Cool your attic by combining better ventilation, more insulation, and (where appropriate) a radiant barrier. Adding ridge and soffit ventilation lets hot air escape; an attic fan accelerates the process; and adequate insulation keeps that attic heat from migrating into living spaces below.
Most effective options
- Increase passive ventilation (ridge + soffit)
- Add an attic fan or whole-house fan
- Upgrade attic insulation to R-49 or higher
- Add a radiant barrier on the roof deck
- Seal duct leaks in the attic with Aeroseal
A properly cooled attic dramatically reduces upstairs heat in summer, which lowers AC run time and energy bills. Get a free assessment through our attic fan service.
