In reading the posts about attic ventilation I have become somewhat confused. I have a 7 year old 1800sf ranch style house I built from the ground. The house is 62 feet long. The roof is stepped 3 times with a total of 50 feet of shingle over ridge vent. I have vinyl soffit with continuous vent, and I have gable vents 6" from the bottom of the ridge board. The attic is one big open area. On say a 95 degree day it will easily reach 150 degrees up there. MY QUESTION! Will a power vent help? Do i need to eliminate gable vents? What can I do to get the temp down.
p.s. The shingles are dark green.
Any replies will be greatly appreciated.
