Eco Solar Shield Reviews - Best Radiant Barri

What is the "R" value of Eco-Solar-Shield™?

An R-Value is a measurement of resistance to the flow of conductive heat transfer. Since Radiant Barriers like Eco-Solar-Shield™ are designed to reflect radiant and not conductive heat, they do not have an actual R-Value. Any "theoretical" or "equivalent" R-Value depends heavily on the method of installation and the size and number of airspaces surrounding the material. We do not attempt to assign any R-Value to Eco Solar Shield™ as it is not relevant and is somewhat misleading. It is the RB's ability to reflect radiant heat that makes it such an energy saver.


Which do I need, Perforated or Non-Perforated?


It depends on your particular climate and application. If you are installing the Eco-Solar-Shield™ on the outside/exterior of mass insulation, you generally want to use the perforated type so as not to trap moisture within the wall. If your climate or local codes call for an interior vapor barrier, you can install the Non-Perforated type on the inside/interior of mass insulation. In this case you would also tape the seams to create a vapor barrier. We recommend using only perforated Radiant Barrier – in all attic installations.


Is the Perforated type as effective as Non-Perforated?
Yes, the holes are very small and do not degrade the performance of the RB. They are there just to allow moisture to pass through and have virtually no effect on the thermal performance.


How much tape do I need?


When using Eco-Solar-Shield™ as a Vapor Barrier or house wrap, it is important to seal all the seams. You will need approximately 1 roll of tape (2" x 150') for every 1000sf of Eco-Solar-Shield™.


How can I Review the Eco Solar Shield feedback from homeowners who have already purchased the Radiant Barrier “Eco Solar Shield?”


There are dozens of reviews written about the Eco Solar Shield Reviews.


Is double sided Eco-Solar-Shield™ any better than the single sided type?


Yes, provided that it is installed with an air space on both sides. There are two properties which allow Radiant Barriers to work, reflectivity and low emissivity (low-e). Heat is reflected on the top/hot side, and since RB has a low-e value, heat is not emitted to the bottom/cold side. Of these two properties the low-e value is of greater importance. In order for a radiant barrier to be most effective in both summer and winter it needs to have aluminum on both sides. According to a study performed by a Texas A&M University professor, double sided radiant barriers were nearly 50% more effective than their single sided counterparts.


How much savings can I expect from an attic installed Eco-Solar-Shield™?


Your actual savings will vary with many factors including: attic installed location, house shading, duct leakage, air handler location, geographic location, etc. In the South, you can expect to see a 40% reduction in heat gained through the ceiling. This can translate to a 17% savings on cooling bills. In some installations, there will also be additional savings on heat which will no longer be lost through the ceiling in the winter.  Begin Saving on your electric bill now with Lower My Power Bill.

Radiant Barrier Eco Solar Shield Best In Market

Eco Solar Shield™ is a Revolutionary New High Strength, Multilayer, Composite Material that forms a Powerful Thermal Reflective Barrier, Blocking Heat in the Summer, and Capturing it in the Winter.

No other Radiant Barrier on the market today compares to Eco-Solar-Shield's™ efficiency, energy savings, or environmentally friendly qualities. Though thin and lightweight, It stops 97% of radiant heat transfer and, according to Department of Energy studies, adding Eco-Solar-Shield™ to existing insulation in your home provides more energy savings than installing an additional 12 inches of traditional fiberglass insulation.

Lower Your Power Bill: When you schedule your free energy evaluation you're taking the first step to identifying where your money is being wasted and where your energy loss is. With our customers enjoying an average savings of 30-50% on their power bill; $300 power bills are now $150 to $200.  

Power Bill Savings With Solar Hot Water Heater

With new technology comes energy savings. 

How Much Can I Save with a Solar Hot Water Heater? 

Your electric hot water heater is one item that guzzles your electricity from the power company with its 2 - 4,500 watt heating elements (that's the equivalent of 90 - 100 watt light bulbs on at all times.)

The benefits of replacing your electric hot water heater with a solar hot water heater is a savings in the range of $60 to $75 every month, forever.  You also can enjoy your hot water when the power is out for a period of 3-5 days.

Can Anyone Lower My Electric Bill?

If you live paycheck to paycheck like most American's, you're all too familiar with the second biggest bill in the house, the power bill.  It comes monthly and it just sucks. The cost of heating and air conditioning your home can make you crazy enough to go without these modern comforts of life in fear of having more bills than you have money.  This certainly isn't the way anyone should have to wake up in the morning, knowing that you're stuck although you want to lower my electricity bill.

Some time ago, it was thought that creating a means by which a homeowner could independently and cleanly  provide electricity for their home would not only help the homeowner to lower my power bill, but would also help to preserve the environment.  There were however, many obstacles in the way and only two ways to remedy the situation at the time. One way was to turn the air conditioning higher in summer, turning on the fans while sweating a little, and keep the heat off in the winter.  You'd just put some socks on and snuggle up with a loved one in.  Joy.

The second way was to go out and spend large sums of money upfront to never get a return on your investment, at least not in your lifetime.  So, unless you were rich and just wanted to do your part to save the planet and go green, this wasn't an option for many.

Fast forward to today whereby a homeowner can seemingly have their proverbial cake and eat it too.  Specifically, they can now save money on their power bill and get the power company to pay for it.  If you haven't thought about it lately, remind yourself that their is no other power company you can switch to, as your power company has a monopoly and that's that; until now that is.

Let's take a closer look.

After you've completed your in-home energy evaluation, you may be able to save as much as 30%, So for purposes of example let's say that a homeowner has an average electric bill of $300 per month.  In the summer the bill is higher and in the winter the bill is lower - we're going with average.

And, for purposes of easy math, if you were able to save $100 of the $300 check you would otherwise give to the power company this would be great right?  Well, it gets better.  With all this savings, you can now put yourself in a position to own equity in the electricity that powers your house.  Off the topic, but worth mentioning, there are many new positions available for green energy consultants.

This means that you can finally upgrade your home with products and modernized solar equipment such as the solar hot water heater, the eco solar shield, thermocool, almost anything while not changing your existing budget.  Between the prices coming down on energy saving home upgrades, the 30% federal tax credit and lastly the  manufacturer's rebates, this example of a $300 monthly bill being lowered by $100 a month would give the homeowner the opportunity to put that savings into a finance payment.  The payoff is generally between 4 and 5 years, but the savings is forever.  If you're planning on living in your home for more than 4-5 years, it's a great program.  The average power bill savings program saves a homeowner with a $300 average power bill over $30,000, over a 10 year period of time.
