The Indoor Comfort Specialists

Economizer is committed to bringing you TOTAL INDOOR COMFORT for better home VENTILATION.

Sacramento has the mildest summers in the Central Valley, which is a scary thought because it gets hotter than hell a few times during our summer seasons! Sometimes Sacramento will get temperatures over a 100F for two to three weeks at a time! This really drives up the cost of electricity whilst residents run the AC units full-time!

ATTIC FANS

Remove the Hot Air from your Attic, greatly REDUCE your Home’s Heat Load. Save Money and Prolong the Life of your System.

Excessive summer heat in the attic can hinder the performance of an air conditioning system. The installation of an attic exhaust fan can alleviate this problem. A general rule of thumb is to provide an attic fan for every 300 sq. foot of area.

An attic exhaust fan typically is an electrical-powered fan mounted in such a way as to remove hot air from attic spaces. Most units come equipped with an electronic or mechanical thermostat that automatically turns the power on when attic temperatures reach a specified level.

Benefits associated with the ventilation provided by an attic exhaust fan.

The MONEY SAVED on air conditioning bills in one season can pay for the cost of the fan and the installation fees. In some cases, air conditioning might not be necessary after an attic exhaust fan is in use.

The TEMPERATURE DROPS noticeably in the house when an attic fan is turned on.

AVOID MOLD AND MOISTURE BUILD-UP. The air temperature inside the attic should be the same as the outdoor temperature. This will eliminate moisture on the interior surfaces of the attic and underneath roofing materials.

EASY MAINTENANCE: If the attic exhaust fan motor ever wears out, the fan motor can usually be replaced without a complete installation of a new unit. This procedure is easily accomplished from inside the attic rather than from on the roof. Thermostats are also easily replaced.

Attic exhaust fans come basically in two styles.

One style mounts in the gable end, drawing air through the attic, usually through a stationary vent in the other gable end. The fan is mounted behind a set of louvers that prevent rain and extreme weather from damaging the unit.

The other style of attic exhaust fan is mounted on the roof, normally near the top ridge of the roof. Air is drawn through vents in the overhang of the roof. Various combinations of air supply vents are common.

Save Money and Prolong the Life of your System

Whole House Fans will pull the cool, fresh outside air into your living spaces through your windows, and push hot, stale indoor air out through your attic and out the vents. The upside is that unlike air-conditioners, you don’t just recirculate the air in your home. You actually replace it with fresh air in your home and attic. Every time you turn on the fan. Over and over.
