Why Is The House So Hot?

Thank you for watching and adding about your experiences. Yes, most attics need to be sealed and insulated. I rarely see a house that has both important components of a well-insulated attic. I might see one that has sealing but is low on insulation. The next will have plenty of insulation, but no sealing. Both are quite important and can make a big difference in comfort, energy usage and sustainability.

I am convince this 1952 home attic isnt properly air sealand and maybe badly insulated also. I have a constant 70 percent humidity in home and 85 in a closet in the winter

9 out of 10 houses are under-insulated so it would not surprise me if yours falls into the majority! Thank you so much for watching and I am glad my videos are helping you!

If the AC can’t keep up with cooling down the house and it’s having trouble then I got you covered on this one. Try to get a cool roof which is white roof because they can reduce temperatures inside during the daytime by 5°C because it reflects a lot of sunlight off the roof surface back to space preventing heat from being absorbed on your roof and radiating into your house and it keeps the outdoor temperatures cooler too. On the other hand, darker coloured traditional roofs, absorbs more heat and radiating inside your house making the temperature warmer and even outside as well so go with white roofs instead 👍.

I used to sell them! CertainTeed Star White

Nice 👍 there’s also something called ultra white paint and they say that the cooling effect is 5 to 10 times more powerful than commercial white paints for reflecting sunlight and they say it can reduce your need for air conditioning completely for a hot day, depending on the air temperature and the conditions.
