Insulation Upgrade from 3 Inches to 14 Inches with Blown In Fiberglass in 1600 Sq. Ft. in Fresno, CA
The homeowner contacted us because his home was hot and stuffy and his cooling bills were extremely high. He was looking to reduce his cooling bills while also making his home feel cooler and more comfortable. When we inspected his attic, we found that there was only about 3-4 inches of insulation present. We determined that an insulation upgrade was necessary to help him lower his bills and keep his home feeling comfortable.
We began by air-sealing visible leakage points using closed-cell foam to help prevent air from traveling between the attic and the living spaces of the home. We then blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to a height of 14 inches, or R38.
As a result of the work we did, the homeowner and his family will enjoy a cool, comfortable home during summer, and warmer home in winter, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 30% for the life of their home.
