Why Arizona Homes Feel Hot Even When the AC Is Running

If your air conditioner seems to run nonstop but parts of your home still feel warm, your AC may not be the real problem. Your attic could be.

During an Arizona summer, intense heat builds up in the attic above your living space. When a home has old, thin, uneven, or insufficient insulation, more of that heat can transfer through the ceiling and into the rooms below. Your AC then has to work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature.

Check Your Attic Before Blaming Your AC

Many Arizona homeowners replace or repair their air conditioner without first checking the insulation above it. If your attic is under-insulated, adding insulation can help reduce heat transfer and improve your home’s overall energy efficiency.

At Active Shield Insulation, we install high-quality Climate Pro fiberglass blown-in insulation and can bring under-insulated attics up to approximately R-38, depending on the home’s existing insulation and needs.

We also offer complete insulation removal, air sealing, and replacement when older insulation needs to come out.

Give Your AC Some Backup

Your AC works hard enough in Arizona. Proper attic insulation gives it another layer of protection against the brutal heat sitting above your ceiling.
