Are gable vents ruining your attic ventilation? Learn why mixing intake methods can actually block proper airflow and heat removal.
This video breaks down the mechanics of attic airflow, specifically focusing on the conflict between gable vents and ridge vents. Many homeowners mistakenly add multiple ventilation types, thinking more is better, but this often disrupts the stack effect. We analyze how wind patterns and pressure changes interact with your roof design to determine if your current setup is helping or hurting your home energy efficiency.
By understanding how cool air enters through soffit vents and hot air exits through the ridge, you can identify if your attic is truly breathing. We review the diagram of passive attic ventilation to show you exactly how air should move through a balanced system. Use this information to troubleshoot temperature spikes in your attic before they become expensive structural problems.
