Insulation Upgrade to R49 (18 Inches) Level Using Blown-In Fiberglass Insulation in Clovis, CA
Jacob reached out to us specifically to add insulation to what he already had in his attic. He had been in his attic and knew that his insulation level was low. When we inspected his attic, we agreed. He only had about 6 inches of insulation present, well below the Energy Star-recommended 14 inches. However, Jacob wanted to exceed the recommended level and have insulation added to bring him up to 18 inches. We determined that an insulation upgrade would be his best option to help keep his home’s temperature comfortable year-round.
We began by air-sealing visible leakage points using closed-cell foam. We also ensured that all soffit vents were cleared and able to ventilate properly. Lastly, we blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to a height of 18 inches.
As a result of the insulation upgrade, Jacob will experience a cooler, more comfortable home during summers, a warmer home during winters, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 30% for as long as he lives in the home.
