We at Attic Wizard specialize in installing attic fans at residences in the most professional manner, without any flaws or defects. Let’s understand the different types of attic fans, and their respective cost to install attic fan.

• Passive Fan

These attic fans are probably the most affordable ones out of the lot. It can cost anything between $75 – $110. It does not use any power or electricity, rather rotates with the air-flow inside the home. Good for residences that are in a windy zone. Since it doesn’t require any electricity to run, you can fit it with a thermostat that produces ‘direct’ current. Thus, you cannot control or regulate it.

• Roof-top Turbines

In fact, they are more effective than passive fans, and can cost anything between $110 – $150 to install on home roofs. They work with the air-flow of the house interiors, and spins as the hot air rises and pushes against the turbine. Since it also doesn’t use any electricity, it is highly energy-efficient, but cannot be connected with a thermostat. On the other hand, if you are residing in a rain prone area, it might not be a wise decision to install, as the water may enter the attic through the turbine.

• Attic Exhaust Fan

The installation cost of an exhaust fan can be anything between $150 – $450. It can be either passive or electric powered. Electric exhaust fans outperform passive ones because they can connect to a thermostat control, allowing for speed regulation.

• Electric Fan

Our insulation company can help install an electric attic fan at cost in the range of $150 – $500. These fans need electricity to run and are connected to a thermostat. It helps your attic space stay cooler and pleasant even during the hottest summer days. Since this fan draws electricity from the power grid, it can increase your energy bills. But, a branded model can be quite energy-efficient to operate.

• Solar Fan

A solar fan can cost anything between $350 – $1200 to install. Though it is quite expensive than other attic fan installation services, these solar powered ones are highly energy-efficient, as they use the sun’s energy to operate instead of electricity from the power-grid. Thus it is a value-for-money investment, simply because of its energy saving aspect.

• Dual Powered Attic Fan

This type of fan can cost anywhere between $300 – $1100 to install. This type of fan uses the sun’s energy as the primary source of power. But, if there isn’t adequate sunlight during the rainy days, it can switch to the second mode, wherein it draws power from the house electricity grid.
