Properly  insulate  the  area  around  thefan  to  minimize  building  heat  loss  and gain.  (Fig.13)
Loose  f ill  or  batt  insulation  can  be placed  directly  over  the  fan  housing  in the  attic.  Our  fans  and  f an/ light combinat ion  units  do  not  creat e excessive  heat  that  is  a  common problem  with  recessed  light  fixtures  orsome  competit or ’s  fan/light combinat ion.  Our  eff icient,  cool-runningmotors  and  our  fluorescent  lamps  do not  create  enough  ambient  heat  to  besubjected  to  these  limit ations.
