Radiant Barrier
It won't be long before the Texas sun turns our Austin homes into energy-sucking sweat boxes. You can head off the discomfort and higher energy bills by installing a radiant barrier in your home before the heat hits. Our financing plans make it easy!
The reflective material works to effectively do just that—reflect the heat rather than absorbing it. Some studies have shown that a radiant barrier in your attic can help decrease your energy costs by up to 10%.
Attic Seal
Hot air rises. Without air-sealing your attic, you are allowing warm air to escape from your home carrying with it your hard-earned winter heating money. Most people just add insulation to their attic—this will not stop the escaping warm air. The EPA estimates that the typical American home has enough leaks, holes and gaps to be equal to an open window every day of the year. That is significant.
We need to seal the air in our conditioned living space from the unconditioned attic space. Every attic needs proper ventilation. We are not stopping the proper air exchange in the attic—we are only stopping the exchange between your Austin house and attic. A few common areas of your attic that may require special air-sealing attention include your chimney, around recessed lighting and ducts.
