The attic is where Bill Gill first felt the difference.
“I moved into my house in June and was dreading moving boxes into the attic because of the 100-degree heat,” Gill said. “But when I got up there, I was surprised to find the attic was just a few degrees warmer than the temperature of the rest of the house, around 75.”
Gill’s Millbrook house is “fully encapsulated,” meaning that both the attic and the walls have a layer of spray-foam insulation. A great benefit of this measure is to be able to better regulate the house temperature, stopping hot air from getting in or cold air from leaving, which maintains a more comfortable home climate.“When I set the air conditioning on my desired temperature, it stays there until I change it, no matter what the weather is like outside,” Gill said.
