During a Pleasanton home inspection, a creative solution for cooling the attic space was spotted.
Yes, a table top fan was tied to the roof directly under a roof vent.
On a hot summer day, attic temperatures can easily hit 135 – 150F with a dark color asphalt shingle roof.
This was a sizeable attic space and it would take a lot of air volume moving through the attic for any significant cooling to take place.
A single 12″ oscillating fan set to the stationary position has a negligible effect on attic cooling… it’s a waste of electricity and since it was plugged in an extension cord, a potential fire concern.
