Attic Vents vs Ridge Vents

I am going to have a new roof put on my 15 year old house. Currently there are several vents on the roof which let heat out. I also have an attic fan which draws heat out of the attic. I wanted to know are there any advantages to having a Ridge vent vs the individual vents placed along the roof? Also, can you put a ridge vent over an area that has a vaulted ceiling? iv owned my own roofing company for 10 years now and as a roofer i would push the ridge vent all day only because i could make more money but as a home owner and my own house i have installed 2 attic fans because they are truly pulling the hot air out over having the hot air gradually come out on it own also attic fans lower your cost of your electric bill because you a/c don't have to run as long and hard to keep you whole house cool and it also keep you shingle from burning up and keep a long life expedience for those reason ill have attic fans over ridge vent in my house but all roofing company including my self will push ridge vent and that's the cold fact Thanks for any and all responses J E Frink Atlanta, GA iv owned my own roofing company for 10 years now and as a roofer i would push the ridge vent all day only because i could make more money but as a home owner and my own house i have installed 2 attic fans because they are truly pulling the hot air out over having the hot air gradually come out on it own also attic fans lower your cost of your electric bill because you a/c don't have to run as long and hard to keep you whole house cool and it also keep you shingle from burning up and keep a long life expedience for those reason ill have attic fans over ridge vent in my house but all roofing company including my self will push ridge vent and that's the cold fact |
