Austin summers are long, hot, and humid, and attic temperatures can easily climb above 130–150 degrees.

If your attic has thin or compressed insulation, that heat flows straight into your living space, forcing your AC to run longer and still leaving upstairs rooms and west‑facing spaces uncomfortably warm.

For our area, the Department of Energy and Austin‑area programs generally recommend around R‑38 to R‑60 attic insulation in existing homes, but many Austin houses have far less than that, especially older homes and remodels.

Homeowners often notice high electric bills, rooms that never quite cool off, and big temperature differences between floors or between sun‑facing and shaded rooms.

How All Star Home Insulation serves Austin homeowners

All Star focuses on the improvements that make the biggest difference in Austin’s climate:

• Blown‑in attic insulation – We add high‑coverage blown‑in insulation to build a thick thermal blanket over your ceilings, cutting heat transfer from a super‑hot attic into your home.

• Fiberglass batt insulation – In open walls, ceilings, and floors, we install batts carefully to avoid gaps, voids, and compression, helping smooth out hot and cold spots and reduce outside noise.

• Radiant barrier & attic upgrades – Radiant barrier and other attic solutions help reflect the sun’s radiant heat before it can bake your attic, especially in homes with little roof shading.

• Air sealing & attic sealing – We seal around recessed lights, plumbing penetrations, duct chases, attic hatches, and top plates so conditioned air isn’t leaking into the attic and humid outdoor air isn’t sneaking back inside.

• Insulation removal & clean‑up – Where old insulation is settled, dirty, or contaminated, we remove it safely so your new insulation can perform at full strength and support healthier indoor air.

We can also point you toward local utility programs or rebates (like Austin Energy insulation rebates) when they apply, so you get the best long‑term value from your project.​

What to expect from an Austin insulation assessment

When you schedule an insulation assessment in Austin, our team:

• Inspects your attic and accessible wall areas while your HVAC system is running.

• Measures existing insulation depth and estimates current R‑values so you can compare them to Austin‑area recommendations.

• Checks for air leaks, moisture issues, and common defects like missing insulation over rooms, compressed batts, or uninsulated attic hatches.

Then we answer your questions in clear, everyday language and lay out a step‑by‑step plan tailored to your Austin home: which areas to tackle first, what kind of comfort and energy‑bill changes you can realistically expect, and how the work fits your budget and goals.
