1200 Sq. Ft. Home Insulation Upgrade to R38 with Blown In Fiberglass in Visalia, CA

The homeowner contacted us because their attic had zero insulation and they desperately needed insulation added in order to keep their home a comfortable temperature and keep their heating and cooling bills low. We came out and inspected their attic and found that their insulation was indeed absent. It looked like the previous owner had begun to upgrade the attic but never completed the project. We determined that an insulation upgrade was needed to help the homeowner achieve their goals.

We air-sealed leakage points with closed-cell foam to prevent airflow between the attic and home’s living spaces. We then blew in 14 inches of fiberglass insulation to bring the attic to an R38 level, which is the recommendation for our climate from Energy Star.

Because of the work we performed, the homeowner and his family will now enjoy a cool, comfortable home in summer, a warm home in winter, better indoor air quality, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50% for as long as they reside in their home.
