R38 Insulation Upgrade with Blown In Fiberglass Insulation in One Story Home in Kingsburg, CA

The homeowner called Tyson Energy Solutions because even though he had a whole house fan, but he still felt his home was hot during the summer months. We inspected his attic and found that his insulation was lacking; he only had about 8 inches, well below the Energy Star recommended 14 inches. Knowing that the hottest parts of the summer were upcoming, we decided to perform an insulation upgrade to protect his home from the extreme summer heat of the Central Valley.

We increased the level of insulation in the attic by blowing in premium, Johns Manville fiberglass insulation to a depth of 14 inches. We also sealed holes, gaps, and cracks in the attic to prevent air from leaking between the attic and the living spaces of the home.

As a result of the insulation upgrade, this homeowner and his family can now enjoy a more comfortable home and lower heating and cooling costs year-round for as long as they live in their home.
