Found yourself wondering lately why it has become so hard to cool down your house or warm it? Have you called a professional to check the air conditioning system at your home but they found nothing wrong with it? If this is a problem that starts repeating itself, you might want to consider calling professionals to check your attic's insulation, because if it is not installed properly or if there any radiant barriers installed, it just might be the cause for your problems. Here's why and what to do with it.
Unsealed Attic
When your house doesn't have thermal insulation, it allows heat transfer, meaning cold air entering in the winter (and warm air entering at summer), and as you try to warm up your house, the warm air escapes through the ceiling (warm air goes up), leaving you with not only a constantly cold home during winter, but also with high electricity bills as your air conditioning system will be working overtime without effect. By installing new insulation, you will ensure the sealing of the attic, which will allow you to air condition your house much faster, easier and for cheaper costs. All of which might sound complicated, but it's not.
How Does it Work?
Quite simply actually, made of special, heat deflecting materials, the radiant barrier serves as a wall between your house and the outside environment. When heat from outside tries to get in it will be deflected back outside by your new radiant barrier, and vice versa, when heat from the inside tries to get out, it will be deflected inwards and stay within the house.
