Hi,
Recently I had a new roof put on my 33 year old house. When the house was built there were no soffits and the only ventilation for the roof were quite small end gable vents. To correct this problem I had DCI smart vent installed along with crown vents.
During a discussion with a roofer who was doing a house across the street he suggested that I should seal the gable vents and rely only on the DCI smart vents and the crown vents for all the ventilation.
Is he right? Should I seal the gable vents? Given their size it would not be all that hard to do.
I've done some internet searching but I have not found any answers to this?
I would appreciate any thoughts any one has.
Thanks in advance
