1.   I plan to put in a ridge vent and soffit vents to help cool the attic.

2.   Incidentally, all this work will also reduce your heating bills and make you more comfortable in the summer by cooling the attic.

3.   Is a ridge vent better than a powered vent to cool the attic?

4.   There are gable vents to cool the attic, but it still gets very hot on the second floor in summer.

5.   This moving air cools the attic in the summer and helps to prevent ice dams in the winter.
