Tyson Energy Solutions Before & After Photos

Jacob contacted us because his house felt hot and stuffy. Because of this, he would turn his thermostat down to 74 degrees in an attempt to keep his house cool during the summer, but still the temperature would climb to 80 degrees in his home. When we came and inspected his attic, we saw the root problem: there was only 6 inches of insulation present, well below the R38 (14 inches) recommended by Energy Star for our climate. We decided to upgrade his insulation to R38 in order to reduce his cooling costs and get his home feeling cool and comfortable.

We began by air-sealing visible leakage points with closed-cell foam to help mitigate the flow of air between the living spaces of the home and the attic. Next we blew in fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, or 14 inches.

Because of the insulation upgrade we performed, Jacob and his family will enjoy a cooler, more comfortable home during the summer, a warmer home during winters, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 30% for the life of the house.

Dan contacted us because his cooling bills during the summer were extremely high. His air conditioner ran constantly to try to keep up with the heat, but during the Central Valley summers, it just wasn't able to keep the home cool. When we inspected the attic, we discovered that a large portion was blocked off an inaccessible, and the portion that was accessible only had about 6 inches of insulation present. We also found a broken HVAC duct that was leaking air and many smaller ducts whose insulation had deteriorated and fallen off the ducts, leaving them exposed to the extreme attic heat. Dan decided that he wanted the insulation upgrade to an R38 level in order to help reduce his cooling costs and help his home stay cool during the summer. We also made the plan to replace the main HVAC duct and repair the smaller ducts using mastic.

We began the insulation upgrade by air-sealing visible leakage points using closed-cell foam. This is done to help keep air from traveling between the attic and the living spaces of the home. After that, we replaced the main HVAC duct and repaired the smaller ducts' insulation using mastic. Lastly, we blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, or 13 inches of Knauf insulation.

Because of the insulation upgrade we performed, Dan and his wife will enjoy a cool, comfortable home during summer, a warmer home during winter, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 25-30% for as long as they remain in that house.

Rudy contacted us because his home was hot and stuffy during the summer and frigid during the winter. He was also concerned about the presence of rodents in his attic. We came out and inspected the attic and found that there was about 6-7 inches of old, dirty insulation present. In many places in the attic, the attic floor was even bare. In addition, we found evidence of rodent activity, including rodent droppings. We determined that Rudy was best served by a comprehensive attic restoration.

We began by vacuuming out all of the old, contaminated insulation and cleaning and sanitizing the attic. We then meticulously identified air leakage points and air-sealed them using closed-cell foam. This included all top plates, registers, recessed lights, and plumbing and wiring penetrations. This is done to prevent airflow between the attic and home's living spaces. We also installed rodent-proof barriers to prevent rodents and other pests from entering the attic. Lastly, we blew in 14 inches of premium, fiberglass insulation, bringing the attic up to an R38 level as recommended by Energy Star.

As a result of the work we did, Rudy and his family will enjoy a number of benefits: a cool, comfortable home in summer, a warm home in winter, better indoor air quality and less dust, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50% for as long as they live in the home.

The homeowner contacted us because his home was hot and stuffy in the summer and chilly in the winter. He was frustrated and looking for a way to help his home maintain a comfortable temperature without running his HVAC system constantly. Our home comfort pro came out and thoroughly examined his attic and found that there was only about 2-3 inches of insulation in the attic, which was nowhere near what is needed for our climate in order to help a home retain its conditioned air. We determined that we needed to upgrade the insulation to help the homeowner achieve a comfortable temperature while also reducing his reliance on his HVAC system.

We first air-sealed visible leakage points in the attic using closed-cell foam to help keep the attic air and living space air separate. Then we blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, which is what Energy Star recommends for our Central Valley climate.

Now, the homeowner experiences a cooler, less stuffy home during the summer. He will also enjoy a warmer home in the colder months and his HVAC costs will be lowered by up to 30% for the remainder of the time that he lives in that house.

Brian contacted us because he had a unique insulation project and was looking for an experienced and highly-rated insulation company to help. He discovered Tyson Energy Solutions through our hundreds of 5-star Google reviews and had us come to check out his attic. We thoroughly inspected his attic and explained that he needed to add more insulation to the attic and insulate the roof deck and knee walls with fiberglass batting to achieve his goals. 

We took the following steps to expertly complete the project in Brian's unique home:

- we removed the old batting insulation that had fallen off and become compromised

- we added fiberglass batting to his roof deck and all of the knee walls in his attic

- we blew in premium, fiberglass insulation

Brian was extremely pleased with how the project went. He noticed that his home was cooler and more comfortable in the Central Valley heat and his cooling costs were reduced by about 30%. He will also experience reduced heating costs and a quieter home due to the extensive amount of insulation that was installed.
