In fact, most homeowners will not bother to ventilate the attic in any way. However, attic ventilation plays a very big role when it comes to protecting your home and your comfort. During winter, attic ventilation helps to protect the roof structures from any damage that can result from trapped moisture. In this article, we are going to look at the importance of attic ventilation as well as how you can go about ensuring your attic is properly ventilated.<\/p>\n<p>For more help and information about your HVAC system and attic ventilation, Galmiche &amp; Sons is an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/about-us.html\">HVAC company<\/a> that has been serving the residents of St. Louis and the greater region for many years.

It also protects the roof from moisture problems such as frost, wood rot, ice shingles, and mold growth. In the winter, warm air will rise to your attic. This will bring some moisture with it as well. Should this moisture seep into the roof structure, the framing could become damaged.<\/p>\n<p>With proper attic ventilation, the moist air from the inside is allowed to escape to the outside while dry air is allowed inside. This keeps moisture from accumulating in the attic. Attic ventilation also helps to prevent the growth of mold and mildew and helps to keep rodents and other pests away.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Solutions_for_Attic_Ventilation\"><\/span>Solutions for Attic Ventilation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/attic-ventilation-winter-2-300x201.jpg\" alt=\"Types of Attic Ventilation\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-4691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/attic-ventilation-winter-2-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/attic-ventilation-winter-2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For proper attic ventilation, it is important to have both intake and exhaust vents installed. The intake vents allow dry air from the outside to enter while the exhaust vents allow the moist air to escape. In order to achieve proper attic ventilation, a ratio of 1:1 is needed for the intake and exhaust vents.<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Intake_Vents\"><\/span>Intake Vents<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>These are available in three main types:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Gable vents <\/strong>&#8211; These are installed in the gable at the roof&rsquo;s highest peak point.
