Properly insulate the area around the
fan to minimize building heat loss and
gain. (Fig.13)
Loose fill or batt insulation can be
placed directly over the fan housing in
the attic. Our fans and fan/light
combination units do not create
excessive heat that is a common
problem with recessed light fixtures or
some competitor’s fan/light
combination. Our efficient, cool-running
motors and our fluorescent lamps do
not create enough ambient heat to be
subjected to these limitations.
