Insulation Upgrade and Electric Gable Fan Installation in 2100 Square Foot Home in Coarsegold, CA

The homeowner contacted Tyson Energy Solutions because his home was sweltering in the summer, particularly the upstairs. When we inspected his attic, we found that he had old batting insulation, which is not the most efficient for protecting a home from the harsh temperatures of the attic. Because the attic heat was so extreme, we recommended an insulation upgrade and the addition of an an electric gable attic fan to mitigate the heat.

We began by blowing in premium, fiberglass insulation to a height of 17 inches, bringing him up to the Energy Star-recommended level. We also air-sealed visible air leakage points using closed-cell foam. This serves to help in protecting the home from air coming from the hot attic. Lastly, we installed the QuietCool Electric Gable Fan and paired it to the homeowner’s phone.

In the few hours we were at his home, the homeowner expressed that he could already tell the difference in how frequently his air conditioner was having to turn on and the temperature difference upstairs. He and his family will be able to enjoy more comfortable temperatures, reduced heating and cooling costs, and a more efficient HVAC system for as long as they live in that home.
