Solar Roof Ventilator Installation
Solar roof vents are an innovative solution designed to enhance the ventilation of your home. These eco-friendly systems offer a range of advantages that cater to the comfort and energy efficiency needs of Australian households.
If your roof has sarking these won’t work as well, as the roof space is sealed, but there are still plenty of gaps in a roof where air can flow through. You can always call us at AllCoast Roofing for advice.
Main advantage of Solar Vents
The advantage of solar vents over standard is that on a hot windless day these are still spinning removing heat where a standard vent almost completely stops.
Can Solar Roof Vents Work At Night?
Solar roof vents are only functional during daylight hours when the sun is shining.
How much does a solar ventilator cost?
The price of a solar roof ventilator is $990 inc. GST. When compared to the recommended 2-4 quality whirly birds ($495 inc. GST each for our wind-driven WindMaster Whirlybirds) for a standard home, a single solar roof ventilator is more cost effective.
