Stop Attic Hot Spots

If you’re experiencing uneven attic insulation throughout your home or dramatic spikes in your electric bill during summer, the problem may lie in a hot attic. Without proper ventilation and insulation, attics turn into ovens, raising indoor temperatures and forcing your air conditioning into overdrive. This constant battle with the laws of thermodynamics results in energy waste, discomfort and higher bills.

Luckily, a few simple steps can help you fight attic heat spots and reclaim your cool. Start by inspecting your insulation for gaps and leaks that allow warm air to enter living spaces. Use caulk for small cracks and areas around recessed lighting fixtures and attic hatches, and install a reflective barrier like EcoFoil’s perforated radiant barrier to reduce both conductive and radiant heat transfer into your home.
