Location: Speedway, Indiana
Service: Solar-Powered Attic Fan Installation
Customer Need: Attic ventilation solution with no existing attic electricity
Beeson Mechanical Team: Steve Malander, Kent Beeson, and installation support team
Project Overview
A homeowner in Speedway, IN needed an attic fan installed to help improve attic ventilation and support better comfort in the home. Before calling Beeson Mechanical, the homeowner had already spoken with a few other companies. Those companies said the job could not be done because of the roof pitch and the lack of electricity in the attic.
Instead of stopping there, Beeson Mechanical took a closer look at the home, the installation challenges, and the options available. After reviewing the situation, the team recommended a solar-powered attic fan, which allowed the homeowner to get the ventilation solution they needed without running new electrical service into the attic.
The Challenge
This project had two main concerns.
First, the home’s roof pitch made other contractors hesitant to take on the work. A steep or difficult roof can make attic fan installation more involved, especially when safe access and proper placement need to be carefully considered.
Second, there was no existing electricity in the attic. For a traditional powered attic fan, that could create added electrical work, more complexity, and a higher project cost.
The homeowner wanted a practical solution, but they also wanted to work with a company that would communicate clearly and not dismiss the project too quickly.
The Beeson Mechanical Solution
Steve Malander worked directly with the homeowner to review the project and find an option that made sense for the home and budget. A solar-powered attic fan became the right fit because it addressed the attic ventilation need without requiring electrical wiring in the attic.
Beeson Mechanical also worked with the homeowner on the estimate, helping reduce the project cost and applying a military discount for additional savings.
Weather created another challenge. Rain delayed the installation, which understandably caused frustration for the homeowner. Throughout the delay, Steve stayed in communication and reassured the homeowner that the project would be completed properly once conditions allowed.
When the weather cleared, Kent Beeson came out personally to complete the installation with help from two interns. The team handled the job professionally and left the homeowner with a working attic ventilation solution where other companies had said no.
The Result
The homeowner received a completed solar-powered attic fan installation despite the roof pitch, lack of attic electricity, and weather delays.
Just as important, they felt supported throughout the process. From the initial conversation to the final installation, Beeson Mechanical provided clear communication, practical problem-solving, and follow-through.
The homeowner shared that they had a very good experience and would call Beeson Mechanical again for future work.
Customer Feedback
“Had a very good experience with Beeson. I needed an attic fan put in, and after being told by a few other companies they couldn’t do it because of the pitch of my roof or no electricity in the attic, I chose Beeson.”
The homeowner also noted Steve’s helpful communication, the military discount, and Kent’s involvement in completing the job.
Why This Project Matters
Attic ventilation can play an important role in home comfort, especially during warm Indiana weather. When hot air builds up in the attic, it can affect indoor comfort and make cooling systems work harder than they should.
This project is a good example of why proper evaluation matters. A difficult roof pitch or lack of attic electricity does not always mean there is no solution. Sometimes, the right answer is finding a better-fit option for the home.
For this homeowner, that solution was a solar-powered attic fan installed by a team willing to look beyond the obvious obstacles.
