Having an properly insulated home is crucial to keeping your electric bill low and all your bedrooms cool during the Florida summer. This week we received a call from a customer that this exactly. “My front bedrooms are always warmer than the rest of the home, but my electric bill is not high.”
Upon inspection, we discovered that the insulation ranged from 5″ to 7″ in the entire home and determined that the home was far from being insulated correctly. We I asked about her low electric bill, she stated, in the summer it is $350, which is insanely high for 1,750 sq.ft.
Location:
South Orlando, Florida
Concern:
Front bedrooms were 4F warmer than the rest of the home.
Cause:
Under-insulated home, old insulation.
Correction:
