Press Release: Battic Door Introduces Energy-Saving Whole House Fan Covers


Mansfield, MA - Battic Door, the leading manufacturer of attic stair covers, introduces a new line of Whole House Fan Covers, with prices starting at $29.50.

Battic Door, the leading manufacturer of attic stair covers, introduces a new line of Whole House Fan Covers. 

With several sizes available to fit most any whole house fan, each kit includes a foam pad and Velcro - trim to fit. 

"Our new line of whole house fan covers compliment our highly successful energy-saving, R-50, attic stair covers" stated Mark D. Tyrol, President of Battic Door. 

"Designed for the home owner and do-it-yourselfer to the weatherization professional, our whole house fan covers have been engineered to quickly and easily cover and provide an air seal for what amounts to a large hole between the conditioned house and the unconditioned attic", explained Tyrol.

Attic stairs and whole house fans increase energy costs due to heat loss and drafts. They are not insulated or weatherstripped, and are like leaving a window open all winter long. These often overlooked sources of wasted energy are easily corrected by adding a weatherstripped cover over them.

"Our attic stair covers have really taken off with homeowners and contractors, and it was a no-brainer to bring these to market as quickly as we could" continued Tyrol. 

"Our customers love these kits, as they are so easy to install and you get an immediate payback in energy savings and improved comfort. Plus, by stopping a major source of air leaks, attic mold and ice dams can be avoided."

To maximize the benefits, Tyrol suggests adding the desired level of insulation to the covers. "That way you are able to restore the insulation removed from the ceiling when the attic stairs or whole house fan was installed".

Available from Battic Door, whole house fan covers start at $29.50 each, and contractor discounts are available. Visit www.batticdoor.com for more information and to order.

	We could all agree that home heating costs are going straight up.  Which is why keeping that expensive warm air inside is very important.  When chimney's are not in use that expensive heat is escaping straight up them.
One would think closing the damper would be enough to keep cold air out and warm air in, but not necessarily so.
	A solution to this problem is the fireplace plug.  It is like a plastic inflatable pillow for your chimney.
To install it, you partially inflate it with the breathing tube...
	...then slip it up into the top of the firebox...
...and lock it in place.
	Finally, finish inflating the plug and tuck the tube out of sight.
Some heating experts claim that an unlit fireplace with a damper open can increase heating costs by as much as 30 percent. Now that could add up to $500 over the course of a season. Well, here's a solution that's relatively inexpensive, easy to install and pretty much invisible.
