The hotter it gets outside, the harder your cooling system will have to work to maintain a cool temperature inside the house. This can hike up your energy bills which are the last thing you want. Fortunately for you, you can easily install attic radiant barriers in your home to check the amount of heat radiated into the house from the sun. Radiant barriers are one of the best cost-saving and energy-efficient ways of keeping the heat away from your home. So, if you need radiant barrier installation service, just call Evergreen Attic Insulation and we will happily help you protect your home from the scorching sun.
There are three methods of heat transfer from the sun – radiation, conduction, and convection. Radiant barriers are used to block out heat transfer using radiation. The heat from radiation also known as radiation heat travels through space as electromagnetic waves. These electromagnetic waves carry electromagnetic radiant energy which can enter your attic and home when the sun hits the roof. Attic radiant barrier insulation creates a protective layer on the roof using reflective materials typically made out of foil to prevent the radiant heat from penetrating the roof and getting into your home. A radiant barrier is installed by binding the protective material to the underside of the roof in the attic.
If you live in the hotter climates and you tend to spend a lot of money on energy bills due to enormous air conditioning costs, then you might want to get a radiant barrier installed in your home. Our technicians can install the protective layer in both old and new properties to prevent radiant energy from reaching your air ducts and attic floor. Evergreen Attic Insulation is well equipped to handle your radiant barrier installation and save you from unnecessarily high electricity bills.
