Turbo Vents, Whirly Birds, Ventilators, Roof Fans
What does a Whirly Bird/ Roof Turbo Vent actually do?
Turbo Vents are roof mounted turbine ventilators are wind driven “fans” that take out hot, polluted and stale air from the roof space. Hot air trapped in the roof space is taken out in “hot” summer months keeping the house cooler; reducing pressure on the air conditioning system.
In winter, the turbo vent removes hot steam from exhaust fans in wet areas.
Turbo vents work around the clock, free! No electricity is required because turbo vents are set in motion by the wind.
