Our new house was built in 1973. That means the insulation in the attic is old, at least for insulation. And it's also settled a lot in three and a half decades, reducing the amount of insulation to around 3 inches. That is no where near the suggested 12-16 inches for Houston's climate. Thankfully, when we told our land lord that the ceiling temperatures via the infared thermometer were roughly 88-90 degrees, he agreed to pay for new insulation. Saturday, Isaac and our friend Jeff and Tim blew 40 bags of earth friendly, 85% recycled material insulation into our attic. Within hours, the ceiling temperature was down to 78-79 degrees, right where it should be. Our electric bill will rejoice!
Jeff and Tim: Isaac owes you!!
