Roof Ventilation in Oro Valley, Arizona

The Oro Valley sun bakes the roof all summer. The attic can reach over 140 degrees. Roof ventilation in Oro Valley means the system that removes the trapped heat and protects the roof from the bottom.

Signs Your Oro Valley Home Needs Better Ventilation

• High cooling bills in the summer — the hot attic is working against the AC
• Hot upstairs rooms — the heat is radiating down from the attic
• Curled or buckled shingles — the heat is cooking the roof from below
• Condensation in the attic — the moisture is trapped
• Mold or mildew in the attic — the poor airflow is breeding the moisture

Why Oro Valley Homes Need Roof Ventilation

The heat is the main reason. The Oro Valley sun heats the roof to over 160 degrees and the attic traps the heat. The trapped heat cooks the shingles from below and shortens the roof life. The ventilation removes the heat and protects the roof.

The cooling costs are the second reason. The hot attic radiates the heat into the living space. The AC works harder and the bills rise. The ventilation drops the attic temperature and the cooling bills.

How We Install Roof Ventilation in Oro Valley

1. Inspect the attic — check the current ventilation and the airflow
2. Plan the system — the intake and the exhaust balance
3. Install the ridge vent — the vent along the roof peak
4. Install the soffit vents — the intake vents under the eaves
5. Balance the system — the intake and the exhaust for the proper airflow

Preventing Ventilation Problems in Oro Valley

• Balance the intake and the exhaust — the proper airflow needs both
• Check the soffit vents are clear — the insulation can block the intake
• Use the solar attic fan — the fan runs on the sun and costs nothing to run
• Check the baffles — the baffles keep the insulation out of the airflow

In Oro Valley, the roof ventilation is the key to the roof life. The ridge vent and the soffit vents remove the trapped heat and protect the shingles from the bottom. The attic temperature drops and the cooling bills follow.
