Tyson Energy Solutions Before & After Photos

Antonio contacted us because he had just purchased a home and he immediately noticed that it was incredibly hot and stuffy during the intense heat of the Central Valley summer. At first, he thought the issue was his HVAC system, but he'd had an HVAC technician inspect his system and he found no problems. He mentioned that his insulation was low, so Antonio called Tyson. We came out and took a look in his attic and found that the home only had about 3 inches of insulation present. This was the root cause of his home's temperature discomfort. We decided that an attic restoration was needed to help Antonio achieve his goals of a cool, comfortable home and also reduced cooling costs.

We began by sucking out all of the old, contaminated insulation and sanitizing the attic with DSV sanitizer. We then meticulously air-sealed all leakage points. This included all top plates, registers, recessed lights, and wiring and plumbing penetrations. This is done to prevent airflow between the attic and the home's living spaces. We also installed rodent-proof barriers in the attic to prevent rodents and other pests from entering. Lastly, we blew in 14 inches of fiberglass insulation to bring the attic to the Energy Star-recommended R38 level of protection from heat transfer.

As a result of the thorough attic restoration we completed, Antonion now enjoys a cool, comfortable home in summer, a warm, cozy home in winter, better indoor air quality, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50% for as long as he lives in that home.

The homeowner contacted Tyson Energy Solutions because his 1600 sq. ft. home was uncomfortably hot in the summer and frigid in the winter. Additionally, the homeowner's young children were suffering from bad allergies year-round. Upon inspection of the attic, we discovered that not only was the insulation in the attic old and dirty, but six ducts for the HVAC system had eroded and were leaking air into the living spaces of the home from the attic.

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. Next, 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, we prevented air 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.

Lastly, we blew in new, premium Johns Manville fiberglass insulation to a height of 14 inches. This provided the Energy Star recommended R38 level of insulation. 

This homeowner and his family will now experience healthier indoor air, reduced heating and cooling costs, and a more comfortable temperature in their home year-round for the life of their house.

The homeowner contacted us because his home was uncomfortably hot. He had already called the HVAC repairman but was told there was nothing wrong with his AC. The repairman told him it was likely an issue with his insulation. When we inspected his home, we found that the attic only had about 4-5 inches of old insulation present. We determined that by upgrading his insulation, he would have a much more comfortable home.

We began the insulation upgrade by air-sealing visible air leakage points. This helps to prevent air from moving between the attic and the living spaces of the home. Next, we brought his insulation up to R38, or 14 inches, by blowing in premium, fiberglass insulation. This brought the home up to current building code and Energy Star recommendations.

As a result of the insulation upgrade, the homeowner and his family will enjoy a cooler home during summers, a warmer home during winters, and reduced heating and cooling costs for the life of their home.

LuLu contacted us because her home was constantly hot and uncomfortable despite the fact that she ran her air conditioner constantly. As a result of her high HVAC usage, her cooling costs were extremely high. When we inspected her attic, we found that she only had about 5-6 inches of old, dirty insulation present. Since the insulation was so dirty, we knew that there was significant air leakage occurring. In order to make her home more comfortable and also reduce her cooling costs, we determined that a full attic restoration was needed.

We began by sucking out all of the old insulation. We then cleaned and sanitized the whole attic using DSV sanitizer in order to eliminate contaminants and irritants. Next, we located potential rodent entry points and installed barriers to prevent them from entering the attic. At the same time, we also meticulously air-sealed potential leakage points to prevent the air from traveling between the living spaces of the home and the attic. Lastly, we blew in new, fiberglass insulation to a level of R38, or 14 inches. 

As a result of the attic restoration, LuLu will experience better indoor air quality, reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50%, and a more temperate, comfortable home year-round for the life of her house.

The customer called Tyson Energy Solutions because he was remodeling his home and knew he had old, dirty insulation in his attic. As part of a two step process, he wanted to remove the old insulation, do some remodeling and repairs in the attic, and then have us blow in our premium fiberglass insulation at a later date. He also wanted to have his ducts cleaned so that the home would be starting off with a clean slate.

We expertly removed all of the old insulation, which was dirty and was not effectively insulating the attic from the extreme heat of the Central Valley summers. We also cleaned the air ducts using RamAir Duct Cleaning System, which uses compressed air to efficiently eliminate dust, debris, and contaminants from air ducts.

The attic and ducts are undoubtedly cleaner than they were before, and we can't wait to move to step two of the project, which is cleaning and sanitizing the attic, air sealing any leakage points, and blowing in the new insulation. Once this process is completed, the home will have healthier air, be more comfortable, and have lower energy bills for the life of the home.
