Attic Restoration and Installation of Blown In Fiberglass Insulation in 1200 Sq. Ft. Home in Tulare, CA

Mollie contacted Tyson Energy Solutions because her home was unable to keep the cool air produced by her air conditioner in the house. She suspected that it was leaking out of the house because her HVAC system was constantly running and yet, always felt hot. She was looking to reduce her cooling costs while also making her home feel more comfortable. When we inspected her attic, we found that she only had about 3-4 inches of insulation present. We determined that an attic restoration was the best option for her to achieve her objectives.

We started off by removing all of the old, dirty insulation from the attic. Once the attic was bare, we cleaned and sanitized the attic using DSV sanitizer to eliminate contaminants and irritants. Once the attic had been sanitized, we meticulously air-sealed the attic using closed-cell foam in order to prevent air from traveling between the attic and the living spaces of the home. This included all top plates, registers, recessed lights, and wiring and plumbing penetrations. The last step was blowing in 14 inches of premium, fiberglass insulation, bringing the attic to the Energy Star-recommended R38 level.

As a result of the comprehensive attic restoration that we performed, Mollie and her family will enjoy a cooler, more comfortable home during summers, warmer temperatures in winter, reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50%, and better indoor air quality for as long as they live in the house.
