R49 Insulation Upgrade Using Premium, Fiberglass Insulation in 1600 Sq. Ft. Home in Visalia, CA

Mark called Tyson Energy Solutions because he was running his heat constantly in winter and his air conditioner constantly in summer. Despite this, his home still felt uncomfortable year-round. He was looking to achieve a more comfortable home temperature and humidity level while simultaneously reducing his heating and cooling costs. We inspected his attic and found that he had less than 2 inches of insulation present. This was the root cause of his high heating and cooling costs and uncomfortable home. We determined that an insulation upgrade was necessary to help Mark achieve his goals.

We began by air-sealing visible leakage points. This is done to help prevent airflow between the attic and the living spaces of the home. We then blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to a height of 16 inches, increasing the protection from heat transfer to an R49 level.

As a result of the insulation upgrade we completed, Mark will now enjoy reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 30% year-round and a more temperate, comfortable home for as long as he resides there.
