Insulation Upgrade from 5 Inches to 14 Inches Using Blown-In Fiberglass Insulation in Fresno, CA

The homeowner contacted us because her home felt extremely hot all the time, and she was becoming increasingly concerned about how high her cooling costs were. We inspected her attic and found that she only had about 4-5 inches of insulation. We determined that an insulation upgrade up to R38 would help her home stay cool and also reduce her cooling bills.

We began by sealing visible air leakage points, which helps prevent air from traveling between the attic and the living spaces of the home. Next, we blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to a height of 14 inches, bringing the home up to the Energy Star-recommended R38 level of protection.

As a result of the insulation upgrade, this homeowner and her family will enjoy a more comfortable home and reduced heating and cooling costs year-round up to 30% for as long as they live in that house.
