Electric bills eat up too much of most people's money, and here in the south, anyone can tell you that the highest bills always come in the summertime. There is something nice about long, warm summer days, but trying to keep your house cool is not one of the nice things - the heat will do anything it can to get inside, and the better your insulation is, the less your air conditioner has to work - and the more money you will have to spend on other things besides electricity.

At Choice Home Improvements, they have over 40 years' experience in construction, specializing in home insulatio
Charlotte, NC - they carry only the best products, and can improve your home in multiple areas, but one of the things they specialize in is keeping radiant heat from entering your house. This is very important because regular attic insulation does not stop radiant heat; it just slows the heat down.

It has been shown in studies that the number one heat generator in any house is through the attic. In normal conditions, heat does rise, but in summer, especially here in North Carolina, the heat comes into your house through conduction - this occurs when the sun heats the shingles on your roof, and from there the heat will naturally flow to cooler areas. This is a simple scientific principle.

According to the dictionary, conduction is defined as follows:

'The transfer of heat between two parts of a stationary system, caused by a temperature difference between the parts. '

In other words, heat will always flow from the hot part of a system (the attic) to a cooler part of the system (the roof of your living room).

Regular insulation is not designed to stop this - all regular insulation can do is slow this process down.

That is why Choice Home Improvement is so pleased to offer a new product, the Silver Blanket. The Silver Blanket does not work like regular attic insulation; instead, it forms a radiant barrier which works to reflect heat off of the surface instead of slowing the conduction of heat like regular insulation.

This is the reason that it is much more effective at stopping the flow of radiant heat from one part of your house to another part - the part you live in, and the part that your air conditioner attempts to keep cool. The more of this radiant heat you can stop at the source, the more efficiently your cooling system will work, and the cheaper your electricity bill will become.

Choice Home Improvement is an authorized installer for this exciting product, and it is very important that the Silver Blanket is installed by professionals who have been trained in this application; the better the install, the better this radiant heat barrier will work to keep your house cool.

Choice Home Improvements have been working with home owners in the Charlotte, Raleigh and Asheville areas of North Carolina for years, and will ensure that the Silver Blanket technology is properly installed in your attic, assuring the fastest return on investment of any insulation you have ever had installed.

For Raleigh insulation needs, you can trust the pros at Choice Home Improvement for all your home improvement needs, especially the Silver Blanket!
