Attic Ventilation Austin, TX

Thinking that the most energy-efficient roof is a tightly-sealed roof would be incorrect. Ventilation in your roof is not only energy efficient but also is required by building codes.

In the summertime, adequate ventilation in your roof will keep prevent hot air from building up in your attic which in-turn lowers the load on your air conditioning system. In the winter, ventilation will act as an outlet for moist air in your house generated by showers, cooking and laundry. No outlet for this moist air can lead to damaged roofing and insulation as the moist air condenses and drips.
