Radiant Barrier Installation

Radiant Barrier Installation

In Arizona, heat doesn’t just creep in — it radiates from every direction, especially through the roof. That’s where radiant barrier installation comes in. At Phoenix Insulation Solutions, we help homeowners take the edge off intense attic heat with professional-grade radiant barrier systems that reflect heat before it ever enters your living space. Whether you're dealing with triple-digit summers or just looking for better year-round comfort, radiant barriers offer one of the fastest ways to improve your home's energy performance.

About the service

A radiant barrier is a reflective insulation material installed under your roof decking or along attic rafters. It works by reflecting radiant heat, preventing it from entering your attic and heating the air above your home.

Unlike traditional insulation that slows heat transfer, radiant barriers actually bounce heat away. In Arizona, where attics can reach 150°F+, this reduction in heat load means your AC works less — and your home stays cooler. Many of our customers report attic temperatures dropping by 20–30°F after installation.

Radiant barriers are especially beneficial in homes with little existing insulation, two-story designs, or sun-exposed rooflines. When paired with other upgrades like blow-in insulation or duct sealing, they multiply your home’s energy savings.

What’s part of the service

When you schedule a radiant barrier install with Phoenix Insulation Solutions, we start with a full attic assessment. We identify heat-penetration points and evaluate how your attic ventilation and existing insulation is working.

Next, we install radiant barrier foil or spray systems directly to the attic rafters or decking, depending on the layout of your home. We use high-reflectivity, perforated materials that won’t trap moisture — and ensure clean, even coverage from end to end.

  • Attic heat evaluation and inspection
  • Material selection based on roof design
  • Professional radiant foil or spray application
  • Moisture-safe installation with full ventilation access
  • Optional pairing with attic insulation or duct upgrades
  • Final walkthrough to confirm coverage and performance expectations

In most homes, radiant barriers can be installed in just one day with minimal disruption. The benefits are felt almost immediately — especially in upstairs rooms or areas directly beneath the attic space.

why you should take the service

Phoenix homeowners know the pain of battling heat from above. Radiant barrier installation is a powerful way to protect your attic and reduce the load on your air conditioning system. It’s not just about temperature — it’s about relief.

We’ve seen families go from running their AC nonstop to setting higher thermostats comfortably. One homeowner in Avondale told us their upstairs game room went from being “a sauna” to their favorite hangout spot after installation.

This service is affordable, fast, and ideal for homes that already have insulation but still struggle with high indoor temps. When combined with ventilation upgrades and duct sealing, it completes a full attic energy solution.

If you want better airflow, less heat soak, and lower energy bills without replacing your entire system, radiant barrier installation is a smart and proven upgrade. Trust Phoenix Insulation Solutions to install it right, so you can keep your cool year-round.
