Save Yourself the Headaches with Installing Attic Insulation
Did you know that installing attic insulation is one of the best ways to make a big impact on your utility bills during the dog days of summer? You better believe it.
The hot Texas sun is brutal during certain months of the year and you need all the protection you can get between you and the heat it produces.
Radiant barrier insulation, in particular, in the attic serves as a double layer of protection between the environment inside your home and the heat bearing down from above.
Extend the Life of Your Roof with New Insulation
Many people have noted in the past that excess temperatures from outside the home and inside the attic often serve to wear down roofing shingles more quickly than warranties suggest.
If you are concerned that radiant barriers may contribute to this wearing of shingles, don't. You will be glad to note that it has actually been tested and proven to lower the attic temperature and is actually believed to prolong (to some degree) the lifespan of shingles.
Installing any insulation is tricky in most homes and a job that is best left to professionals. You are making an investment in the comfort and energy efficiency of your home. It would be a shame to let the financial and work effort go to waste because you installed the insulation in a manner that might prove less effective, if not ineffective all together.
