My roofer is recommending a ridge vent with my roof replacement next week. However, I have heating, hot and cold water pipes running the length of my attic to a bathroom (former screened porch) at the opposite end of my ranch house from by boiler (in the garage). The house is on a slab with radiant heat in everything except that bathroom, hence the heat, hot and cold water pipes running through the attic. Will a ridge vent cause much colder air in the attic so that my pipes are at a greater risk of freezing during our Connecticut winters? I worry about them every winter as it is and I surely do not want burst pipes. Anyone?
