Attic too hot in summer — Rotterdam, Zuid-Holland
An attic that reaches 140–160°F in summer can radiate heat into living spaces, overwork your AC, and shorten roof shingle life. Poor ventilation is the primary cause — soffit vents may be blocked by insulation, ridge vents may be missing, or the attic may lack sufficient exhaust capacity. An HVAC technician or roofer can evaluate ventilation, add powered or passive vents, and improve insulation to reduce heat transfer.
