Default Radiant Heat Barrier

The best investment we made here in The Villages was to have Radiant Heat Barrier installed under the roof. It looks like aluminum foil, but it cools the attic by about 25 - 30 degrees. They also lined the inside of the garage door. Our garage was so hot before we put this in that we had to race to the car to get the AC on before we passed out. Now the garage is about the same temperature as it is outside. I know the house AC is not running nearly as hard as it used to run.
