Why Your Attic Is Hurting Your Whole House

Hey, it’s Jamie Clark with Whiteboard Wednesday! I started Synergy over a decade ago to take a whole-home, holistic approach—not just HVAC. Today, we’re talking about why those spinning metal roof vents—aka whirly birds or chef’s hats—are actually hurting your home. They pull more air out of your attic than it can naturally replace, so your home pulls in air from the basement, crawlspace, and cracks around the foundation, bringing in dust, allergens, humidity, and cold air…

Whirly Birds

Why is your HVAC contractor so interested in your attic? Because it plays a huge role in your home’s comfort, efficiency, and indoor air quality.
