Attic temp hitting 140F
Just bought a 4yr old house in MA. 5000sqft with enormous unconditioned attic. Photo above is roughly 33% of the space. We’ve got a heat wave so smoke detector (heat) was going off once temps passed 135f threshold. Roof has a single vent fan which I assume does not have enough CFM to make a dent. My main concern is damage to hvac equipment and/or shortening life of roof. Should I be considering installing more fans? Downside is that more holes in a roof is probably never a good idea. submitted by /u/shred444 [link] [comments]
