Benefits of installing a radiant barrier in your attic

Reduced Energy Usage, Lower Utility Bills.
Since traditional insulation does not prevent transfer of radiant heat, once the insulation has absorbed the maximum amount of heat, the heat is transferred to the space around it and eventually into the living spaces below. Easy to install radiant barrier foil (metalized film) like Enerflex can block up to 97% of the suns radiant heat absorbed through your roof surface, resulting in a 30-degree reduction in attic temperature and big time energy savings. See this short video clip on how to reduce utility bills by installing Enerflex Radiant Barrier attic foil.

Because warm air rises, radiant barrier foil installed in your attic will also prevent heat from escaping. Enerflex Radiant Barrier Foil helps extend the life of HVAC unitsThis will save on heating costs in the cold season and provide a more consistent and comfortable indoor temperature. See how Enerflex works.

Extend the Life of A/C Units.
In addition to energy savings, another significant benefit of installing a radiant foil barrier in your attic is by reducing wear a tear in your air conditioning unit and furnace. By installing radiant barrier attic foil you can help reduce repair and replacement costs and possibly extend the life of both your heating and cooling units.

See the Enerflex YouTube Channel for additional videos on how radiant barriers can help control energy costs.
