I just had a metal roof installed and my contractor installed the attic fan on top of the metal,is this the proper way to install?The meatl was put over shingles and the instructions of the fan said it should be installed under the shingles does this also apply for metal roofs? should the fan have been installed under the metal ?

My guess is that this may be okay. You know what would really help though? Can you email to me photos of what was done please? [email protected] Todd Miller

Wow. I did not realize how large the fan was. I am assuming he's used some sealant around the actual penetration area? The flashing should ideally be worked under the panels. Contact the roofing manufacturer -- they should have details on how to do this. Todd Miller
