Keep the Heat Out, Keep the Comfort In
If your home felt way too hot upstairs last summer, you’re not alone. Many homeowners in New Jersey and Westchester County are dealing with the same issue—and upgrading your attic insulation for summer can be the solution to your comfort concerns.
At Metro NY Insulation, we understand how frustrating it is to run your AC all day and still feel like you’re living in a sauna upstairs. That’s why attic insulation is one of the best things you can do to prepare your home for summer.
Let’s walk you through what’s happening in your attic—and how the right insulation can make your home cooler, more efficient, and much more comfortable.
Why Your Attic Overheats in the Summer
In the heat of summer, your attic can reach temperatures of 130°F or higher. Without proper insulation, that heat radiates into your living spaces, turning your upstairs into an oven and making your air conditioning work overtime.
That constant battle leads to:
Sky-high energy bills
Uneven cooling throughout your home
Shortened HVAC lifespan
Rooms that are just plain uncomfortable
And if your insulation is old, compressed, or missing in spots, you’re essentially giving that hot attic air a free pass into your home.
How Upgrading Attic Insulation For Summer Helps
Installing high-quality insulation in your attic acts as a thermal barrier, slowing down heat transfer and helping your home stay cool naturally.
At Metro NY Insulation, we often recommend:
Spray Foam Insulation: Great for sealing every nook and cranny, stopping air leaks and adding an extra layer of protection against extreme heat.
Cellulose Insulation: A fantastic eco-friendly option that provides solid coverage and long-lasting performance.
Both options help:
Stabilize indoor temperatures
Lower your summer cooling costs
Protect your roof and HVAC system
Make your entire home feel better—especially upstairs!
Signs Your Attic Needs Insulation Before Summer
- Upstairs rooms feel hotter than the rest of the house
- Your AC seems to run constantly
- Your energy bills spike every summer
- You’ve never had your attic inspected or insulated
If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to get ahead of the heat before the real summer temperatures arrive.
