How attic insulation works

Keep the heat where it belongs: in the attic.

  1. 01

    The sun bakes your roof

    On a Southern California summer afternoon, attic air can climb well past 130°F. That heat radiates straight down through the ceiling into the rooms you live in.

  2. 02

    Old insulation stops working

    Many older homes have only a few inches of insulation, often flattened, patchy or damaged. A thin layer lets heat pour through, so your AC runs longer and your bill climbs.

  3. 03

    We blow in a thick, even blanket

    Our crew parks the insulation truck outside, runs a hose up into the attic and blows loose-fill insulation across the whole attic floor, filling gaps around joists, wiring and corners to the recommended depth.

  4. 04

    Heat stays up top. You stay cool.

    Millions of tiny air pockets slow the heat down. The living room stays comfortable, the AC cycles less, and in winter the same blanket keeps warmth inside.

Attic check

How much insulation do you have?

Peek into your attic and measure the depth of the insulation with a ruler. Enter it here to estimate your R-value, the measure of how well insulation resists heat.

The U.S. Department of Energy recommends R-30 to R-60 for attics in most of Southern California. Estimates only; your advisor will confirm on site.

You have about R-8.

Programs & eligibility

Who qualifies for no-cost upgrades?

DACMO is a local program for qualifying residential SCE customers. SCE contracted Global Energy Services to design and run it. These are the quickest ways to check where you stand.

Step 1

Are you an SCE residential customer?

The program serves Southern California Edison residential customers. Have a recent SCE bill handy when you apply.

Step 2

Check your CARE / FERA status

Households enrolled in SCE's CARE or FERA bill-discount programs are often a strong fit. Look up your enrollment status with SCE.

Save energy today

Small habits, real savings.

78°F

Set it and forget it

In summer, set the thermostat to 78°F when you're home and higher when you're away.

4–9 pm

Shift to off-peak

Run the dishwasher, washer and dryer outside the 4–9 pm peak when you can.

Shade

Block the afternoon sun

Close blinds and curtains on sunny windows during the hottest part of the day.

LED

Switch to LEDs

LED bulbs use a fraction of the energy of old bulbs and give off far less heat.

Seal

Stop the drafts

Weatherstrip doors and caulk gaps around windows to keep cool air in.

Filter

Change your AC filter

A clean filter helps your system move air with less effort. Check it monthly in summer.
