Setting the temperature on your attic fan is an important step in making it work correctly.
Attic Fans work by pulling in cool air from the outside through roof vents and the hot air is expelled through the fan. Using an attic fan keeps the house cool without using the air conditioner so it saves money on your electric bill.
Here are the basic steps that should be included when Setting the Temperature On Your Attic Fan:
Make sure to mount an attic fan that has a temperature control switch. The fan will turn on and off by itself since it will be regulated by setting the control to the desired temperature.
- Set the temperature on your attic fan’s control switch to between 100 and 110 by using a slot screwdriver and placing it in the regulator. You will turn the screwdriver until it reaches the correct temperature.
- Once the temperature in your attic reaches 100 degrees, your attic fan should kick on. Its best to set the temperature higher rather than lower due to the amount of electricity an attic fan uses. You don’t want the fan to be constantly be running in the summer.
- You shouldn’t have to reset this temperature again if it is set correctly the first time. Once the weather gets hotter you should check the attic fan to make sure it is turning on and functioning correctly.
