Insulation Upgrade to R38 with Blown-In Fiberglass Insulation in 3600 Sq. Ft. Home in Clovis, CA

The homeowner contacted Tyson Energy Solutions because of his concern over rising energy costs and the fact that his home had been so hot in prior years. Because of the cost associated with running his HVAC system in his large home, he knew he needed to take action before the summer hit in Clovis. We came out and inspected his attic and found that it only had batting insulation, which is not effective for preventing hot attic air from traveling into the living spaces of the home. We determined that an insulation upgrade was needed to achieve his goals of a more energy and cost-efficient home.

We achieved the Energy Star-recommended R38 level by blowing in premium fiberglass insulation to a height of 14 inches. Because it was blown in, it fills all of the nooks and crannies which were present with the batting insulation that he had. We also air-sealed visible air leakage points to help prevent air from traveling between the attic and the living spaces of the home. 

As a result of the insulation upgrade that we performed, the homeowner and his family will be able to enjoy a cooler, more comfortable home in the summer, a warmer home in the winter, and reduced heating and cooling costs for the life of their house.
