Ventilation
What the job actually involves.
A Texas attic reaches 140 degrees on a July afternoon, and everything in it suffers: the decking, the underlayment, the shingles from underneath, anything stored up there, and the cooling bill of the house below. Ventilation is how that heat leaves. It works on a simple principle, cool air in low at the soffits and hot air out high at the ridge, and it fails for equally simple reasons, usually soffit vents that somebody insulated over.
Balance is the whole job. Adding exhaust without matching intake does not move more air; it pulls conditioned air up out of the house through every ceiling gap instead, which costs money and can drag moisture into the attic in winter. So the first thing worth doing is counting what is already there against the attic square footage, and on plenty of houses the fix is clearing the intake rather than buying anything.

The Difference
The part that decides how long it lasts.
Where powered ventilation is the answer we install Attic Breeze, and we are a certified installer for them. Their units run on their own solar panel, so there is no wiring to the house and nothing on the electricity bill, and they are quiet enough that the usual objection to an attic fan does not apply. The rest of the time the answer is passive: ridge vent, correctly sized static vents, and soffits that are actually open.

Ventilation, answered.
Will an attic fan lower my electricity bill?
It lowers attic temperature, which reduces the load on the ceilings and the cooling lines below. How much that shows up on a bill depends on your insulation depth and what else is routed through the attic. The clearer benefit is to the roof itself, because heat is what cooks an asphalt shingle from underneath.
Solar or electric?
Solar, in nearly every case. There is no wiring run, nothing added to the bill, and the fan runs hardest exactly when the sun is driving the heat. The trade-off is that it does not run after dark, which is when you need it least.
How many vents does my attic need?
The usual rule is one square foot of net free ventilating area per 150 square feet of attic floor, split roughly evenly between intake and exhaust. We measure rather than guess, because the intake side is almost always the one that is short.
Can too much ventilation be a problem?
Unbalanced ventilation can be. Too much exhaust against too little intake makes the attic pull air from the house instead of from outside. Adding a second powered fan to an attic that is already short on soffit intake makes the problem worse rather than better.
