What is EasyCare Energy Saver?
EasyCare Energy Saver is a special type of reflective foil attic insulation that acts as a radiant heat barrier; meaning it actually blocks the transfer of radiant heat.
How does it work?
EasyCare Energy Saver is a radiant heat barrier that reflects radiant heat back in the direction from which it came. So, in the summer when the majority of heat comes in through the roof, EasyCare Energy Saver reflects the sun's heat BEFORE it penetrates your home. In the winter, as heat rises and tries to escape from the ceiling and roof, EasyCare Energy Saver reflects that heat back into your home.
Is it safe?
Yes. EasyCare Energy Saver is a non-toxic, non-carcinogenic material that requires no protective clothing, respirator or special tools for handling. In addition, it has a Class A/Class 1 fire rating and has been extensively tested for fire safety, vapor transmission, mold and mildew resistance, emittance and smoke density, along with a full line of physical properties tests.
What is the difference between E-value and R-value?
Until recently, insulation has been measured by an "R" value; which measures the resistance of a product to conductive heat. Conductive heat is a smaller part of heat transfer in a home. Radiant heat is a home's principal source of energy loss and is measured by an "E" value. EasyCare Energy Saver offers an E-value of .003 and acts as a barrier to radiant heat by locking it in during the winter and keeping it out during the summer; which is why it offers homeowners tremendous savings in their utility costs.
Has EasyCare Energy Saver been tested by outside agencies?
Our product and applications have been tested by an ever growing list of agencies such as: BOCA, ICBO, SBCCI and CCMC. EasyCare Energy Saver also has ENERGY STAR Approval.
Will EasyCare Energy Saver attract mold and mildew?
Absolutely not. EasyCare Energy Saver does not attract mold and mildew.
Do I need to have other insulation in my attack in order for this product to be effective?
No. EasyCare Energy Saver may be installed on top of your present insulation or stapled under your rafters or crawl space. Regardless of how much or how little insulation you have in your attic, EasyCare Energy Saver will save on your heating and cooling expense and will keep you much more comfortable.
