Attic

Insulating values of R-49 ( 18”of fiberglass), ( 14.2” of cellulose) All Electric Homes
Insulating values of R-38 ( 14.25”of fiberglass), (11” of cellulose) Gas Homes
Insulating values of R-30 ( 11.5” of fiberglass), (8.7” of cellulose). Gas Homes

Most homes are below the recommendation of the U.S. Department of Energy. Even with a new or older home, fiberglass insulation settles over time reducing the R value. Adding more insulation is easy, plus, insulation is one of the lowest cost options for improving the energy efficiency of your home. It pays off fast and keeps paying off with better comfort and energy savings for as long as you own your home. Cellulose settles at a slower rate holding it R value longer.

75% of the existing homes in the Gulf Coast area are below the U.S. Department of Energy recommendations. Inadequate insulation is the leading cause of energy waste in most homes. Here at Cinco Cooling & Heating we are helping the consumer save energy and be more environmental friendly, by using fiberglass and cellulose. All of the materials used by our company are name brand products listed by Underwriters Laboratories and in compliance with applicable ASTM, Consumer Products Safety Commission, and all local and federal regulations. Cinco Cooling & Heating Inc. is able to insulate homes at very competitive prices, whether for large custom models or smaller one-family units.

Solar Power Attic Ventilator
Solar Power ventilation for you attic offers an environmentally friendly and economical solution to your cooling problems, resulting from high attic heat penetrating through your home's ceiling. During the long South Texas cooling months your attic temperatures can soar to over 150°F, keeping your attic hot throughout the day and well into the night. The higher the temperature of your attic, the harder your Air Conditioner system works and heat will start penetrating through your homes ceiling at a faster rate. Whirlybirds, ridge vents, air hawks and soffits vents work off of natural convection and are still not enough to keep your attic at ambient temperature. Installation of a solar attic fan will remove the unwanted heat and create a air draft through your attic many times more powerful than that of natural draft air convection techniques. By inducing a greater air daft through the attic, our solar attic ventilators can effectively cool your entire attic and keep it cool throughout the day. Better cooling performance means more energy savings.

* Solid all metal construction
* Powerful air turnover (up to 20 times per hour)
* 1 Unit work for up to 2300 sf. attic space

* Tax rebate
*Note - of the hundreds of units installed, not one was lost during Hurricane Ike!

Radiant Barrier
According to The U.S. Department of Energy, radiant barrier can reduce summer heat gains by 16 to 42 percent compared to an attic with no radiant barrier. In most cases with existing homes radiant barrier is sprayed directly to the underside of the roof deck to reduce summer heat gain and winter heat loss, which helps lower cooling costs and reduces your attic’s equipment wear and tear. The barriers consist of a highly reflective material that reflects radiant heat rather than absorbing it......Our Energy Star approved radiant barrier is a permanent spray applied reflective coating that returns 75% of all incoming heat back through the roof surface to the outside. This system is installed to the underside of all roof areas. When applied correctly, your attic temperatures can be reduced up to 25% . This results in a more energy efficient and comfortable home.
