I cannot tell you how helpful your videos have been. This video is about energy efficiency but I’ve been desperate to find a solution to a dusty home causing me and my family health problems. The master bed and bath have it the worst and I couldn’t figure out for the longest time WHY. I spent thousands with different contractors and no resolve. Now I have a plan, that thermal gun is a great idea to see if there’s leakage from the attic going into the master bed and bath. It sits right above the room. thank you so much!
I rented this nice apartment that a/c would never cool the place down, in Texas. I went into the attic and found the box was open, exposing the A coils. Soon as I put everything back and duct taped it it got cold, I left a note explaining what i found. There has to be a better way than putting this in the attic
This is one reason I went with Mitsubishi hyped heat mini splits, no ducts sucking up heat in summer and cold in winter plus they heat down to -15 Fahrenheit so could get rid of my oil boiler
Great information except one thing I didn't get, I turn my a/c up to 78 or 80 when I leave for work and back down to 73 when I get home. It not only gets to that temperature it does it in a matter of minutes.
Completely agree with the ductwork in an attic absorbing heat but it's completely false that the measurement you're reading is the air that's coming out Infared meters measure the surface not the actual air. Even if the plenum is warmer than the air coming out it will still cool the room to that desired temperature. It's a matter of how long it takes that makes it a true statement

Can you post some "after" videos showing the improvements in temperatures like this?
What solution do you recommend? Insulating attic roof from inside or adding more insulation to the ducts or something else?

So what's the solution?
Spray foam directly on the plywood decking and rafters... great way to hide any rot from a roof leaking roof = not such a good idea.
can i air seal with foam over the insulation that wraps the ducts (ducts are in the attic)?
Great information. This is a very helpful video.

Dr energy saver comes to vegas lots of home need help
No problem when air handler is in the basement.

Spray foam does work
it also helps rot the plywood decking on the inside.
You should never use spray foam on decking. Never……
I think you need to get you’re AC checked.
For sure, even though that attic is that hot that supply should be putting out 60 degree air or cooler if properly charged and working correctly.
Talk too much... useless information,..
Quang Nguyen. Right. I thought I was just too impatient. Wasnt really saying anything useful was he
