Attic Insulation in Arlington, Texas
Ensuring Your Home Stays In Good Condition
Homes are made up of numerous components. Each one does its job to maintain structural integrity, improve safety and functionality, or foster efficiency. At the same time, they all work in tandem to meet the needs of the home’s occupants. One of the most important elements of a home is its building envelope. The building envelope is essentially made up of all the parts that keep the interior of the home separated from the exterior. Though it’s made up of a long list of components in its own right, a couple of the most crucial are the attic insulation and the radiant barrier.

At Milestone, we’re experts in improving efficiency, comfort, indoor air quality, and other essential aspects for Arlington homeowners. We know how important it is to reduce the amount of energy your home consumes without sacrificing comfort.

Contact us to learn more or schedule a consultation.
Why Is Attic Insulation So Important?
Ongoing studies show that heating and air conditioning are the primary sources of energy consumption in most homes. Research also indicates that a great deal of the energy used to power HVAC systems is wasted due to heat exchange through the attic because the majority of homes in American don’t have enough attic insulation in place. Having a properly insulated attic greatly reduces heat exchange and the resulting loss of efficiency. In turn, it’ll go a long way toward lowering energy bills and increasing interior comfort levels.
As the insulation in your attic keeps the air from simply flowing outside through the roof, it’ll keep your HVAC system from having to work as hard as it would otherwise. This greatly reduces the amount of wear and tear on the system, so you won’t have to worry about unnecessary repairs and untimely replacement. In addition to those benefits, having adequate insulation in your attic will aid in improving indoor air quality. Attic insulation helps keep out many of the common contaminants that pollute the air in homes.
What Is a Radiant Barrier and What Does It Do to Help?
In areas like Arlington, simply having the right type of attic insulation in place isn’t always enough. A radiant barrier basically serves as a backup for the insulation. It’s made of reflective materials that prevent the sun’s heat from penetrating the roof and the attic. It also keeps the precious cool air from your air conditioning system inside where it belongs. The bigger the temperature difference between the outdoors and the interior of your home, the harder the radiant barrier will work to keep your home cool and comfortable.
Several types of radiant barriers are available. They’re made of a variety of materials with some being sturdier and more durable than others. In some cases, radiant barriers are added to certain types of insulation to create a combined line of defense against heat exchange. Other times, the two components are installed as separate systems. The right option for your home depends on a number of factors. Our expert Technicians can assess your specific needs to determine which type of radiant barrier would be best.

Ramping up Your Home's Defenses
Radiant barriers effectively prevent heat transfer to keep your home cooler during the sweltering summer months. Insulation also deters heat exchange while blocking certain indoor air contaminants. When combined, these two components take your home’s defense system to an entirely new level. They’ll greatly reduce the amount of heat and humidity invading your home, keep energy bills at a minimum, and extend the lifespan of your HVAC system among other benefits.
