Podcast Episode Transcription:

And the Check A Pro radio show starts now as I'm working hey everybody thank you for joining me here on my show the checker pro radio show I am check a pro Joe it's so great to have you here each and every week hold on tight it's going to be a fantastic fact filled program if you have a house and you have an attic in your house you need to listen to the show today it's really that simple so if you don't own a house or don't have any interest in the house even if you're an investor and you have rental houses you need to listen to the show today my guest Tom the attic fanatic is going to be joining me in just a few moments I've brought him in as the expert on attic ventilation what happens here this time of year in Austin it gets hot in our homes and it's because of the sun for the most part and because of the basic just all around heat that comes off of the sun it radiates off of everything the attic is the hottest part of our house he's got a great product it's a solar attic fan and this pulls the heat out of the attic to allow us to be more comfortable in our home it saves us money and it keeps our house healthier with that I'm going to introduce my guest Tom the attic fanatic Thomas good to see you it's good to be here thanks for having me absolutely it's hot this time of year here in Austin why doesn't every roof have a solar attic fan answer that question for me the builders put them in right well two reasons we haven't got to all the houses yet OK we're working on it we're trying to get them all done house by house and then yeah a lot of times the builders so we have this conversation on time with builders and like if I have to put ten more dollars in a house and I build a 1000 houses a month for a year it's you know it just adds up so they kind of cut corners wherever they can and they're like you know at the end of the day we're not paying the electric bill for the homeowner it's their problem let them figure it out so they're really more worried about houses house look meet building minimum building code and that's it they're good to go houses sell I mean they like well we can't even keep up we sell houses we have 100 houses sold we night we can't even get them built so we're good so they don't really care about the homeowners so much as we do is looking at the attic temperature so we specialize in attic temperature adding ventilation it's all about air exchanges per hour get more air flow through the attic and keep the attic temperatures down and when you do that you'll lower the energy cost of the home because your exercise running less that's how you save your energy the less the air conditioner runs or the less hours in a day so if it's running 15 hours a day and we can get it down to one or two running say 11 or 10 or 11 hours a day well then you just save 30% on your cooling cost so that's how you save energy and it's pretty simple nice muscular font doesn't cost anything to run so when you lower the edit temperature that's free to do doesn't cost money to run that fan or a couple of them but then you get all the energy savings so that's why they're so valuable and you get a 26% federal energy tax credit with solar ventilation so it's a lot it's a win, win, win situation and it's relatively painless as simple to do our installations take about an hour it's not like it's a big long project call us up we'll come out we'll do the evaluation we'll look at your add and see if it's a good fit for you for the house if it is and we get it scheduled and usually within just a week or so we have it installed and like I said it's a one or two hour installation it's a secret in plain sight meaning you can see it when you drive by a house right but it's a secret in that many people don't know it exists and that's one reason why I have you on my show Tom is to expose the secret let people know that there's a way for them to save money be more comfortable and they're saving money not just something electric bill like you were talking about because it reduces the runtime on the AC pretty much that simple but also roofing shingles the air conditioning system inside the house you know it'll last longer it lasts longer yeah if you look at the air conditioning side if it's 130% less probably going to get 30% more life out of this wear and tear plus you've got it in a cooler environment so nothing kills motors and things more than heat so the lower the heat load like you're saying with the
