Installing Attic Fan To Cool Down My house

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Before permanently installing the fan, remove any miscellaneous items like old Christmas light clips that might interfere with the flashing or create future leak points. Once the area is clear, apply a generous and continuous bead of roofing sealant (caulk) around the underside edge of the fan's flashing. This creates an initial watertight gasket between the flashing and the roof decking. Carefully slide the fan, base first, into the cut-out hole, ensuring the flashing goes smoothly underneath the lifted shingles. Ensure the fan is centered and seated properly on the roof. Then, use a cordless drill to drive the provided screws through the pre-drilled holes in the flashing into the roof decking, securing the fan in place.

Goal: Mount the solar attic fan securely to the roof with proper flashing and initial sealant.
