The addition we put on has ridge vents. I've only run the air a couple of
times this year but when I did once, I left the attic hatch open, and the
attic was actually quite cool. I'm in the Chicago area, and its been hot.

yeah ridge vents cost nothing to operate generate no noise, reuire no
maintence.

most homes here are getting them as they are re roofed, get used to the
look, its a sign of energy efficency.

when you want to sell your home ridge vents are a plus, for the above
reasons.
