Smart attic fans are the newest revolution in the attic fan industry.
A smart attic fan features a built-in thermostat and/or humidistat that directly controls the motor speed based on the conditions in the attic. By self-adjusting to the attic conditions, the fan is able to maintain an optimum year-round attic climate while minimizing energy consumption.
In the summer months, a smart attic fan will prevent the attic from reaching scorching hot temperatures that, in turn, transfer into the living space below.
These smart fans typically feature a smartphone app that offers the ability to control all parameters of the fan from temperature settings, humidity settings, and it even allows you to see the current conditions in the attic.
Studies have even shown that a smart attic fan can keep your attic within 10 degrees of the outside temperature, even during the peak heat of the day.
