Is your upstairs level unbearably warm in the summer time?  Does the temperature there stay a good ten to twenty degrees higher than the rest of the house?  Does the air feel stale and old?  You are not alone if you answered yes to any of these questions.  Ventilation is a major problem in the Colorado Springs area due to the crazy climate and poor home ventilation that was installed by the homebuilders.  Even if you have attic vents and gable vents , the chance that your ventilation system is properly balanced is slim to none. Achieving proper attic ventilation takes a balanced flow of intake air and exhaust air.  The best way to achieve this balance is by installing a ridge vent on the ridge of your roof and then installing soffit vents.  A precise mathematical equation, arrived at by obtaining your attic footprint, allows us to balance the air flow in your entire attic, making for cooler summers in your home.  In the winter time, your balanced ventilation system will help to stop any condensation problems, which can rot joists and beams and will also help with your solar gain.  If you are interested in looking at options to vent your house and attic properly, please feel free to contact us, we look forward to hearing from you.
