R38 Insulation Upgrade with Blown In Fiberglass in 1900 Sq. Ft. One-Story Home in Atwater, CA

Darcey called us because summer had just ended and she had spent the last few months uncomfortably hot in her home. At first, she thought the issue was her air conditioner, but after the HVAC technician came out, he said there was nothing wrong with her system. That’s when she contacted Tyson Energy Solutions. We came out and inspected her attic and found that she was severely low on insulation, with only about 4-5 inches. In order to make her home more comfortable year-round, we decided to upgrade her home to the Energy Star recommended 14 inches.

We air-sealed visible air leakage spots using closed-cell foam and then blew in premium fiberglass insulation to a depth of 14 inches.

Darcey said that she could feel almost an immediate difference in how frequently her air conditioner was coming on and running, and she stated that her house felt cooler for longer. She is certain to experience a more comfortable house during all seasons as well as reduced heating and cooling costs for as long as she lives in the home.
