I wanted to give you a update. We spoke on the phone a couple of times and I appreciate your suggestions regarding my home. I have lived in the home for 30 years and have utility records going back 20 years. It's an typical 1 story ranch style home on pier & beam still with single pane windows (more on that later). I had averaged about 14,000 kwh per year for the last 16 years prior to 2006. I installed your radiant barrier in December 2006. For 2007 & 2008 my bills went down to about 11,500 kwh. This is about an 18% savings from the foil alone with nothing else done. Then, this Spring I replaced the AC unit that was 19 years old. This year my energy usage will come in at about 10,000 kwh for the whole year. So, combining the radiant barrier & a new AC unit, my bill has dropped about 30% with the largest part from the radiant barrier. After doing more research, I decided not to spend 7-10k on new replacement windows. Since probably half my bill now is from appliances, lights, etc. I just don't think the payback is there for the windows. Thanks again for the info you provided me and I constantly recommend your product to anyone who is trying to save some money on their utility bills.
