With summer in full swing, the question many home owners ask is; do radiant barriers actually work? The answer is yes; but not as well as advertised. A radiant correctly installed in an attic can reflect the radiant energy from the sun and help reduce the cooling load. Reducing the air conditioning costs by 0-10% is the most you can gain.
Insulation, air sealing, duct sealing and duct insulation are improvements that will help reduce the air conditioning costs and improve the comfort of the home.
