Solar attic fans are active ventilation systems that keep attic temperatures low. Keeping attic temperatures low means less need to run your AC and consume high levels of energy, which saves you money. When its hot outside, the sun beats down onto your attic which does not have an efficient way to release that heat, this causes the heat to penetrate your insulation and other building materials of your home. When this occurs, it keeps the temperature in your home high- well into the night, penetrating your living spaces. Solar attic fans prevent this problem by running silently every day, providing ventilation in your attic and keeping heat and moisture from building up. They force hot air out, and since they are run completely off of solar energy, there is no need to waste energy therefore reducing your energy costs with the decreased need to run your AC by up to 20%. With the added benefit of reducing moisture (which can cause mold spores to grow, as well as the breakdown of insulation and rafters) solar attic fans reduce the need for preventative maintenance on your roof and attic.

Nest is an app enabled wifi thermostat. It learns and allows you to create a personalized schedule based on the changes you make to it daily. It automatically adapts and changes to fit your lifestyle. Since it is app enabled, you can control nest from your smart phone or tablet in real-time, wherever you are. It also recognizes when you are away from your home and automatically adjusts so it is not heating or cooling an empty home. Nest can also provide you with a history of your energy usage and allows you to see when your system was powered on, and the auto-away feature and how they affect your energy usage. It also has a feature called “Leaf”. This symbol appears when you have your Nest set to a temperature that is most energy efficient.
