Attic Restoration and QuietCool Smart Gable Attic Fan 3.0 Installation in 1680 Sq. Ft. House in Fresno, CA
Donna and David contacted us because their house felt incredibly hot, no matter how low they turned their thermostat. Because their air conditioner was running all day long, their cooling costs were extremely high. They needed a solution to their hot and stuffy house and high bills. When we inspected the attic, we discovered that they only had about 2-3 inches of insulation present, as well as roofing debris littered throughout the attic. We determined that an attic restoration and attic fan installation was the best choice to help them achieve their goals
We began by removing all of the old insulation and roofing debris and then cleaning and sanitizing the attic with DSV sanitizer. This helped eliminate the contaminants and irritants in the attic. We then thoroughly located all air leakage points and sealed them with closed-cell foam. This process greatly reduces the air that is able to flow between the attic and the living spaces of the home. We also installed rodent-proof barriers to prevent rodents and other pests from entering the attic space. Lastly, we blew in 14 inches of fiberglass insulation to bring the home up to Energy Star minimum standards.
We then installed the QuietCool Smart Gable Attic Fan 3.0, which draws cooler air into the attic automatically in order to further mitigate the scorching heat of the attic.
As a result of the work we did, Donna, David, and their family will enjoy a cooler, more comfortable home in the summer, a warmer home in the winter, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50% for as long as they live in their home.
