Energy Efficiency
 

We specialize in making your Houston area home more energy efficient. It is the core of our business. With electric bills becoming higher and higher, homeowners need different ways to make their home more energy efficient. This can be achieved by installing radiant barriers, insulation, and ventilation.

 
 

We at RSS, have a history of innovation concerning radiant barrier installation. We are the first installers of spray on radiant barrier and we hung foil years before the spray-on came onto the market.

 HYBRID RADIANT BARRIER SYSTEM
Now we have started installing a hybrid system consisting of foil and spray radiant barrier. As you know, each product has its advantage: foil has a better e-value, reflecting 97% of the radiant energy; and the spray-on radiant barrier has much better coverage because we don't have to leave gaps for soffit intake, vents and bracing. We are combining both to create the most effective retro-fit radiant barrier system available.

1. Radiant Barrier
A radiant barrier (materials usually consisting of a thin sheet or coating of a highly reflective material) reflects up to 97% of the “radiant” energy which comes from the sun. Radiant energy is generated by the sun and travels through space and does not create any heat until it strikes an object. This energy would normally conduct through your roof, radiate to your insulation and then into your home. By applying Radiant Barriers to the underside of your roof deck, you can lower your utility bills and increase your comfort. Click here for more information.


2. Insulation
Insulation works by slowing the conduction of energy into your home, it does this by trapping air and energy does not conduct through air. The proper amount of insulation can reduce your energy bills by up to 30%. Adequate insulation is very important year round in our area. It makes it possible for your air conditioning and heating system to keep your home comfortable. Click here for more information.


3. Ventilation
Having a proper attic ventilation system is more important than you think. Inefficient, attic ventilation systems can harm not only your wealth, but your health as well. Uncirculated air allows heat and humidity to linger in your attic and home. A well balanced attic ventilation system is an efficient approach to energy savings. Click here for more information.
