Every year, Florida homeowners are throwing away thousands of dollars on unnecessary cooling and heating costs caused by faulty attic insulation! In fact, the lack of proper roofing insulation and ventilation can lead to temperature spikes of up to 25%. This increase in the ambient temperature inside your home causes your air conditioning system to compensate for the excess heat – forcing it to work twice as hard and consume more energy.

Given Florida’s harsh, subtropical climate, your home is exposed to considerable heat from the sun. This accounts for much of the heat you experience indoors. Unfortunately, regular attic insulation alone cannot completely prevent heat from being transferred into your living space. A significant amount of heat is bound to reach your home.

The type of insulation you need is based upon what you already have and your budget. Fiberglass attic insulation is a tried and true solution that you most likely have in your attic already. However, over time, it settles and its efficiency diminishes. In this case, depending on the condition of the existing insulation, we could blow 14-18 inches of fiberglass insulation over the old and returning your home to better energy efficiency.

Blocking the harsh ray’s of the sun has always been an issue especially for those residing in the Florida area. We are no strangers to the summers where you feel exhausted from being outside for only a few minutes.
