A Florida attic in August runs 130 degrees and hotter, and every degree of that fights your air conditioner through the ceiling. Sunologi Inc. is a licensed Florida building contractor (CBC1261200) installing blown in attic insulation and solar attic fans across our 17 county footprint. Both jobs are quick, both pay for themselves in cooling costs, and both are done by our own crews with a written scope, not a coupon crew blowing a few inches and leaving.
Blown in attic insulation
Most Florida homes we open up have half the attic insulation current energy code calls for, settled and thinned by decades of heat. We top attics up with blown in insulation to the depth that actually performs in this climate, sealed at the obvious bypasses and kept clear of soffit vents so the attic can still breathe. We measure the existing depth at the site visit, tell you the honest starting point, and quote the real coverage in writing, including baffles and rulers so the finished depth is verifiable, not taken on faith.
Solar attic fans
A solar attic fan pulls superheated air out of the attic all day using nothing but sunlight, no wiring to your panel and nothing added to the electric bill. Cooler attic air means your insulation works better, your ducts carry cooler air, and your AC cycles less. We mount them properly flashed into the roof so they never become a leak, size the fan count to the attic volume, and pair them with adequate intake ventilation, because an exhaust fan without intake just pulls conditioned air out of the house.
Why insulation and attic fans together
Insulation slows heat coming through the ceiling; attic ventilation lowers how much heat is up there pushing in the first place. Done together, the attic runs cooler and the insulation performs closer to its rated value, which is why we quote them as a package when the attic needs both. It is one visit, one crew, and one written scope, and it is the cheapest meaningful cut most Florida homeowners can make to a summer cooling bill without touching the AC itself.
Insulation and Attic Fans: common questions
How much insulation should a Florida attic have?
Current Florida energy code calls for far more than most older homes have. Rather than quote a number that ages badly, we measure your actual depth at the free site visit and put the current code target and your starting point side by side in the written scope.
Do solar attic fans really work in Florida?
Florida is the best case for them: the same sun that superheats the attic powers the fan hardest exactly when the attic needs it most. The honest caveats are that the attic needs matching intake ventilation and reasonable insulation for the savings to show up, which is why we look at the whole attic instead of just selling a fan.
Does attic insulation or an attic fan need a permit?
Blown in insulation top ups generally do not. Roof mounted attic fans can, depending on the jurisdiction, because they penetrate the roof. We make that call correctly for your address and pull anything required under license CBC1261200, with the flashing inspected so the roof stays watertight.
