Is the intense Las Vegas summer heat making your home unbearable and your energy bills skyrocketing? An unprotected attic often acts like a giant radiator, transferring heat into your living spaces.
Bob’s Repair provides expert radiant barrier installation that Las Vegas homeowners rely on to combat these common issues and enhance home comfort and energy efficiency:
Problem: Your AC runs nonstop, but energy bills rise—often due to radiant heat entering through your attic and heating your home.
Our Solution: We install a radiant barrier—usually reflective foil—under your roof or over existing insulation to block heat, ease the load on your AC, and lower energy bills.
Problem: Heat from the attic warms upstairs and main living areas, making it harder to cool your home and stressing your AC.
Our Solution: Our radiant barrier reflects heat entering through the roof, keeping your attic cooler and your home more comfortable year-round.
Problem: Excess attic heat makes your AC work harder, causing extra wear and risking early failure.
Our Solution: Installing a radiant barrier reduces the heat your HVAC system must handle, easing its workload, cutting cooling costs, and potentially extending its lifespan.
Problem: Even with fiberglass insulation, radiant heat can still pass through and warm it, reducing its effectiveness—especially in sunny climates.
Our Solution: A radiant barrier complements your attic insulation by reflecting heat before it reaches it, boosting overall insulation performance and energy efficiency.

A radiant barrier is a reflective material, often radiant barrier foil, that is installed in attics to reduce summer heat gain. It works by reflecting radiant heat (heat that travels in a straight line and heats anything solid that absorbs its energy) that transmits from the sun-baked roof to the attic space. By blocking and reflecting this radiant energy, a radiant barrier helps keep the attic temperature cooler, which in turn reduces heat transfer into your living spaces. For it to work effectively, it must face an air space.
The primary benefits of installing a radiant barrier, especially in a sunny climate like Las Vegas, include significantly lower energy bills by reducing cooling costs, improved indoor comfort due to less heat entering the house, and reduced strain on your HVAC system, potentially extending its lifespan. It’s an effective method to improve energy efficiency.
Yes, a radiant barrier is often installed in conjunction with existing insulation like fiberglass insulation or spray foam. The radiant barrier reduces radiant heat transfer, while your existing insulation reduces convective and conductive heat transfer. They work together to provide a more complete thermal barrier. The installation method might involve laying the radiant barrier foil over the existing insulation on the attic floor or attaching it to the underside of the roof rafters.
Foil radiant barriers typically consist of a thin layer of highly reflective material (like aluminum foil) often backed by kraft paper or other materials for durability. They are physically installed by stapling to roof rafters or laying over insulation. Spray-on radiant barriers are coatings that are sprayed onto the underside of the roof sheathing. While both aim to reduce radiant heat, foil barriers generally offer higher reflectivity. We can help determine the best solution for your attic.
Savings on energy costs can vary based on factors like the size and orientation of your home, the amount of sun exposure your roof gets, your current insulation levels, and your energy consumption habits. However, studies and customer experiences show that a properly installed radiant barrier can significantly reduce cooling costs, often leading to noticeable savings on summer electric bills.
While some homeowners might consider a DIY approach, professional installation of a radiant barrier is highly recommended. Proper installation, including ensuring an adequate air gap (at least one side of the foil must face an air space) and correct attachment (e.g., to roof rafters or using furring strips if needed), is crucial for the radiant barrier to perform effectively and safely. Professionals also understand how to work around obstacles like exposed AC duct work and ensure no moisture issues are created.

Thorough Attic Inspection
We inspect your attic space, evaluate existing insulation levels, identify the best installation method (e.g., attaching to roof rafters or laying on the attic floor), check for adequate air space, and measure the area. We discuss your goals for energy efficiency and reducing summer heat.
Customized Plan & Quote
Based on the inspection, we recommend the most effective radiant barrier material and installation strategy for your specific attic. We provide a detailed, transparent quote for your radiant barrier installation project, outlining the method and materials to be used.
Preparation & Safe Installation
Before installing the radiant barrier, our crew carefully prepares the work area, protecting your home. Whether installing radiant barrier foil or another material, our technicians expertly handle the installation. If attaching to the underside of the roof, we ensure it’s done correctly, often between the roof rafters, ensuring the necessary air gap for optimal performance of the reflective foil. Care is taken around wiring, plumbing, and vents.
Using the chosen installation method, our technicians will install the radiant barrier material. This might involve stapling the foil insulation to the roof rafters or carefully laying it over your existing insulation. We ensure complete coverage and proper technique to maximize radiant heat reflection and reduce attic temperature.
We conduct a final inspection to ensure quality workmanship and proper installation of the barrier. We clean up the work area thoroughly and provide you with information regarding the newly installed radiant barrier. We want to ensure you get the full benefit of less heat entering your home.
