Is your energy bill out of control? Use Radiant Barrier Plus to reduce cooling costs by 30% or more!

Southern Comfort Home Improvements and Maintenance installs radiant barriers in homes—usually in attics—to reduce summer heat gain and lower cooling costs. Radiant barriers consist of a highly reflective material that reflects radiant heat rather than absorbing it. In fact, Radiant Barrier reflects up to 97% of this radiant energy, making your existing attic insulation more effective and keeping your home cooler and more energy-efficient.

Why Attic Insulation Matters in Florida

Proper attic insulation is one of the most important steps in improving your home’s energy efficiency. In Florida’s hot, humid climate, your attic can reach extreme temperatures, causing your air conditioner to work overtime. Our radiant barrier attic insulation helps stop that heat before it ever reaches your living space.

So how does it work? When the sun heats a roof, it’s primarily the sun’s radiant energy that makes the roof hot. Much of this heat travels by conduction through the roofing materials to the attic side of the roof. The hot roof material then radiates its gained heat energy onto the cooler attic surfaces, including the air ducts and the attic floor. A radiant barrier reduces this radiant heat transfer from the underside of the roof to the other surfaces in the attic. As a result, radiant barrier insulation can reduce heat transfer from attic to living space by up to 50%.
