From 4 Inches to 14 Inches – Blown In Premium, Fiberglass Insulation Upgrade in Fresno, CA

The homeowner contacted us because he was seeking a resolution to his high cooling costs and hot, uncomfortable home. We came out and inspected his attic and found that he only had about 4 inches of insulation present, well below the Energy Star-recommended level for our climate in the Central Valley. We determined that an insulation upgrade was needed to help him achieve a cooler, more comfortable home while also reducing his cooling bills.

We began by air-sealing visible leakage points using closed-cell foam to help prevent the ability of air to flow between the hot attic and the living spaces of the home. We then blew in 10 inches of premium, fiberglass insulation, bringing the home up to the R38 level recommended by Energy Star.

As a result of the insulation upgrade, this homeowner and his family will enjoy reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 30%, a cooler home during summer, and a warmer home during winter for the life of their home.
