When an attic fan fails, your entire home feels it. Summer heat lingers longer, winter moisture condenses on rafters, and HVAC systems struggle to keep up. Choosing to replace an attic fan quickly saves homeowners energy costs, extends roof life, and helps maintain healthy indoor air. CountBricks streamlines every step of that replacement—from the first voice-activated estimate to the final invoice—so contractors and homeowners alike get clear numbers, fast approvals, and zero surprises.

Pricing varies by region, roof pitch, and fan capacity, but CountBricks data from thousands of residential projects puts the average full-scope replacement between $450 and $1,200. That number includes:
• New attic fan (solar, electric, or smart Wi-Fi models)
• Roof or gable vent flashing kits
• Electrical disconnect and switch
• Labor for removal, installation, and cleanup
• Minor roof patching and weatherproof sealant
Because CountBricks pulls live supplier feeds, your proposal always reflects current pricing—not last month’s flyer—so margins stay protected.

Underestimating Roof Patch Time
Our historic dataset flags steep-slope roofs and automatically adds labor hours for safe tear-off and flashing.
Electrical Upgrades Surprise
The AI cross-references the home’s age with local code cycles. If AFCI breakers or GFCI outlets are required, they appear as separate line items—no last-minute change orders.
Weather Delays
CountBricks integrates NOAA forecasts, suggesting buffer days on the schedule and highlighting potential material storage needs.
• Electric Roof-Mounted: Most common, reliable in all climates, mid-range cost.
• Solar-Powered: Zero operating cost, ideal for sunny regions, higher up-front price.
• Smart Hybrid Fans: Switch between solar and grid power, app-controlled CFM, perfect for tech-savvy homeowners.
CountBricks’ product database details CFM ratings, noise levels, and warranty terms so contractors can upsell high-efficiency models with confidence.
• Always verify attic insulation depth; exposed batts near a new fan can create air bypass and reduce efficiency.
• Use a smoke pencil before and after install to demonstrate improved airflow—great for homeowner satisfaction photos in the CountBricks.com/portfolio gallery.
• Add a thermostat/humidistat combo switch for regions with wide temperature swings.
• Seal wiring penetrations with fire-rated caulk to maintain attic firewall integrity.
• Capture before-and-after power meter readings; CountBricks invoices can display projected annual energy savings.
