Tyson Energy Solutions Before & After Photos

Hrach reached out to Tyson because he wanted to keep his home more comfortable. His home was noticeably colder in winter and warmer in summer. Because of this, his heating and cooling costs were higher because he constantly had to run his HVAC system. We came out and inspected his attic and found that his insulation was extremely low with only about two inches present. We determined that an insulation upgrade would best help him to reduce his heating and cooling costs and make his home more comfortable.

We began by air-sealing visible leakage points. We then blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to a height of 14 inches, bringing the attic to the Energy Star-recommended R38 level.

As a result of the insulation upgrade we performed, Hrach and his family will now enjoy a warmer home in the winter, a cooler home in summer, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 30% for the life of the home.

Marjorie contacted Tyson in search of a resolution to her hot, stuffy home and high cooling and heating costs. She said that she felt as though her HVAC system was running constantly during summer and winter. We came out and inspected her attic and discovered the cause. Her attic had only about 4 inches of insulation present. We determined that an insulation upgrade was needed to help Marjorie achieve her goals.

We began by air-sealing visible leakage points with closed-cell foam to help prevent air from traveling between the attic and living spaces of the home. We then blew in about 10 inches of premium, fiberglass insulation. Adding this insulation brought the home up to an R38 level, which si the Energy Star recommendation for our climate.

As a result of the upgrade, Marjorie and her family will experience a cool home in the summer, a warm home in winter, and lower HVAC usage by up to 30% for the life of her home.

Carol discovered Tyson Energy Solutions from our hundreds of 5-star reviews on Google. She had just bought a home and was planning on using it as a rental property, but wanted to have the attic cleaned up and new insulation added to make it more comfortable for her tenant. We came out and inspected her attic and found that there was virtually no insulation present and the attic was littered with debris and rodent feces. We scheduled a time to perform an attic restoration so that the rental would be cool and comfortable during summer, warm during winter, and have lower heating and cooling costs.

We took the following steps to execute the attic restoration for Carol and her tenant:

1) vacuumed out the old, contaminated insulation 

2) cleaned and sanitized the attic using DSV sanitizer, removing irritants, contaminants, and odors

3) air-sealed leakage points on the attic floor including top plates, wiring and plumbing penetrations, recessed lights, and registers

4) installed rodent-proof barriers to keep rodents and other pests from re-entering the attic

5) blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, bringing the attic to the Energy Star-recommended level for our climate

As a result of the attic restoration we performed, Carol's tenant will now enjoy:

1) better indoor air quality

2) reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50%

3) a cool, comfortable home in summer and a warm, cozy home during winter

The homeowner reached out to us concerned about the unbearable heat in her house and her high cooling costs during the summer. She also expressed that she and her children had bad allergies, and was hoping that we could help. We took a look in her attic and found that she only had about 5-6 inches of old, dirty, cellulose insulation. There was also evidence of rodent activity. She decided on the spot that she wanted an attic restoration done.

We began the attic restoration by extracting and disposing of the old insulation. We then cleaned and sanitized the attic using Nisus DSV sanitizer. This is a concentrated disinfectant, cleaner, mildewstat, fungicide, and sanitizer that kills a broad spectrum of viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Once we had a clean area to work with, we pinpointed all areas where air leakage could occur and sealed those areas with closed-cell foam. This included all top plates, wire and plumbing penetrations, and registers. By sealing the attic, air is prevented from flowing between the attic and the home's living spaces. Additionally, we installed barriers at any potential rodent entry points to prevent them from accessing the attic. We cleared the soffit vents to ensure improved ventilation of the attic space.

We increased the level of insulation in the attic by blowing in premium, Johns Manville fiberglass insulation to a height of 14 inches. This provided the Energy Star recommended R38 level of insulation. 

The homeowner later notified us that she could feel the difference in both the temperature and her allergies in the first few hours after we had done the work. She and her family will now enjoy a more comfortable, healthier home and reduced heating and cooling costs for the life of their house.

The homeowner contacted us because his house was so warm during the summer, he initially thought there was an issue with his air conditioner. Upon being told that there was nothing wrong with his HVAC unit, he called us to come out and look at his insulation. We inspected his attic and discovered that his insulation was at only about 7 inches, half of the Energy Star recommendation. We decided that an insulation upgrade would be just what he needed to get his home feeling comfortable.

We started by air-sealing visible air leakage points to help prevent air from moving between his attic and his home's living spaces. Next, we blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to a height of 14 inches to bring his attic to the R38 level of protection. 

Because of the insulation upgrade, not only will the homeowner and his family enjoy a more comfortable temperature in their home, but also reduced heating and cooling bills, and an HVAC system that is able to more effectively keep the house cool in the summers and warm in the winters.
