R38 Insulation Upgrade Transforms Jane’s Home Comfort and Efficiency in Reedley, CA
Jane reached out to us seeking a resolution to her home’s uncomfortable temperatures. We came out to her home and inspected the attic and found the root cause of the issue: the attic only had about 5 inches of cellulose insulation present. We determined that an R38 insulation upgrade was needed to help Jane achieve her goals of reduced energy bills and a more comfortable house.
We took the following steps to complete the R38 insulation upgrade:
- Air-sealed visible leakage points to prevent unwanted air transfer between the attic and the living space.
- Blew in new fiberglass insulation to bring the attic up to the recommended R38 level.
- Provided Jane with before and after pictures to showcase the transformation.
As a result of the upgrade we performed, Jane will enjoy a home that is much more comfortable year-round, with improved energy efficiency and lower heating and cooling costs. The new insulation will help maintain even temperatures throughout the house, preventing hot and cold spots and reducing the strain on her HVAC system.
