Hi, I’m Glenn and I’ve been installing roofing vents for over 10 years. The first thing to know is both the whirlybird and the solar vents will remove the Heat. On a 35 degrees day when I walk onto a roof and cut a hole, well the amount of heat that comes out is like a hair dryer, but the question is, what will works better! The whirlybird? Or the Solar vent? 

There strengths! Whirlybirds will works best on a windy day and the solar vents will work best on full sun which is on the hottest days.

Whirlybird Roof Vents 

Advantages for the Whirlybirds

  1. The Whirlybird will work 24 hours a Day and the solar ventilation will only work 10 hours per day.
  2. The Edmond’s Whirlybird comes with a 15 year warranty and solar vents only has a 5 year warranty.
  3. A Whirlybird will only cost you one third of the price as a solar vent.
  4. Whirlybirds  don’t make any noise! Unless there 20 years old and need to be replaced.
  5. Whirlybirds come in a range of colours, solar vents only come in Black.
  6. You will save money on the cost of air conditioning.

 

Disadvantages with the whirlybirds

  1. Whirlybirds need wind to work better and remove more heat
  2. Only takes out 300 to 500 cmh of air (Eco solar vent will take out 2800 cmh)
  3. 300 s/m roof you need 3 whirlybirds but only 1 solar vent (less holes)

Advantages for the Solar Fan 

  1. Solar vents take out up to 5 to 10 times more air then the whirlybird. (Eco brand)
  2. On the hottest days when there’s no wind! Full sun! The solar ventilation works 100%
  3. On flat roofs with no heat convection (heat rising) the solar vent will suck the heat out.
  4. Solar vents have a built in thermostat, so they turn off in winter. (keeps the Heat in)
  5. The Solar Fan is better value for money. Cost more but removes more heat.
  6. With the thermostat it uses the brush-less motor less, will last twice as long (15 – 20 years)
  7. Solar ventilation will save you money on the cost of air conditioning

Disadvantages with the solar vent

  1. The solar ventilation will make a little bit of noise. But the new 2020 motor has no sound. 
  2. Solar vents only have a 5 year warranty but should last around 15 years
  3. The Solar Fan cost 2 ,1/2  times the price
