[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You really need both soffit and ridge venting - low and high to pull the air through. If you can’t get enough low venting then look into high powered vents. [/quote] Attic venting solves a very particular problem. In cold weather, the air inside the house is warmer and more humid than the air outside. When inside air leaks through the ceiling and into the attic, the moisture in that air can condense when it hits the cold underside of the roof. If that condensation is allowed to happen it can cause mold and rot in the framing of the roof. The purpose of roof venting is create an air flow that dissipates the moisture that is entering the attic through the ceiling. The problem with power venting is that it tends to pull air through the ceiling. Rather than venting moist air, it pulls more moist air into the attic from the living space. It also tends to make the space below the ceiling less comfortable. [/quote]
