Beat that nasty heat without cranking up the AC all summer long The majority of heat that enters your home comes through the roof. If your home has an attic, that heat tends to build up very quickly, often to an unbearable degree in the summer months, and that heat spreads throughout the rest of the home. And in those summer months, often homeowners are left with little recourse other than to rely heavily on air conditioning and/or central air. This, in turn, results in sky-high utility bills and a lot of frustration because it's still a struggle to beat that heat. This is doubly problematic. Decreases the temperature as well as those utility bills Installing Houseables' new radiant barrier foil along the rafters of your attic (or attic flooring) is a clever and cost effective way of combating the sweltering summer heat as well as those rising utility bills. When stapled to the underside of roof rafters (below insulation and never on top), our radiant foil reflects up to 97% of the radiant heat that strikes its surface. When that radiant heat is reflected, heat transfer is greatly reduced, so temperatures are naturally lowered. Some studies have shown that radiant barriers are effective enough to reduce overall cooling costs by 10%.
