The bad part is that heat isn’t just staying in the attic – it’s costing you money by making your AC system work even harder! There are ways to cool things down and may surprise you.
Old Homes and New Homes Face Issues with Hot Attics
Venting Fans
Adding Powered or Solar Powered Fans that pull hot air out of your attic and vent it to the outside a viable solution.
Adding Insulation
Many older homes and some newer homes lack adequate insulation in the attic space. Spray foam, cullulose, or traditional insulation with a high R value help shield your attic from the heat on the roof and protect the living space below your attic from getting hotter.
Radiant Barriers
Radiant Barriers - usually an aluminum foil type material reflect sunlight out of your attic to help the space remain cooler.
