Comprehensive Attic Restoration and QuietCool Smart Gable Attic Fan Installation in Fresno, CA

Kevin contacted us because his home felt uncomfortably warm and his air conditioner came on frequently, despite the fact that it was only May and not the Central Valley wasn’t even into the hottest summer months yet. He was concerned about his home’s ability to stay cool during the summer as well as the resultant cooling bills. When we came out and inspected his attic, we found that Kevin barely had any insulation in his attic, only about 3-4 inches. His attic also felt particularly hot due to improper ventilation, which was heating up his HVAC system and ducts and causing it to work overtime to attempt to cool the house. We determined that an attic restoration and installation of an attic fan was needed for him to achieve his goals.

We began by removing all of the old insulation. Next, we installed the QuietCool Smart Gable Attic Fan 3.0 to help cool his attic by automatically bringing in cooler outside air. We then cleaned and sanitized the attic using DSV sanitizer so that any contaminants and microbes were eliminated. We also located air leakage points and sealed them off using closed-cell foam. This helps to prevent the flow of air between the attic and the home’s living spaces. To prevent rodents and other pests from entering the attic space during winter, we installed rodent-proof barriers at any potential entry points. Lastly, we blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to a height of 14 inches to provide the Energy Star-recommended R38 protection.

As a result of our comprehensive attic restoration and installation of the smart gable attic fan, Kevin and his family will enjoy a cooler, more comfortable house during hot months, a warmer home during winter, reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 30%, and better indoor air quality for the life of their home.
