With summer in full swing I am exciting to present the second part of the Super Therm installation to my house. As the avid self tester that I am, reaping the fruits of the installations, is always a great benefit. So it was a great satisfaction to receive my latest power bill. $ 93.
Even though we had a rather wet stars into this year’s Hurricane Season, the South Florida summer is here. High humidity and temperatures well in the 90’s. I remember last year’s bill coming in at almost $250. Now I did change my old worn out air conditioning to a splendid 17 SEER unit, but still the impact of the reflecting roof is a key contributor to the comfortable power bill.
The attic temperature measured 140 last year and it did not come close to the 100’s this time around. Yesterday I checked with a full day of sun in the early afternoon and had a reading of 92. It feels cooler, the AC lasts longer and the house adjusts. Cooling hardly ever begins before noon and the night time is comfortable at 77.
Test result? Super Therm works. The reduction in a single story structure of roof related heat gain is enormous. I have been recommending this product and will continue to do so. Feel free to contact about any details of my installation. And no, I am not working for Superior Industries.
What next? Not sure.
The landscaping is growing well, but it will be at least another 2 years before the mango and avocado tree will shade the southeast corner.
Sure I will find something else to test. Keep out for more updated on the green building state in Miami and more reports about truly green products. Beyond the literature…

It will be interesting to see how the solutions to combat inflating energy costs will effect my bottom line. I am very happy with the current installation.
Thank you for the comment.
I am wondering how much it cost to do your roof?
I hear that Super Therm is very expensive but haven't heard any $numbers.
