From 5 Inches to R38 (14 Inches) — Insulation Upgrade with Blown In Fiberglass in Clovis, CA

Kim contacted us because she was looking to upgrade her rental property and had worked with Tyson Energy Solutions before. With the work we had previously done for her, her energy bill during the summer had been reduced to only $200, so she was confident that an insulation upgrade could help her rental property too. We inspected her attic and found that there was only 5 inches of insulation present, so we determined that an insulation upgrade would indeed be her best option to achieve a more comfortable home for her tenant.

We began by air-sealing visible leakage points and removing the debris from an old swamp cooler that was no longer being used in the attic. We then blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to a level of R38, or 14 inches.

As a result of the insulation upgrade we performed, Kim’s tenant will enjoy a cooler, more comfortable home during winter, and warmer home during summer, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 30%. Kim will also be able to use this as a selling point when she goes to rent her property to NY future tenants.
