Attic Breeze solar attic fans are engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions and offer decades of durability. Performance tested to intense wind load pressures, our solar attic fans are rated for hurricane force winds of over 170 MPH (Category 5 conditions). Our products are third-party tested and certified for both Florida Building Code and Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) windstorm approval standards. While not all states require this degree of windstorm protection, there are certain areas along the Gulf Coast that do have standardized product certification requirements. If you live in one of these areas listed below, please read the appropriate section for more information. And remember, when it comes to your roof, don't settle for cheaply made foreign products just to save a few bucks. Choose Attic Breeze... real world tested and contractor approved for dependability you can trust.
The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) requires that all products which are installed fastened to a roof within the thirteen county Texas Gulf Coast Windstorm Region be independently tested and windstorm certified. Attic Breeze SFA and SFD model solar attic fans are Texas windstorm approved (Texas Department of Insurance Product Approval #RV-59) and meet TDI Building Code requirements for the Texas Gulf Coast Windstorm Region. Attic Breeze GM and WM model solar attic fans are also approved for this region since they do not require roof penetration (i.e. windstorm product approval is not needed).
The State of Florida requires that all products which are installed fastened to a roof be independently tested and windstorm certified to Florida Building Code (FBC) standards (excluding Dade and Broward counties). Attic Breeze SFA, SFD, CMA, and CMD model solar attic fans are Florida windstorm approved (Florida Product Approvals #13339.1 - #13339.4) and meet all statewide Florida Building Code requirements. Attic Breeze GM and WM model solar attic fans are also approved for this region since they do not require roof penetration (i.e. windstorm product approval is not needed).
The City of Miami (including Dade and Broward counties) does not participate in the Florida Building Code product certification process, choosing instead to require their own separate product certification system. Unfortunately, Miami-Dade windstorm certification only applies to Dade and Broward counties and nowhere else in the country. Due to the lack of applicability to other areas and the annual expenses associated with the certification process, Attic Breeze does not participate in Miami-Dade (NOA) product certification. Please note that Attic Breeze GM and WM model solar attic fans are approved for this region since they do not require roof penetration (i.e. windstorm product approval is not needed).
