I have heard that ridge vents only work well if there are wide

On houses with narrow soffits, box vents are recommended.

Any truth to this?


I'd ask why?

Seems to make no sense to me.

Sounds like he's saying you need larger intake vents regardless and he
likes box vents. Maybe that's all he knows how to install?


Box vents are way easier to install neatly than soffit vents.
