Radiant Barrier Insulation for Southern California Homes

Do you need to insulate your attic? An improperly insulated attic can easily debunk your efforts to make your home more energy efficient. All that hot air will rise and leak right out of your home, and during the summer, the sun’s energy will be better absorbed, making your home much warmer.

Insulation is a great solution for maximizing energy efficient. One of the most efficient ways to keep your attic properly sealed is by insulating it with radiant barrier. Radiant barrier insulation is very effective in reflecting sunlight away from your home, so your attic (and therefore, the rest of your home) can stay comfortable, year in and year out.

Benefits of Radiant Barrier Insulation

Installing radiant barrier in your attic can:

• Reduce heat transfer into your attic by up to 97%
• Result in A/C savings of up to 12%
• Reduce attic temperatures by up to 30 degrees
• Increase attic insulation efficiency
• Increase A/C efficiency
