My one story house is probably 1600-1700sq ft. I have 11soffit vents(8x16) total but don't know for sure how many is blocked by insulation or not. The only exhaust I have is about 20ft max ridge vent. Which is not enough in both intake and exhaust. I should have 15-16 soffits if I did my calculations right. I have high and low ceilings. So trying to see if my soffit vents are clogged is hard once I am in the attic. I was thinking of taking the soffit vents off but they are stapled under the eaves. I left my thermometer to see what my attic temperature is. At 101 degrees outside temp, my attic is at 130 degrees. With the a/c running 90% of the day, inside my house is 90 degrees. What do I need to do? I was thinking about blocking off the ridge vent and adding two wind turbines.
The little squares around the house are soffit vents. Thick black line is ridge vent.
