Installing a Venti Solar Attic Fan is a great way to improve ventilation in your home, reduce energy costs, and extend the life of your roof.

Whether you’re dealing with a steep roof, a curb, or a gable, Venti offers various models to suit your needs. Here’s a guide on how to mount different types of Venti Solar Attic Fans.

Fixed Panel Solar Attic Fans

Ultra Low Profile Model: This model is designed for those who want an aesthetically pleasing, roof-hugging fan. Its sleek design blends seamlessly with your roofline, making it an unobtrusive yet effective solution.

Tile Roof Model: Specifically designed for S-Tile roofs, this fan maintains the integrity of your roof while providing efficient ventilation.

Installation Tips:

  • Locate the best spot on the roof where the fan will get maximum sunlight.
  • Ensure the area is clear of any obstructions.
  • Secure the base of the fan to the roof using screws, and seal any gaps with roofing tar to prevent leaks.

Adjustable Panel Solar Attic Fans

Roof Mount: This fan provides flexibility with its adjustable panel, allowing you to capture the maximum amount of sunlight regardless of the roof’s angle. It’s an excellent choice for roofs with varying slopes.

Curb Mount: Similar to the roof mount, this model offers the same angle flexibility but is designed for installation on curbs. It’s ideal for flat roofs where a curb is present.

Installation Tips:

  • Position the fan where it will receive the most sunlight throughout the day.
  • Adjust the panel angle to maximize sun exposure.
  • Attach the fan securely to the roof or curb, and seal around the base to prevent water infiltration.

Gable Mount Solar Attic Fans

Gable Fans: These fans are perfect for replacing existing gable fans or for situations where a roof-mounted fan isn’t desired. They are installed on the gable of your home, providing effective ventilation without compromising the roof structure.

Installation Tips:

  • Remove the old gable vent or fan.
  • Fit the new fan into the existing opening and secure it with screws.
  • Ensure the solar panel is aligned correctly to capture the most sunlight.

Final Thoughts

Mounting a Venti Solar Attic Fan is a straightforward process that can greatly enhance your home’s ventilation.

By choosing the right model and following these installation tips, you’ll ensure that your attic stays cool and well-ventilated, reducing the strain on your HVAC system and extending the life of your roof.
