An energy-efficient paint won’t just improve your home’s curb appeal to boost the selling price but it will also keep your house cool. If it can significantly cool your house, can you stop using your air conditioning? Can this type of paint replace the use of a cooling home system?
Is It Possible to Replace Your Air Conditioning Unit with an Energy Efficient Paint?
It may help in reducing indoor temperature. However, it still depends on the cold temperature that you want in your house. Deluxe LifeCote is a heat reflecting. It means that it doesn’t absorb UV rays. But it reflects the rays and reduces wall temperature by as much as 37 degrees.
This is a marked improvement from previous heat-rejecting paints. When the sun’s rays struck your house, surfaces covered in energy-efficient paint get cooler. The heat-combatting paints can reflect significant sunlight. It is one of the coolest on record. As it reflects the sun’s rays, it also sends infrared heat away from the wall surface. If you use this paint on your roof, it translates to cooling power.

The benefits of this type of paint are twofold. It keeps surfaces cool while reducing the use of air conditioners. In some cases, you will not be using your AC again.

In other words, the paint can help in decreasing the burning of fossil fuels.
Air conditioners remove heat from indoor spaces and push it outdoors. Heat transfer contributes to urban heat.

Never to Paint Again
But that’s not all the benefit you can get from choosing this type of paint. Deluxe LifeCote is actually not a paint. Rather, it is a coat that can help you save up to 21% on energy costs. You can also save on paint costs as it is 20 times thicker than ordinary paint. It bonds chemically to the wall to fight against peeling and chipping.
Guaranteed to Last a Lifetime
Every three to five years, you will need to redo your house’s exterior paint. And each time you paint it, you’ll have to spend up to $8,000 and it doesn’t include the labor cost. But if you choose Deluxe LifeCote, you’ll never have to paint your wall again. This is the only product on the market that covers cracking. Other painting manufacturers will only cover peeling.
