1250 Sq. Ft. Home gets R49 Insulation Upgrade with Blown In Fiberglass Insulation in Fresno, CA

Lynn contacted Tyson because she was frustrated by her high heating and cooling costs and her home being hot during summer and frigid during winter. When we came out and inspected her attic, we found that she only had about 8-9 inches of old batting insulation present. Batting insulation has a lower r-value than blown-in fiberglass, so her attic insulation was insufficient for our climate. We determined that an insulation upgrade would best help Lynn achieve her goals.

We began by air-sealing any visible leakage points with closed-cell foam to help prevent airflow between the attic and the living spaces of the home. We then blew in premium fiberglass insulation to an R49 level, which exceeds the Energy Star recommendation for our climate. 

The insulation upgrade that we performed will ensure that her home is cooler and more comfortable during summer, and warmer in winter, and her heating and cooling costs will be reduced by up to 30% for as long as she resides in that home.
