Soffit & Fascia Vents
Air Intake Systems

According to recent research, an estimated 9 out of 10 homes in the United States have inadequate attic ventilation systems. An inadequate system can often be attributed to having little or no intake system throughout the home’s attic. Failure to have a proper intake system can render your attic’s current ventilation virtually useless. This intake ventilation provides fresh, cool air to the system to replace the hot air that is usually stored in your attic. This hot air is then pushed out of the ridge vents of your roof. There’s not one solution that can be universally applied across all homes. Each home is different and requires a different ventilation strategy. For homeowners who want to add air intake vents to their home, there are two ways to go about it:

Soffit Vents

A soffit vent goes under the soffit board of your home, taking in air from the wind or negative pressure from the roof’s ventilation. This air then travels up the underside of the roof, through the attic pushing the hot air out. This is the most common type of intake ventilation for homeowners in the San Antonio & Austin area, and is great to keep the attic cooler in the summer months under the hot Texas sun.

Fascia Vents

Another possible intake vent for homeowners, without soffits on their home, are fascia vents. Fascia vents are installed into the siding of the home, where the attic space meets the roof. This allows for the same effect as a soffit vent, creating negative pressure and bringing in cool air to push the hot air through the ridge vents. However your home is built, we have the ventilation technology to accommodate and lower your energy costs.
