High power bills
The massive heat load in your attic pours down into your living space and overworks your A/C, running up your power bill.
Why is your attic 147°?
Save your home from high power bills, dirty air, and rooms that are just too hot.

Every house has the same design flaw
Three traditional home problems
Dirty, contaminated air
Stagnant attic air carries pollen, bacteria and dust that can leak into your A/C ducts and compromise the air in your home.
Hot rooms
Upstairs bedrooms stay hot and stuffy, nobody sleeps well, and the thermostat wars never end, because the A/C just can’t keep up.
Have you ever wondered why?
Have you ever wondered why the air conditioning ducts feeding the vents in your home are in the attic? It’s counterintuitive to put a cooling delivery system in the hottest part of your home, where temperatures reach 147°.
That’s a system designed to blow 53° cold air through an attic that has become a 147° sauna. It was a cost-saving design for the builder. Now you bear the burden: a building flaw that costs you money, comfort and even your health.
Have you ever turned on your air conditioning and wondered if you accidentally turned on the heater instead? If the answer is yes, your attic is the problem.
On a summer day, your roof’s surface can reach 170–220°. That heat conducts through the shingles and radiates across the attic, cooking your shingles and ductwork. Traditional vents are passive: ridge vents, box vents and turbines just wait for the wind.

The solution is cool air INTAKE, mixed with turbulent flow
How The Air Tornado works
One permanent solution: power intake ventilation. Cool air in, hot air out. At the heart of the system is the Attic Torpedo, and every system uses at least two of them.
-
1
Intake
Each Attic Torpedo sits down at the eaves and pulls fresh outside air in through your soffit vents, along its flex duct, and fires it into the attic like a cannon.
-
2
Turbulence
Two Attic Torpedoes, one at each end of the attic, aim at each other. The conflicting air currents collide in the middle and create turbulent, positive air pressure, a vortex effect that disrupts the static heat load.
-
3
Exhaust
The pressure forces the hot, humid, contaminated air out through your existing ridge and roof vents, and keeps your conditioned air down in your living space, where it belongs.
It’s an A/C super booster
Unlike exhaust fans, which create negative pressure that can suck the cool air out of your home, the Attic Torpedo creates positive pressure. The turbulent intake air cools your attic, cools down your air ducts and cools off your hot roofing system.
The air blows out of a 12-inch mouth at the end of a cone-shaped portal and stirs the whole attic. That can pressurize the attic in under 2 minutes and force the hot, humid, contaminated air out of your existing vents in under 10.
It works all by itself: a hands-free digital thermostat turns it on when the attic gets hot and off when it’s cool, holding your attic at an average of about 110°. An attic temperature sensor and wireless remote display let you adjust the set point and monitor your attic temperature.
Real attic, real readings
The proof is in the attic
- 88° outside On an average summer day it’s 88° outside and about 147° in a traditional attic.
- ~91° in The Attic Torpedo blows about 91° air into your attic.
- ~110° attic The thermostat holds the attic at an average of about 110°, nearly 40° cooler than 147°.

Actual Attic Torpedo installations
A cool, fresh attic is a cooler, fresher home
What homeowners get
Cooler home
Your home temperature can drop up to 10 degrees. No more hot bedrooms, and no more complaining.
Colder A/C air
Your air conditioning can blow up to 7° colder once it isn’t fighting a 147° attic.
Savings a year*
Lower power bills and less A/C run time. In some cases it can pay for itself in less than 24 months.
Healthier home
The heat, humidity and contaminated air get evacuated. Fewer allergy triggers, less dust and longer-lasting filters.
Happy sleepers make happy risers!
A cooler, fresher home full of comfortable people who aren’t complaining that they can’t sleep at night.
Less wear and tear
Lower attic temperatures mean less heat punishment for your shingles and underlayment, and your A/C can cycle properly and operate within its design parameters.
*Results vary. Savings figures are reported by homeowners and depend on your home, your A/C system and your utility rates.

Real homeowner testimonials
Homeowners in their own words
These stories and videos were first published on theattictorpedo.com.
“My upstairs bedroom is incredibly hot. After the installation of the Attic Torpedo now it’s cold. The installation of the Attic Torpedo dramatically dropped my power bill by $125 a month, about $1,500 a year. I would recommend this to anyone, it’s well worth the investment.”
“Before the Attic Torpedo our AC was running all day and night. It was very uncomfortable to sleep because our upstairs bedroom was hot and stuffy. We needed another window AC unit and run fans at night.”
“We were skeptical at first but after the installation of the Attic Torpedo we were able to maintain our house temperature in the 70’s for the first time ever AND we cut our power bill in half. Amazing!”
“After the installation of the Attic Torpedo my attic is not hot anymore ... it’s about the same temperature as the outside. I’m saving on my power bill, the air quality is better and the AC does not work as hard as it used to. It was a great investment for my home.”

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between The Air Tornado and the Attic Torpedo?
The Air Tornado Home Cooling System is the whole system. The Attic Torpedo is the unit at its heart. Every Air Tornado system uses at least two Attic Torpedoes.
How does it cool my home?
It uses power intake ventilation: cool outside air in, hot air out. The Attic Torpedoes pull fresh air in through your soffit vents and blow it into the attic at high volume and high speed. The colliding air currents create turbulence and positive pressure that push the heat, humidity and contaminated air out through your existing vents. With a cooler attic, your A/C and ducts don’t fight a 147° heat load.
How is this different from an attic exhaust fan or turbine?
Ridge vents, box vents and turbines are passive and wait for the wind. Exhaust fans pull air out and create negative pressure. The Attic Torpedo pushes cool air in, creating positive pressure that keeps your conditioned air down in your living space. In RTA field readings, attics with ridge vents ran 147°, box vents 155°, turbines 140° and power exhaust fans about 137°, compared with about 110° with The Air Tornado.
Does installation cut holes in my roof?
No. There are no roof cuts, no roof penetrations and no power tools. It uses your existing soffit and roof vents. One installer can set it up in about an hour.
Does it run all the time?
No. A hands-free digital thermostat turns it on when the attic gets hot and off when it’s cool, holding an average of about 110°. A wireless remote display lets you adjust the set point and monitor your attic temperature.
What does it plug into?
Each Attic Torpedo plugs into a standard 120-volt outlet.
How much can I save?
Homeowners report savings of up to $1,500 a year, and in some cases the system can pay for itself in less than 24 months. Results vary with your home, A/C system and utility rates.
