Best Insulation Approach for Texas
Recommended: Radiant barrier + blown-in attic insulation + air sealing
Texas summers are extreme — attic temperatures routinely exceed 150°F in DFW, Houston, and San Antonio. Radiant barriers combined with R-49 blown-in insulation are the most impactful combination. Oncor, AEP Texas, and CenterPoint offer rebates in some service areas.
