Turbine Attic Ventilators, those metal roof vents that spin in the wind, have a problem. They suck warmth from the home in winter, wasting a lot of energy every year.
The furnace must run longer to replace the lost heat. Some homeowners cover their turbine ventilators in winter with a plastic bag. This saves energy but is much too risky. Today, The Turbine Boss(TM) makes new and old turbine ventilators become energy efficient. It automatically stops the turbine heat loss in winter. Just install it and forget it.
Powered by Temperature ... Not Batteries
The Turbine Boss(TM) controls the turbine's airflow. It easily fits inside the turbine's cylinder. Its louvers automatically rotate from 'open' to 'closed' (like a venetian blind) when the outdoor temperature gets cold. This reduces the turbine suction in winter by 80%. As the season changes, the louvers open again in warm weather to exhaust the scorching attic heat. It's completely automatic.
The Thermostatic Controller component causes the louvers to OPEN at 80 degrees F in summer and CLOSE at 40 degrees F in winter. This patented, automatic damper system is maintenance-free and molded of durable impact polymer. Using a screwdriver, it installs in minutes. The homeowner goes on the roof once to install it, and never has to go there again.
