2000 Sq. Ft. House gets Attic Restoration – Insulation Removal, Air-Sealing, Blown In Fiberglass in Fresno, CA
Donna came across Tyson Energy Solutions from our hundreds of 5-star Google reviews and was impressed by what our previous customers had to say about us. She was looking for a solution to her high heating and cooling costs and the temperature discomfort in her home. We came out and took a look in her attic and found that she only had about 4 inches of old, fiberglass insulation. Many areas of the attic were bare and there were dozens of air leakage points, including top plates, registers, recessed lights, and wiring and plumbing penetrations. All of these areas were allowing air to flow between the attic and the home’s living spaces. Because of this, Donna decided that she wanted an attic restoration to help achieve her goals.
We took the following steps to complete Donna’s attic restoration:
- vacuumed out all of the old insulation
- cleaned and sanitized the attic to eliminate contaminants, irritants, and odors
- installed fireproof covers over her can lights and air-sealed all of the leakage points
- installed rodent-proof barriers at potential entry points to keep rodents and other pests out of the attic
- blew in 14 inches of premium, fiberglass insulation, bringing the attic to an R38 level, which is the Energy Star recommendation for our climate
As a result of the work we did, Donna and her family will enjoy the following benefits for as long as they live in that home:
- reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50%
- better indoor air quality
- a cool, comfortable home in summer and a warm, toasty home in winter
- less dust in the home
- higher resale value on her home if she ever decides to sell it
