Saving with reflective building insulation

 

From the high price of staying cool in Dallas and Phoenix, to the wintertime burden of keeping warm in Chicago and Minneapolis, American budgets are strained by energy costs. You have already replaced your old windows with double-pane thermal glass. You have upgraded the quantity of insulating material in your attic and have purchased a high-efficiency heating, ventilating, and air conditioning system. Still, your energy bills are higher than you would like. Is there anything else that can be done? Certainly. With radiant barrier insulation from RadiantGUARD.com, you can save even more money. Even if you have existing mass insulation, the addition of a radiant barrier can make a noticeable difference in energy efficiency, which will translate to real savings for you. And because installing reflective building insulation in an attic area is easy, you can do it yourself as a weekend task for relatively little cost.
 

Practicality of radiant barrier insulation

Reflective building insulation has a number of practical applications that can save homeowners bundles of money:

• as a covering for windows that receive too much sun exposure
• to prevent hot and cool air loss from heating and air conditioning duct work
• as an add-on in the attic, over mass insulating materials or attached to the rafters
• to increase the efficiency of hot water heaters and water pipes
• as a vapor barrier and insulating layer beneath concrete flooring
• to produce maximum efficiency in a radiant heating system
