Why Insulation Matters This Summer — And How SRI Energy Can Help You Beat the Heat
As temperatures soar across Oklahoma, many homeowners are cranking up the A/C and dreading the utility bills that follow. But the real solution to staying cool this summer isn’t your air conditioner — it’s your insulation.
At SRI Energy, we specialize in helping homeowners across the state improve energy efficiency through proper insulation and high-performance window replacements. And the best part? Many upgrades are covered in part or fully through rebate programs from PSO and ONG.
Insulation Isn’t Just for Winter
It’s a common misconception that insulation is only useful during cold months. In reality, insulation is just as critical — if not more — in the summer. Without it, your air conditioning system works overtime to compensate for heat gain, resulting in:
✅ Higher energy bills
✅ Uneven indoor temperatures
✅ Excess humidity and discomfort
Insulation works by creating a thermal barrier that slows the transfer of heat between your home and the outside environment. During summer, this means:
The result? A more comfortable home and lower cooling costs.
Common problem areas for energy loss in Oklahoma homes include:
At SRI Energy, we offer free home energy assessments to identify problem areas and create an insulation plan tailored to your home.

Take the first step toward a cooler, more efficient home.
We’ll evaluate your current insulation and window performance, identify areas for improvement, and show you available rebates and cost-saving programs.
Q: How do I know if my home needs new insulation?
A: If your home has uneven temperatures, high energy bills, or insulation over 10 years old, it’s likely time for an upgrade. Our free energy assessment will identify any problem areas.
Q: Is attic insulation really that important in summer?
A: Yes. Your attic can reach 140°F or more in Oklahoma summers. Without proper insulation, that heat radiates into your home, making your A/C work harder and costing you more.
Q: Are there rebates or programs available to help with costs?
A: Absolutely. We work with PSO and ONG to help you access rebates that often cover 50% to 100% of the project cost.
Q: How long does insulation installation take?
A: Most residential insulation projects are completed in one day. Our team works quickly and efficiently to minimize disruption to your home.
Q: Can I bundle insulation and window upgrades?
A: Yes! We often create custom packages for homeowners looking to improve both insulation and windows. This approach maximizes energy savings and often qualifies for additional rebates.
