 Tip #1
Minimize ceiling and attic heat retention during summer.
As much as 83% of heat gain in the summer takes place through the ceiling and roof. Reflective insulation reflects the sun’s heat before it can penetrate your home. You use less air conditioning to keep your home comfortable all summer long. According to the Department of Energy, homeowners can expect up to 17% cooling savings depending on climate, current amount of insulation in the attic, and household energy use. Many Georgia Energy Audits customers claim to have seen even higher results, but these results have not been scientifically verified by a 3rd party.
