Attic insulation
Attic insulation, for homes that have an attic.
In South Florida the sun heats the roof all day, and the attic passes that heat down to the rooms below. We install attic insulation in homes, because a hot attic and a hard-working air conditioner are usually the same conversation.
How blown-in insulation is installed
Why good attic insulation matters in South Florida
Cooler rooms under the roof
Insulation slows the heat coming down from the attic, so bedrooms and rooms under the roof stay more comfortable.
Less work for the air conditioner
With less heat coming through the ceiling, the system does not have to run as hard or as long to keep the house cool.
Electricity used more reasonably
An air conditioner that works less to hold the same temperature generally uses electricity more reasonably.
Even coverage
Blown-in insulation is spread across the attic floor with a hose, filling gaps and corners that thin or shifted insulation leaves open.
Homes
Tell us the city, the type of home, and whether you are replacing insulation, adding to it, or asking what the attic needs.
The insulation is blown in through a hose and spread evenly between the ceiling joists. The installer wears a respirator while working with the fiberglass.
Businesses
Many commercial buildings do not have a residential attic. If yours might, describe the roof and the space under it.
Installation and maintenance of the air conditioning are the commercial services to start with when the attic question does not apply.
What to include
- The kind of home
- Whether anyone has been in the attic recently
- Signs of heat in the rooms below
- Whether you also want the air conditioner looked at
