Boosting Home Comfort with an R38 Insulation Upgrade in Clovis, CA

Jason reached out to us because his home in Clovis was struggling to maintain a comfortable temperature, causing his HVAC system to work overtime and his energy bills to climb. When we inspected his attic, we discovered that he had only about 3 inches of old cellulose insulation—far below the recommended level. The inadequate insulation was allowing heat to transfer freely between his attic and living spaces, making it difficult to keep his home cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

To resolve this issue, we started by air-sealing key areas of the attic, including top plates, plumbing and wire penetrations, and HVAC registers, using closed-cell foam. This step prevents conditioned air from escaping and keeps the home more energy-efficient. We then upgraded his attic insulation by adding premium blown-in fiberglass insulation, bringing it up to an R38 level, which is the Energy Star recommendation for our region.

With this insulation upgrade, Jason’s home is now much better equipped to maintain a consistent indoor temperature. He will enjoy lower heating and cooling costs, improved energy efficiency, and a more comfortable home year-round.
