If you don’t have a proper vent for your roof, the combination of hot air and moisture can cause mold to grow, leading to a variety of potential health issues. In addition, there’s the potential for a roof collapse if the roof continually rots. This applies for both residential and commercial roofs.

This could help lower heating and cooling costs throughout the year, giving your household budget a little bit of relief.

Roof Vent Options

One benefit of these is that they are the simplest of all roof vents, with no moving parts. However, you will generally need more than one of these because of this. For those who are environmentally minded, a wind vent may be a better option. These types of vents have moving parts, but no actual engines, relying on the wind instead. The spinning action wind vents create draws hot air and moisture from the attic. Finally, motor vents use electricity to power a fan to pull out the moisture and hot air.

What will decide the best option generally hinges on your house’s design as well as your budgetary concerns. For example, box vents may not be a good match for a home with limited roof space to work with.
