The fans will pull air from the outside if near a vent. Path of lowest resistance.
I mentioned this to the Solar guy when they were putting in the solar tubes
He agreed. The motors dont last. How do you know when the stop working
Do your own research

I don't even remember who put it in many years ago - but I do remember that it was about $300. It really NEVER cooled off the attic as I was hoping it to do. Primary waste of money for us....

I had a US Made solar roof fan installed 13 years ago by "ELITE SOLAR". It has a lifetime warranty. It had to be replaced 3 years ago and Elite were happy to send me a new motor.
Call their Arizona office to get a local supplier.
480-635-9767
My installer is not in business now but I think there is another one located on HWY 301 just south of 466.
Good Luck

Why don't I see anyone mentioning a roof turbine to take the hot air out of the attic???
They are inexpensive and we always have a breeze to make them work and they DO work and do a good job for free!

As having sold a brand with a 25 year warranty, you’re misinformed. Principles of attic ventilation is to displace the hot attic air with the cooler air from the eave vents. Attic fans do this in spite of what some say without having accessed diagnostic studies done by reputable agencies. Temperature reduction is generally no less than 20 degrees. Go to Airvent.com for a bit of info why certain roof vents are ineffective and why fans do provide heat reduction.

The solar attic fans from the Solar Guys are guaranteed for 10 years. The one near the garage attic you can see if it's working but I agree the one on the back side of the house you can't. Same problem if you had an electric fan.
