Is Your Attic too Hot?

Have you ever been up in your attic on a sunny summer day? Attic temperatures can easily become 30 to 50 degrees higher than the outside temperature. You may not realize that these extreme temperatures can be damaging to your home.

- Extreme heat can deteriorate your wiring insulation and can cause the laminate on your plywood to peel off.

- Keeping your attic cooler will drop the temperature of your home, saving you money and making life more comfortable

- Reducing attic temperatures can prolong the life of your roof. The heat can bake your composition shingles into brittle chips.

- Reducing the heat buildup protects possessions you may be storing in your attic.

- Proper attic ventilation helps prevent fumes in your home from building up. Some water heaters have vents into the attic and may be leaking gases such as carbon monoxide

- When you turn on the faucet, does your water run hot then cold? Your pipes may run through your attic and the sitting water is being steamed in the heat.

Keep yourself cool and support the our economy

United States Senator Dick Lugar recently named Bill Keith, president of SunRise Solar Inc. in St John, Indiana, as a Lugar Energy Patriot for his innovation of solar powered attic fans. The award is part of an ongoing effort by Lugar to recognize members of the business community…who demonstrate leadership and initiative in taking concrete action to reduce America’s dependence on foreign energy sources.

Along with advancing solar power, Keith is committed to keeping his headquarters and production facilities in Indiana. The majority of its raw components come from within the state, and sunrise solar assembles and ships its fans from Warsaw, Indiana.
