FAN - ATTIC

Heiland Enterprises is Providing Natural Lighting and Cooler Attics

Global warming? No one knows for sure but some are blaming it for the milder winters and scorching summers we've been experiencing lately. But whether the planet is gradually warming or it's just El Nino or other normal weather variations, people are looking for ways to live more comfortably and affordably in this environment.

Mike Heiland of Heiland Enterprises offers several environmentally friendly products that can add comfort, efficiency and enjoyment to homes and businesses.

One is the Fan-Attic, a solar-powered attic fan which works year-round to keep the attic well ventilated. Mike explains that attics need good circulation all year, but especially during the summer when temperatures can rise as high as 150° in the average attic.

Powered by sunlight, the roof ventilator reduces heat build-up by improving air flow within the attic space. In fact, it can circulate as much as 800 cubic feet of air a minute, significantly lowering temperatures!

The Fan-Attic plays an important role during winter as well, reducing moisture build-up and condensation. A dry attic will help prolong the life of siding, exterior paint and roofing materials.

"We've been very happy with the performance of the Fan-Attic," Mike says. "I saw the need for a product like this while installing Sun Tunnels, and I'm pleased to now be able to offer it to my clients.

"Fan-Attic can save homeowners up to 50 percent in cooling expenses because it reduces the workload on the air conditioner and costs absolutely nothing to run."
