Insulating an Attic

Posted by yomamak on 2/5/24 at 1:22 pm
I have a 1800sq foot house and I need to add insulation to my attic. I have an extremely low pitch on my roof. Even in the middle of the attic I can not stand up. Some spots have adequate insulation and some spots have none. The areas I cannot get to is where the insulation is. Thinking about spread...

I do not use the app, didn't even know about it or why I would even need it. Also this may be embarrassing but I have never even updated the router. Just plugged it in day one and here we are now....

really don't wanna spend more than $200. Seems like I wouldn't really need anything that powerful right? i would like to wire my main tv since it's so close to the modem/router but for some reason i cant with my current router. I think something is wrong with the port as it used to work. The ...

I have Chubb is a dynasty league and I'm thinking his career may be over or at least he wont be at the same level ever again. Am I over reacting here or is this the general thinking? ...

re: New House AC question

I mean this in the nicest way possible but I wouldn't judge your unit based off 102 degree temps. 72 is way too low unless your house is perfectly insulated. ...

Help with Dallas

Posted by yomamak on 8/8/23 at 11:30 am
Flying into Dallas LOV early on a Sunday in early September but staying at the embassy suites by DFW for work. Looking for a breakfast/coffee place then a sports bar that has NFL on for that Sunday. Not sure the distance between the two airports but I guess something closer to where I'm staying sinc...
like everyone my hvac is struggling on these hundred degree days and i know i have poor attic insulation (will be handled this winter). I'm wondering how much is a double west facing window with porous blinds actually heating my house? I'm trying to decide if its worth blacking out these windows for...
Technically I have an oversized unit by a half ton and mine still runs 12 hrs a day on the hottest days and almost non stop from 2-6. I have shite for insulation and such a low pitch on my roof its almost flat. Ohhh and hardly any attic ventilation. I plan on addressing these issues this winter. I al...
I'm in the same boat but I'm gonna go with ridge vent instead and insulate more this coming winter....

i think when myself and my hvac guy did the calculations for my new unit i was in between a 3 and a 4 but went with the 4 because of my house conditions. Looking at attic fans now to help as well....

re: Attic Insulation Question

Posted by yomamak on 6/13/23 at 8:41 am
I have not checked the temp up there as I'm sure its pure hell. Between the low pitched roof and absolutely zero shade I know I'm getting all the heat up there. As far as vents go I have one of each side of the long run of the house but that's it. No whirlybird or anything like that. ...

Attic Insulation Question

Posted by yomamak on 6/13/23 at 8:20 am
Like some of yall with these temps my ac has been running non stop from about 2:30-6. This is my first summer with my new 4 ton ac and it's doing better than the previous 3 ton but still runs a lot (12 hours a day). The main problem is I know my attic is not insulated fully. Some parts are and some ...

re: Question for HVAC guys

Posted by yomamak on 5/19/23 at 11:23 am
[quote]The discussion should be (per the OP) is whether it is better to run it throughout the day intermittingly or have it basically off during the day and let it run longer in the evening to catch back up. From a maintenance perspective. Not which is cheaper to do.[/quote] This. I'm not worri...

Question for HVAC guys

Posted by yomamak on 5/19/23 at 9:25 am
I recently upgraded from a three ton to a four ton, added another air intake and this will be my first summer with it. Problem is my house has a terrible heat load (low pitch roof, inadequate insulation in attic, and no shade for said roof). Before the three ton would run all day in the summer with ...

AC Maintenance Plan Question

Posted by yomamak on 4/26/23 at 8:45 am
I had a new unit installed this past October, with a 10 year parts and labor warranty and the installer called me this past week offering a $180 maintenance plan for before the summer kicks off. Do I really need to get a new unit looked at and cleaned this soon? Also with a parts and labor warranty ...
