Florida here. My AC only runs non-stop if all of this hits at once: I let it get hot inside, it’s 95F outside, and it’s late afternoon where I catch zero shade.
The spray foam attic insulation under the roof is the bomb. If I had my druthers I’d force that in all new construction. Insane that we still use fiberglass and other crap.
Haven’t heard that. I can say this, we have a Habitat for Humanity home and the insulation, structure, windows, etc. are well above code. They don’t play. The mission is to put people in homes they can afford, from the day you sign the mortgage, into the future.
Yeah, the faucets, doorknobs, lighting, carpet, linoleum, all that is shit. But again, they don’t fuck around with structure (hurricane zone here) or insulation. Most energy efficient place I’ve ever lived.

I heard spray insulation voids your homeowners insurance. Is that still true?
Who can afford insurance in FL? 😏

How you qualify for one of those homes?
