High Energy Bills This August

By Thomas Decker
Owner, Attic Innovations


Whew! What a week. I apologize for missing last week, but it couldn't be helped. I took the family to San Antonio for a Summer Vacation and boy was it HOT! Are we all enjoying this heat yet? I know I'm not, and let me tell you what is going on in your home if it isn't energy efficient:

1. Your attic is on fire! Not literally, obviously, but it will feel like it. And the hotter your attic, the more your air conditioner must work to cool the rest of your home. This is because heat from your attic sits right on top of your ceiling, and will heat your living space as well.

2. Your A/C is begging for a break! When temperatures are this hot and your home is not energy efficient, your A/C will seem to run all the time... That's because it is! If your home is allowing in too much heat then each time your A/C shuts off your home will immediately become hot and your A/C will turn right back on.

3. Your wallet is asking, "what the heck is going on?" When your A/C runs all the time, your money runs right out of your wallet. It costs a lot of money to have air conditioning running at all times. 

So, what can you do? Call Attic Innovations for an Energy Analysis! It's free and we NEVER try to sell you something you don't need. We will simply go over the major points of energy efficiency and see how your home stacks ups. Then we'll make recommendations as to what will help you make your home energy efficient and more comfortable. All the things mentioned above will benefit from insulation, radiant barrier, attic ventilation, or energy efficient windows. But not all homes need all those things. Call an expert and get your home where it needs to be to stay comfortable and save some money this Summer. 936-442-8926
