My dad told me to do this years ago and I never did it, I said it doesn’t really make a difference, well now I am a believer. I have been doing research (I know so what else is new), on solar attic fans, etc. My Dad again chimed in that if I would open up my access door in the garage to the attic, not bring the ladder down or anything, just open it up, that would help the air movement along with the air coming through the eves that would then escape from the roof vents. Well I believe this is now helping the cooling affect since we put a temperature gauge up there, with the door shut it was running 130 or so, now opening it up it is still hot but cooler than it was, around 105-115. I know that still seems high but here in Florida that isn’t such a bad drop. There isn’t any “real” test that you can do since everyday is different but I guess it can’t hurt getting more air circulating in the attic.
