If you’ve spent even one day in Texas during the month of August, you know just how hot our weather can be. And when you live in a city like Austin, where we get sunny days an average of 228 days per year, your air conditioning needs all the help it can get.
A radiant barrier is a form of insulation that prevents the transfer of energy or heat from the exterior of a home’s roof to the interior roof structure in the attic. Without a home radiant barrier insulation system, more heat gets into the home through the roof, forcing your air conditioner to work harder than necessary to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. The added roof insulation provided by a radiant barrier system will help you save a significant amount of money on your monthly electric bills and will help you reduce your carbon footprint.
Radiant barriers have become extremely popular in the warmest parts of the country, and especially Texas because they insulate a home‘s roof from the relentless sun and heat of the summer months. Not only can radiant barriers improve the energy efficiency of your home by lowering the temperature in the attic during the hotter months, but they can also offer insulating properties that reduce the cost of heating your home during the cooler months.
When selecting radiant barrier installation services, you want to make sure and find a professional company that uses only the best material – and will install radiant barrier the right way the first time.
