A/C Unit Problems
- Air Conditioner not cooling well?
- A/C unit blowing warm air?
- Home A/C not blowing cold air?
- One room in home too hot?
- A/C unit blowing hot air outside?
- House so hot with the ac on?
Problem: Overworked A/C unit
Your air conditioning unit pulls in the air around it to cool it before sending it out into your air ducts. The hotter the air is around the ac unit, the harder your A/C unit has to work to cool your air. Thus, leaving you stuck with warmer air that’s coming into your home. Some people think the A/C unit isn’t working when the problem really lies in the air around it. Your unit could be working just fine, do not hire a residential AC contractor until you read this next paragraph. With the average AC repair costs in 2016 [4] ranging from $165-$500, we just want you to be completely aware of other reasons your AC might not be cooling efficiently.

Air conditioners just assist in the cooling process, our product takes effect in the attic and air ducts before the air even reaches the unit.
Insulation Problems
- Think you need install insulation?
- Does radiant barrier work or how does it work?
- Already installed insulation but not saving as much money as expected?
- Installed radiant barrier and now your home is even hotter than before?
Problem: Too Much Insulation Not Enough Ventilation
You would think that since you installed insulation that you would be saving tons of money by now right? But there are certain elements you need for insulation to work properly otherwise it turns your home into an oven.
Problem: Radiant Barrier Not Saving Money?
The customer from the video gave us a call claiming he wasn’t saving as much money as he thought he was going to save after installing radiant barrier by another company. We inspected his attic to find that the previous radiant barrier contractor never installed an attic fan, BIG MISTAKE! Any radiant barrier installation should come with an attic fan to remove the heat. Radiant barrier is meant to keep the heat out of your home but if it doesn’t have proper ventilation, it’s basically deemed worthless. Even CostHelper Home & Garden [1] knows this, “A radiant barrier can cause damage if the attic isn’t properly ventilated”.
Solution: Install An Attic Fan Or A Better Radiant Barrier Solution
Only installing radiant barrier isn’t enough, without an attic fan or proper ventilation, radiant barrier can turn your attic into a solar oven that: heats up your attic and heats up your air ducts leaving you with a hot house or rooms that are more hot compared to the rest of the house. We offer the best radiant barrier in the world! Our patented SRX (As Seen On TV) insulation works for any insulation application and is backed with a lifetime guarantee to save you 20-50% on electricity for life!
Air Duct Problems
- Hot air coming out of air vents?
- Low air flow from vents in house?
- Air from A/C unit not coming out cool?
- Air flow from 1 room not cool enough or low air flow?
Problem: Hot Air ducts
What do your air ducts do? Energy Star [3] says, “In houses with forced-air heating and cooling systems, ducts are used to distribute conditioned air throughout the house“. Air ducts are the number 1 cause of why your air is coming out cool/warm and not cold. Your air ducts are the closest thing to your attic and when your attic gets hot so do your ducts. The cold air has to travel through the ducts to make it to all the rooms of your house. What do you think happens to air that travels through 125 degree air ducts? It heats up! Also if your ducts aren’t sealed properly, they could be letting in uncooled air from the outside.
Solution: Wrap Air Ducts With SRX
Your air ducts need to be wrapped in our SRX duct wrap to ensure your air will come out of your air vents much cooler than it currently is. Pippin Brothers [2] says, “Properly insulating your ducts will improve the overall efficiency of your system”. This will also ensure that the air is still the same temperature by the time it reaches the rooms that are the farthest away from the unit.
Air Ventilation Problems
Regardless whether you have radiant barrier or some other type of insulation installed in your attic, it’s going to heat up. Even the best insulation in the world can only keep your attic so cool without proper ventilation. You have to get that heat out somehow.
Problem: Bad Air Ventilation
If you have leaks in your ducts, no attics fans or ventilation systems installed in your attic, it’s going to get hot up there. The hotter it is in your attic, the hotter it is in your home and the harder your air conditioner has to work to cool your home down. If your AC unit has to run for extended periods of time its going to run up your electric bill fast.
Ventilation Keeps Hot Air Out
Ventilation is the most important step of keeping the hot air out of your attic and inevitably you’re the inside of your home. This customer’s home in the video had radiant barrier underlayment installed under the room which does keep some of the sun from entering the attic but the company who installed the radiant barrier didn’t install a ventilation system.
Solution: Install An Attic Fan(s)
Installing an attic ventilation system (aka attic fans) helps keep your attic cool, which helps keep your ducts cool, which help keep the air coming out of your vents cool. You need a powerful attic fan to get out and keep out that hot air from heating up the rest of your home.
Best Attic Fans In The Industry
