Proper Attic Ventilation will Save You Money and Extend the Life of your Roof

When was the last time you thought about attic ventilation? If you are like most people, attic ventilation is not a top concern. However, did you know that proper attic ventilation will extend the life of your roof and help lower your energy costs? That is because proper attic ventilation allows heat to exit your attic. This is extremely important for homes and businesses in the Ocala area. Moisture and intense heat lead to moisture problems and high energy costs. Not only will proper attic ventilation remove excess heat and moisture, but it will also prevent it from occurring.

What Is the Purpose of Attic Ventilation?

Attic ventilation equalizes the flow of air in your home. At the same time, it reduces moisture in your attic. It allows air to enter the attic as well as leave the attic. Roofs face the sun, which causes them to generate a lot of heat during the summer. This heat has a way to escape thanks to attic ventilation, which also lets in fresh air.

How Hard Is It to Add Additional Ventilation to an Existing Roof?

Adding additional ridge, gable, or sofit vents to the top of your roof is a relatively easy job that delivers significant benefits. Many code-compliant homes have some attic ventilation. However, that ventilation may be minimal, or it may have been blocked by insulation or roof felt. In either case, a proper inspection will reveal if, where, and how much ventilation should be added. If you are not sure about the condition of your attic ventilation, give us a call. We will inspect your roof and make a recommendation based on your home’s needs.

Benefits of Good Attic Ventilation



Lowers Your AC Bills

When a roof is properly vented, it allows heat and moisture to exit the roof. This helps lower the temperature in your attic, which in turn allows your HVAC system to work more efficiently, therefore saving you money on utility bills.



Extends the Lifespan of Your Roof

When hot air can escape your attic, it also lowers moisture levels. Lowering the moisture level will help keep your shingles from expanding from excess moisture. In other words, with less wear and tear on your shingles, they will last longer and perform their function more effectively.



Prevents Mold and Moisture

If you own a home or business in the Ocala area, you know that summer is hot and humid. Without good attic ventilation, the heat and moisture in your attic can cause a number of problems, including moisture buildup and mold. Proper ventilation lets the heat and moisture escape.

Bowles roofing has been called twice for roof issues since I have been living in my home. Both times, the gentlemen that have come out, have been very professional, personable and dependable. The first time I had a leak, the owner came out and walked my roof and told me that the water mark which I had seen on my ceiling was caused by the driving rain which caused the rain to come up under my ridge vent (hurricane rains). He told me my roof looked in good order and there were no issues. And sure enough, there were no more issues after the hurricane. He was correct. The second time when I heard dripping on my ceiling after a rain (3 years later), Anthony Chase came out and checked an area on the ridge vent which the crows had been picking. He inspected both the roof and the attic at the point of concern and more. Although the repair was a less than 10 minute repair, he never indicated that this small job was any less important. He was patient with my questions, clearly explained what the crows did to the caulking line where the ridge vents met and let me know that otherwise, my roof appeared to be in very good condition. I would highly recommend Bowles roofing to anyone who needed a roof. I have found them to be a very dependable and honest. If you have any roof issues or concerns, I would highly recommend calling Bowles roofing. I will definitely being calling them when it comes time to repair my roof. They have given exceptional care to both my roof and me. THANK YOU BOWLES ROOFING!
