Roof turbines not only work to remove hot air from summer attics they also provide ventilation to reduce moisture.

And in fact just so you know those spinning roof vents are probably not the best way to vent your roof. It is also a myth that turbine vents remove warm air from attic spaces in winter months. During summer months turbines eliminate hot. There are many types of vents that you may have on your roof including turbine soffit rafter and metal pot vents but you should not cover any of these roof vents during the winter.

Without proper ventilation the extra moisture in the heated air will cause wood rot mildew mold and exterior problems like ice dams. Somebody told me well you ll save money in the winter if you cover your turbines up tom. But suck warmth from your rooms in winter. Never cover turbine with a bag.

Roof turbines are great in summer. Roof turbines remove attic moisture and reduce the risk of costly roof damage. During winter months warm air rises into your attic. A roof fall is very dangerous.

By covering the turbine in winter this effect is lost and moisture can quickly build up in the attic causing structural damage and increasing the chances of mold and mildew.
