Shocking Electric Solutions, Inc. installs, wires, repairs, and replaces attic exhaust fans for homes in Newnan, GA and across Coweta County. Georgia summers push attic temperatures well above the outdoor air, and a correctly wired attic fan helps move that heat out. Whether you want a new gable fan, a roof-mounted power vent, a replacement for a fan that quit, or a thermostat that actually works, our licensed electricians handle the electrical side safely and to code.

Signs Your Attic Fan Needs Attention
- The fan does not come on during hot afternoons
- The fan runs constantly, even on cool days, which usually points to a stuck thermostat
- Grinding, squealing, or rattling from the attic
- The breaker for the fan trips
- Scorched or brittle wiring, or connections taped together without a junction box
- Rooms on the top floor stay noticeably hotter than they used to
Wiring in an attic takes a beating from heat. If you notice a burning smell or see scorched wiring, turn the fan off at the breaker and call us. See our burning smell guide for more safety steps.
How We Install an Attic Fan
- We check the attic: existing venting, available space, roof or gable location, and where power can come from
- We confirm the circuit can carry the fan, or run a new circuit from the panel if needed
- We mount the fan or work alongside your roofer for roof-mounted units, so the roof penetration stays weather-tight
- We wire the fan and controls in approved boxes, with a disconnect where required
- We test the thermostat setting and fan operation before we leave
We look at intake ventilation, too. A powered attic fan needs enough soffit or other intake vents to pull from. Without them, it can draw air from the living space below. If your attic is short on intake, we tell you up front instead of installing a fan that will not help.
Attic Fans, Solar Fans, and Whole-House Fans
Hard-wired electric attic fans run from your home’s power and are controlled by a thermostat or switch. Solar attic fans have their own panel and do not tie into house wiring, which keeps installation simple, but they move less air on cloudy days. Whole-house fans are a different tool: they pull cooler evening air through open windows and push it out through the attic. We will explain the trade-offs for your home and install the option that fits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an electrician to install an attic fan?
A gable or roof-mounted attic fan is a permanently wired appliance, so it needs a proper circuit, a disconnect where required, and connections made in an approved box. A licensed electrician makes sure the wiring, thermostat, and protection are correct. Solar-only fans have no house wiring, but we can still check the mounting and any thermostat or switch.
Why is my attic fan not turning on?
Common causes are a tripped breaker, a failed thermostat or humidistat, a burned-out motor, a seized bearing, or a loose connection. We test power at the fan and controls to pin down which part failed before recommending repair or replacement.
Can you add a switch or thermostat control to my attic fan?
Yes. Most attic fans run on a built-in thermostat, but we can add an adjustable thermostat or humidistat, or a wall control so you can switch the fan on and off from inside the house.
Will an attic fan help my air conditioner?
It can lower attic temperatures, but results depend on your attic. A powered fan needs enough intake vents at the soffits; otherwise it can pull conditioned air out of the house through ceiling gaps. We look at your venting before recommending one.
Do you replace an old noisy attic fan?
Yes. We remove the old unit, check the existing wiring and circuit, and install a replacement fan, reusing the wiring only when it is in good shape.
Is a whole-house fan the same as an attic fan?
No. An attic fan vents hot air out of the attic only. A whole-house fan pulls air from the living space up through the attic and out, and is used with windows open. Both need correct wiring, and we can install either.
