Sunrise GB-1050 (15 watts) Ideal for Attics 1200-1600Sq. Ft. - Attic Fan

The attic becomes very hot in the summer months and small ventilators are not sufficient to move out that heat. Instead, the heat travels down to the living spaces making your home a very uncomfortable place to stay. This will make your room temperature and air-conditioning bill go through the roof. You can protect your attic and your home, if you can fit a GB 1050 15 watt fan in your attic.

Being a solar fan, the GB-1050 attic fan gets the required energy directly from the sun and this energy helps the fan blades to rotate. During summer, the warm air within the attic is pushed outside and the cool air is circulated back into the attic. This cool air, in turn gets rotated in the entire house. The GB -1050 attic fan is quite effective in reducing the attic temperature by 50-60 degree F and can cool quite efficiently around 1200-1600 sq ft of attic space. The solar panel is crystalline with tempered glass. During the peak of summer, it can eliminate 1050 cubic ft. of air per minute. The fan has a flat base of 24.5 inch x 24.5 inch and the height is 7 inches. The installation of the fan is a very easy process.

The major advantage of using the GB 1050 attic fan is that there is no electricity cost involved as it is a total solar operation. The solar attic fan will give a lot of protection to your roof. Excessive heat or moisture may damage the shingles under the roof and they may get damaged before the expiry of their warranty period. In the winter, your house will remain protected from excessive house damming and fungal decay.

While the electric attic fans run on power, there is an electricity cost involved in the process. Thus it is always better to go for solar attic fans as the cost of running the fan is much less than the electric ones. You can stay comfortably in your home both in summer and winter. You can also save a lot of money with lesser electricity bills during summer.
