    In the market for a roof and I would say there are a lot of details for sure as spoken above. So my question for anyone is on a roof attic fan. When my house was built 17 years ago with an installed roof vent I was told to put in a roof ceiling fan in my walk up attic Now over the years had one or two contractors tell me it works against the ridge vent in the cooling process for the attic. Is that so as I’m thinking of going ahead with new roof and just remove existing attic roof fan? Is it really necessary.

    I just don’t know but the second floor does seem warmer when the roof fan is not turned on. So not sure with the whole cooling aspect in having it along with a ridge vent.

    Quoted from extraballingtmc:

    I’ve not had a customer with an interior attic fan. Without testing I would agree that the air would be pushed away and could work against the ridge venting. You can always turn it off or disconnect the fan initially and see how ridge venting works on its own.

    Thanks!
