About Boca Del Mar
Boca Del Mar is a large, unincorporated community in the western portion of Boca Raton's zip code 33433. It encompasses thousands of homes across multiple subdivisions, with construction spanning roughly 1972 through 1995. The community is known for its mature landscaping, established streets, and mix of single-family homes, townhouses, and condominiums.
What We Find in Boca Del Mar Attics
The insulation profile in Boca Del Mar varies by construction era:
1970s homes: Original fiberglass batts at R-7 to R-11, now performing at R-5 to R-9 after 50 years of compression. These homes have the most to gain from an upgrade — and the most dramatic comfort improvement after installation.
1980s homes: R-19 builder-grade batts, now compressed to R-11 to R-16. Many of these homes have had no insulation work since original construction.
1990s homes: R-19 to R-30 builder-grade insulation, still below Florida's current R-38 minimum. Some have had partial upgrades.
Townhouses and condos: Boca Del Mar has a significant number of townhouses and attached homes. We work in shared-roof configurations with proper party-wall protocols.
The Boca Del Mar FPL Bill Problem
Boca Del Mar homeowners consistently report high FPL bills as the primary reason they contact us. In South Florida's climate, a home with R-9 attic insulation is essentially trying to cool a space with a thin blanket between the living area and a 150°F attic. The air conditioning runs almost continuously during summer months, driving up bills and wearing out equipment.
After upgrading to R-49 or R-60, most Boca Del Mar homeowners see:
- $100–$200/month reduction in FPL cooling costs during peak summer months
- Immediate comfort improvement — the difference is noticeable within days
- Reduced HVAC runtime — systems that were running 16+ hours per day drop to 8–10 hours
- Extended HVAC lifespan — less runtime means less wear and fewer repairs
