Category: Insulation - Topic: During Hot Summer Months Temperatures In Your Attic Can Reach Up To 160 Degrees
During hot summer months temperatures in your attic can reach up to 160 degrees. Excess heat trapped in the enclosed space seeps into the rest of your house, spiking your utility bills. In the winter, trapped cool air can cause moisture to build up on the interior of the roof, causing structure problems like mildew, mold, wood rot, warped beams and floorboards. The high cost of energy keeps heating or cooling your attic from being a practical option. The most efficient answer is to install ventilation and insulation systems that will lower utility costs and prevent leaks and the deterioration of your stored possessions. The good news? Most passive venting systems are cheap and easy to maintain.
