Tyson Energy Solutions Before & After Photos

The homeowner contacted us because his two-story home was uncomfortably warm as we approached another scorching Central Valley summer. Additionally, his home had two HVAC systems working to keep his house cool, and his cooling bills were already becoming unmanageable with the rising cost of energy. When we inspected his attic, we found that it only had about 6 inches of insulation, and he had several HVAC ducts that were broken and leaking air. In addition to replacing the broken HVAC ducts, we determined that an attic restoration would best help him achieve his goals of attaining a cool, comfortable home and lowering his cooling bills.

We began by sucking out all of the old, contaminated insulation and disposing of it. We then identified all of the HVAC ducts that were broken and leaking air and installed R6 flex ducts in their place. Next we cleaned and sanitized the attic using DSV sanitizer. Once we had an empty and sanitized workspace, we identified air leakage points -- including top plates, wire and plumbing penetrations, and recessed lighting -- and sealed it using closed-cell foam to prevent air from traveling between the hot attic and the living spaces of the home. We also installed rodent-proof barriers to keep rodents and other pests from entering the space. Lastly, we blew in 14 inches of premium, fiberglass insulation to bring the attic up to the Energy Star-recommended R38 level.

As a result of the duct replacement and attic restoration, the homeowner and his family will enjoy the following benefits:

1) better indoor air quality

2) reduced heating and cooling bills by up to 30%

3) more comfortable temperatures in their home year-round

4) higher resell appeal should they ever decide to sell their home

5) they will never have to have this work done again -- it's a one-time investment

6) reduced wear and tear on their HVAC systems

Ron contacted Tyson Energy Solutions because his large home was extremely hot and was becoming increasingly expensive to keep cool during the hot summer months. He was looking to reduce his dependence on his air conditioner but still keep his house cool and comfortable. Although his home was built in 2002, when we inspected his attic, we found that he only had about 5-6 inches of old insulation present. We determined that a full attic restoration was the best option for Ron to achieve his goals. 

We began the attic restoration by vacuuming out all of the old insulation and disposing of it. Next, we cleaned and sanitized his attic using DSV sanitizer, a powerful disinfectant, to eliminate contaminants and irritants from the attic space. We then carefully located air leakage points and sealed them using closed-cell foam. This includes top plates, plumbing and wire penetrations, recessed lighting, and registers. We also installed rodent-proof barriers to keep rodents and other pests from entering the attic. Lastly, we blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to a height of 14 inches, providing R38 protection to the home.

As a result of the comprehensive attic restoration we performed, Ron and his family will not only enjoy a more comfortable home during summer and lower cooling costs, but also better indoor air quality and a warmer home in winter for as long as they live in that house.

Nikki contacted us because she felt that her heating and cooling bills were always high and her HVAC system was always running. Despite this, her home constantly felt cold in winter and hot in summer. We came out and took a look in her attic and discovered why: she only had about 3-4 inches of insulation, so the conditioned air was leaking into the attic and the attic air was leaking into the home's living spaces. To remedy this, we determined that the best course of action was an insulation upgrade. 

We began by air-sealing visible leakage points. This helps prevent air from traveling between the attic and the living spaces of the home. Next, we blew in Johns Manville fiberglass insulation to a height of 14 inches, bringing her attic to the Energy Star-recommended R38 resistance to heat flow necessary for our climate.

As a result of our insulation upgrade, Nikki will experience a reduction of her heating and cooling costs by up to 30% and more comfortable temperatures in her home year-round for the life of her house.

Manuel contacted us because his 2400 sq. ft. home was expensive to keep cool during the summer months. Despite his high cooling costs and his air conditioner running constantly, his house never felt cool and comfortable. When we came out to inspect his attic, we found that Manuel's attic only had about 4 inches of insulation present, and there was old, dirty batting insulation scattered throughout the space. We determined that to help him achieve his goals of reducing his cooling costs and making his home more comfortable, a full attic restoration was the best option. 

We began by sucking out all of the old, dirty insulation and disposing of it. Next, we cleaned and sanitized the attic using DSV sanitizer to help eliminate the contaminants and irritants. We then installed rodent-proof barriers to prevent rodents and other pests from entering the attic. We also meticulously identified and air-sealed potential leakage points, including top plates, registers, recessed lights, and plumbing and wiring penetrations. The last step was blowing in 14 inches of premium, fiberglass insulation, which brought the attic to the Energy Star-recommended R38 level.

As a result of the comprehensive attic restoration we completed, Manuel and his family will enjoy a cool, comfortable home during the summer months, a warmer home in the winter, reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50%, and better indoor air quality for as long as they live in that home.

Jerod called Tyson Energy Solutions because his home was hot and stuffy even though his HVAC system was running constantly. He was frustrated by his high cooling costs, especially given that his home never really felt cool. We inspected his attic and found that he only had about 3-4 inches of insulation present, with the floor joists being visible through the insulation. This was a major contributing factor to his home's inability to stay cool, as heat was easily able to penetrate the wood and thin layer of insulation. We determined that a full attic restoration would best address Jerod's concerns.

We began by sucking out all of the old, contaminated insulation. We then used DSV sanitizer to clean and sanitize the attic to eliminate contaminants and irritants. Next, we installed rodent-proof barriers to prevent rodents and other pests from entering the attic, and we identified and air-sealed leakage points including: top plates, wiring and plumbing penetrations, registers, and recessed lights. The final step was blowing in 14 inches of fiberglass insulation to bring the attic up to the Energy Star-recommended R38 level.

Because of the work we did in Jerod's home, he and his family will enjoy reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50%, a cooler home during summer, a warmer home during winter, and better indoor air quality for as long as they reside in the home.
