"Do not use Wighton's for HVAC installation. We hired Wighton's to install central AC in our new home. We met them onsite before work began, showed them around, and made ourselves readily available ? we live 10 minutes away and told them as much. We even told them we had left snacks and cold drinks in the kitchen for them. What followed was one of the most frustrating and frankly unacceptable contractor experiences we've ever had. They didn't fulfill the most basic terms of their own contract. Their contract explicitly includes "customer walk thru and proper operation explained" as a deliverable. Instead, they called at 3pm to say they were done and had already left ? no heads-up that they were wrapping up, no walkthrough, no explanation of the new system. Just gone. Their contract also promises to "remove old equipment and clean work area to customer's satisfaction." What we actually found: two giant orange traffic cones left behind, a Brita filter, pieces of wood, and literal dirt"

FAQs for attic or whole house fan installation projects in Santa Maria, CA

Installing an attic fan lowers attic temperatures and reduces moisture, protecting stored items and extending the life of roofing materials. It also prevents mold, mildew, and paint deterioration, enhancing energy efficiency and comfort in the home. This type of protection helps you avoid costly repairs in the future and maintains the integrity of your home.

Installing an attic fan may require multiple professionals. A roofing specialist or carpenter can create the vent and mount the fan securely, while a licensed electrician connects the system to the home's electrical supply. A dedicated attic fan installer may be able to tackle all of these areas themselves, so be sure to confirm what services they can provide. Hiring qualified professionals ensures the installation is safe and the attic fan operates reliably.

The lifespan of an attic fan depends on the type and how well it is maintained. Passive attic fans can last 40 to 50 years, while electric and solar models typically last 10 to 15 years. Regular cleaning and maintenance help ensure the fan operates reliably and safely. Ask your installation pro for their recommendations for ongoing maintenance and service to help your attic fan last for as long as possible.
