How to Improve Roof Ventilation
Improper roof ventilation
prevent big issues in the future
- Firstly, ensure that there are enough soffit vents near the eaves of your home for fresh air to enter the attic space – this should comprise 30% of the total vent area to provide ample airflow.
- Secondly, ensure that ridge vents or gable ends provide adequate exhaust by installing louvers if needed.
- Thirdly, check for any blockages (such as bird nests) and close off any unused openings in attic spaces to further boost the system's efficiency.
- Finally, be sure that all dampers and flues within the attic space are well sealed with no noticeable leaks so as not to decrease heating and cooling efficiency.
