A vented roof is both good and bad. The good is that it helps move hot air out of the attic and adds to the life of the roof. The bad is that if there was a fire the roof will go much quicker.
My house came standard with a vented roof (continuous ridge vent). I added an electric roof ventilator which works off a thermostat. This has helped keep the upstairs much cooler in the summer heat. Before I installed the roof ventilator, the upstairs ceiling acted like a radiant floor (ceiling) heater. I would not add an electric roof ventilator unless there was proper soffit venting.
