416-333-4554Most homeowners have a good understanding of attic insulation and how it works. But not many have a good understanding of how attic ventilation works. While the attic space needs to be “air sealed," it’s also necessary to have appropriate airflow through the attic and roof cavity. This is where attic ventilation in Vaughan comes into play.
Attic ventilation is part of a “system” that works with attic insulation to provide home comfort and energy efficiency. As such, proper air circulation in the attic is vital in winter and summer. The point is, without adequate ventilation, the insulation won’t deliver maximum performance levels.
When attic ventilation is inadequate, the HVAC system (heating and cooling) works harder to provide indoor comfort during summer and winter. And with excessive moisture accumulating, the moist environment could provide an environment for mold to grow.
In winter, inadequate attic ventilation in Vaughan causes ice to form along the edge of the roof. This is called “ice damming," and it’s caused by the constant melting and freezing of ice and snow. Ice dams will often damage roof shingles and even ruin the roof structure.
In every home, warm air will rise and collect in the attic and roof cavity. Then, the existing attic vent system allows the warm air to ventilate out. Needless to say, numerous attic vents are required to ensure optimal ventilation during winter and summer.
Venting your attic is essential for managing air moisture to reduce humidity and mitigate a host of problems. With a well-ventilated attic, air moisture isn’t given a chance to accumulate, thus avoiding associated problems.
