Current best practice for roof vents?
We're re-roofing this spring and I'd like to replace the roof vents at
the same time. We currently have turbine-style vents which were installed decades ago when the attic was insulated and vented. The turbines have moving parts and I'm certain that they'll start to fail soon, probably at the worst time. Last winter during a nasty cold spell following a heavy snow, one did start screaming as it turned, but quieted down as soon as the sun came out the next day. We probably won't be so lucky next time. On the other hand, the turbines are tall and stick out above the snow on the roof. We often have a foot of snow on the roof for months at a time. Other than trying to avoid turbines, does the style matter, so long as they're big enough and there's enough of them? -- Bert Hyman St. Paul, MN |
