Attic Tent ATT-at-5 Attic Cover, Silver

When my a/c guy came by recently to give an estimate on some repairs he pointed out that my attic stair ladder was not insulated and that hot air was likely being sucked from the attic and contributing to increased dust in the house and reduced efficiency of the upstairs air conditioner. I’m always wary of the upsell but a quick search of the energy star website indicated that uninsulated attic stairs can be a big source of waste. My a/c guy suggested that I install an attic ladder tent. I ended up with this unit and had it installed today. Measured with an IR gun, the hottest attic temp I can read with the tent closed is now 89 degrees. Before it was 108. Further, with the attic ladder opening fully closed, the air path between the attic ladder opening and a nearby return vent was hovering at 85 degrees. Now that same path is hovering at 75 degrees (same as everywhere else upstairs). In both cases the upstairs air conditioner is set on 73. This seems to indicate that air is no longer being sucked from the attic and the air being pulled into the return is the risen hot air from the room which is pretty much 75 degrees all along the ceiling. I also spray foamed in the cracks where they roughed in the attic stair ladder. I dont know if this is saving me money, but it clearly is reducing the amount of attic air being sucked down and back into my ventilation and thats a great thing. I suspect there are some savings as well. One last thing. The day after I installed this, my wife mentioned that it felt cooler in be hallway. This happens to be the hallway where the attic ladder is hung. I agree, it feels cooler.

I purchased one for myself a year ago, so I decided to buy one for a friend as a Christmas present.

Can feel the insulation. My house is warm now.

Wish we would have installed this years ago. Upstairs humidity has improved. Simple project. We used clear silicone to seal the bottom.

Noticeable difference

I have installed tent and I feel its is working very well with the Heat/Air and keeping the house cooler. But I believe I will have to wait 3 more electric bills to see the real difference. Ordering was very easy. Took about 30 minutes to put in.

This product is made of very solid material. Easy to install. Just staple the edges and apply caulk and youre on your way to save on electricity bill. My hallway is noticebly warmer with the cover in place now.

i COULD FEEL THE DIFFERANCE WITHIN MINUTES. WISHED I BOUGHT ONE 7 YEARS AGO WHEN I BOUGHT MY HOUSE. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Great Product ahead of time arrival, Thank you.

I purchased one for my house a few years ago. It has worked perfectly very easy to install. When I purchased a house for rental I installed one in that attic for my renter. Cuts the drafts big time.
