So say you live in a cold climate where snow is common in the winter, and you are venting your 600W into your attic, are you worried? Anyone else do this?

the heat off 1x 600w into a attic should cause no problems with police heli's,

You think a 600w is enough to melt the snow on my roof? I would keep the house at 70 anyway..well, your neighbors might wonder why the snow always melts on your roof, and start asking how you do it

nah i dont think id worry. it may be a BIT warmer than the neighbors roof. its probly a considerable sized attic. the heat will spread before it goes out. one 600 watt probly wont heat the ENTIRE attic very much.
sorry for the issues.
I live where it snows and I had 4 6's exhausting into the attic and got split Joyce beams, sweating sap out of the roof's infrastructure and completely affecting the roofs integrity. Just run the exhaust outside for safe measures. Plus you WILL be the ONLY house with no snow on your roof.

Well I suppose you could cut a hole in your roof and install a vent, would look completely legit then, except there would always be a lot of heat coming from one vent on your roof....? I think I will go into attic for non-snow months, and back into house for snow months, saving on heating bills, and I can leave the window open to keep it COLD if I need it to be.

Can a proper excuse not be, keeping it really warm in the house in the winter, with good insulation, and ventilation to the attic? (for the roof being melted)
