I have used it on a few houses, suppose to keep attic anywhere from 30 to 50 degrees cooler. I figure on a average house 2000 to 2500 sq. feet it cost about 500 t0 700 more. It's been a while since I checked prices. If I was building my own house I would use it.

Must be properly installed and sealed to have any effect. Ridge vents and proper attic ventilation do more in my opinion.
