Florida homeowners pay some of the highest energy bills in the country — and your attic insulation is often the #1 reason why. When your attic runs at 150°F in summer, your AC has to work two to three times harder to keep your home comfortable.
The average Florida home with under-insulated attic loses 25–40% of its cooling energy through the roof. That's not a small inefficiency — it's a massive monthly expense that compounds over years.
Florida Building Code now requires R-38 attic insulation for new construction. Older homes, particularly those built in the 1980s and 1990s, often have R-11 or R-19 — far below standard.
Upgrading to R-38 blown-in insulation typically reduces cooling costs by 20–30% in Florida's climate. For a home paying $200/month in summer electric bills, that's $40–$60 in monthly savings — often paying back the insulation cost in under 2 years.
