My insurance company has suggested that I replace my large power vent with two hip roof side ridge vents. He said it would be more aesthetic, lower my electric bill and actually function better. I have found articles on the web that seem to support this. Has anyone done this?
Have you considered solar-powered fans? They are more effective than vents and, being low powered (not mains), are not a significant fire risk.
