If the second floor of your Texas home feels noticeably hotter than the first, your air conditioner seems to run constantly, or stepping into your attic during summer feels like opening an oven, your roof and attic may be contributing to the problem.
Roof ventilation helps move heat and moisture through a vented attic by allowing outdoor air to enter near the lower portion of the roof and warmer attic air to escape higher up. However, ventilation is only one part of controlling attic heat. Insulation, air sealing, roof materials, ductwork, and the overall design of your roofing system also affect how much heat eventually reaches your living space.
