Anyone here have a radiant barrier in their attic? Down here in Texas, commercials for radiant barriers are on all the time. I think a radiant barrier is some kind of paint applied to the inside of your attic roof, and it's supposed to "keep out 80% of the sun's radiant heat!" This, in turn, keeps your attic cooler which theoretically means your house stays cooler. Your A/C works less, so you allegedly save huge jack on your energy bill.
Anyone here have this stuff? Does it work? Was it worth the money? Thanks. | |

But it was always cold during summer....I would turn the AC off and he never noticed when I did. [Edited 4/30/10 7:54am] "Nobody makes me bleed my own blood...NOBODY!"

NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS No, I didn't say "rodent" I said "radiant". 
BTW, no one has a nicer attic than me. Fortunately we have no rodents but if we did, they'd be in rodent heaven up there. But then they'd end up in real Rodent Heaven. | |
