How Much Do Attic Fans Cost?

by George Karonis

Attic fans are the best way to ventilate your attic. Keeping your attic well-ventilated reduces the chances of mold and mildew growth, rot, and ice dams. Plus, it makes your attic more comfortable and prevents a hot attic from heating up the rest of your home.

If you’re considering purchasing an attic fan, you may be wondering about its cost. Cost is usually a consideration, no matter what you’re buying, and attic fans are no exception.

The cost of an attic fan ranges somewhere in the hundreds of dollars, usually from about $200-$500, depending on the make and model of your attic fan and how powerful it is. However, this range can vary greatly depending on these factors. Below, we’ll go over some of our products and their costs with you, but first, let’s touch on how attic fans can save you money.

Offsetting Cost: How Attic Fans Save You Money
Spending a few hundred dollars is a big purchase for many people. Nobody wants to waste that money on an appliance they don’t really need. While attic fans are very much a necessary purchase, you can also frame it as a cost-saving investment.

Attic fans remove heat and moisture from your attic. By doing so they prevent structural damage from mold, rot, and ice dams. Repairing these damages can cost many hundreds or even thousands of dollars. When you use an attic fan properly, your attic won’t be subject to these problems.

Furthermore, if you use your AC while your attic is hot, it’ll be fighting the heat leaching down from your attic, driving up your energy costs and wasting money. Attic fans keep your attic cool and can save you money on electricity, especially if you use a solar attic fan.
