Crawl Space
Crawl Space Heating / Cooling Problems
Temperature loss through crawl spaces is an all too common problem for many households. During the winter months, heat is lost through crawl spaces which gives the sensation of cold feet even when the air feels warm. On the opposite end during the summer, cold air transfers through floor crawl spaces which places a large strain on air conditioners.
TempShield™ Solution
When TempShield™ is installed in crawl spaces, the heat rays which flow downward in winter are reflected upward, back into the home at a 97% rate. The temperature of the cold floors which cause cold feet will be raised while fuel bills reduce, providing for increased comfort. As the heat is reflected back into the living area, it warms other objects. Those objects radiate heat back into the room, increasing your living comfort.
In the summer as cold air tries to seep out through crawl spaces, TempShield™ will reflect this cold air back into the room which leaves them cooler and more comfortable. Air conditioners will have much less strain placed on them which will reduce cooling bills.
Quick Tips
- Inspect your crawl space and make any needed repairs
- Check your crawl space to determine the amount of work space, and whether your floor joists are 16” or 24” on-center.
- Determine if there are water pipes and heating ducts which hang below the floor joists. These will need to be insulated.
