Intake Vents Installation Tips

Proper Placement:

Install vents at high points to allow hot air to escape and near soffits or gable ends to ensure fresh air intake.

Vent Selection:

Choose vents based on material, climate, and specific ventilation needs. Options include plastic or metal vents, each offering unique benefits depending on the installation requirements.

Professional Installation:

While some vents may be installed by homeowners, professional installation is recommended for complex systems or areas with challenging access.
