If your attic turns into an oven every summer, you’re not imagining it. Attic temperatures can climb well past 140 degrees on hot days, and all that heat has to go somewhere. It radiates down into your living space, makes your AC work harder than it should, and can shorten the life of your roof and insulation over time. An attic fan is one of the more practical upgrades a homeowner can make, and Kelley Electric has been installing and servicing them across Allentown and the Lehigh Valley since 2008.
Why Attic Fans Make a Difference
Your Home Stays Cooler
Attic fans pull hot air out and replace it with cooler outside air, which takes a real load off your upper floors. If your second floor feels like a different climate from the rest of the house during summer, poor attic ventilation is usually part of the problem.
Your AC Gets a Break
When your attic is running hot, your cooling system has to work against it. Improving attic airflow means your air conditioner is not fighting a losing battle, which can translate to lower energy bills and less wear on the equipment over time.
Less Moisture, Less Risk
Heat and humidity are a bad combination in an attic. Without good ventilation, moisture can build up and create conditions where mold and mildew take hold, or where wood framing and decking start to break down. An attic fan helps keep things dry and stable year-round, not just in summer.
Attic Fan Installation
Kelley Electric handles attic fan installation from start to finish. We start by taking a look at your attic space, factoring in the size, your current ventilation setup, and how the home is oriented, before we recommend anything. Once we land on the right fan type and placement, roof-mounted or gable-mounted, we handle the full installation and make sure everything is properly wired, sealed, and tested before we leave.
We work with reliable equipment and take the time to make sure the install is done right. That means no shortcuts on the electrical work, no gaps left open to moisture, and a fan that actually performs the way it is supposed to.
Attic Fan Repair
If you already have an attic fan that has stopped working or is not keeping up the way it used to, we can help with that too. Common issues include motor failures, damaged fan blades, wiring problems, and thermostat malfunctions. We will take a look, tell you what is going on, and give you a straight answer on whether a repair makes sense or whether replacement is the better call.

Attic Fan Installation & Repair FAQS

A roof-mounted fan sits on top of the roof and exhausts heat straight up and out. A gable-mounted fan installs in the triangular wall vent at the end of your attic and pushes air out horizontally. Which one works better for your home depends on your attic layout, existing ventilation, and roof design. We take a look before we recommend anything.
A few signs: your upper floor stays noticeably hotter than the rest of the house in summer, your energy bills spike during hot weather, or you have noticed moisture staining or musty smells in your attic. Any of those are worth having someone take a look at.
Usually, yes, but it depends on what you already have in place. Attic fans work best when there is also adequate intake ventilation, like soffit vents, so fresh air can replace what the fan is exhausting. We check for that during our initial assessment.
Most installations are completed in a few hours. The exact time depends on the fan type, your attic access, and the condition of your existing electrical setup.
Yes. If your attic fan is not working correctly, we can take a look regardless of who originally installed it. We will diagnose the issue and let you know what the repair involves before any work begins.
Attic fans are fairly low maintenance, but it is a good idea to have one checked periodically, especially after several years of use. Motor bearings can wear down, thermostats can drift out of calibration, and debris can build up around the fan housing over time.
