Located at the lowest part of the roof, soffit vents allow cooler air to enter the attic space; Since hot air rises and it exhausts through the ridge vents, the negative pressure thus created in the attic pulls in the cold air from the outside through the soffit. Attic fans mostly move air outward, from the attic's interior to the outdoors. Not ideal for all roof types: Roof ridge vents and attic fans both promote airflow in attics. Many times vents are painted over, insulation covers soffit venting in attic, and the ridge vent is obstructed by roofing felt. The arguments against the energy efficiency of attic fans may be countered with the use of solar attic fans or even turbine attic fans.

Most effective when used with a ridge vent; Running the length of the home, soffit vents allow for more air circulation than gable vents which are only on the ends of the attic.
