Tyson Energy Solutions Before & After Photos

The homeowner reached out to Tyson Energy Solutions because she was experiencing painfully high cooling costs that seemed to be increasing every year. In addition, she reported that her air conditioner was kicking on frequently, yet didn't seem to ever cool the house sufficiently. She also reported having allergies to the dust that was constantly on every surface in her home.

Upon inspection of her attic, we discovered that she only had 2-3 inches of dirty, old, cellulose insulation in the home, likely the remnants of what was installed in the house when it was built in 1974. We determined that the best course of action to relieve her high energy bills and temperature discomfort was to do an attic restoration and install a QuietCool Smart Gable Attic Fan.

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 the attic was cleaned, we identified 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 doing so, 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. 

We then 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. 

Lastly, we installed the QuietCool Smart Gable Attic Fan 3.0, which sucks cool air from outside the attic, thus further reducing the temperature and likelihood of heat transfer within the home.

The homeowner was thrilled with the results. Not only did she notice an immediate difference in the temperature, comfort, and air quality of her home, but her cooling costs were reduced by 75% in the first month after we performed the work. She will now get to enjoy lower heating and cooling costs and a more comfortable home for the life of her house.

Elsa contacted us during a ferocious Central Valley summer heat wave. Although her thermostat was set to 77, it was getting up to 83 degrees inside of her house, despite running her air conditioner all day. We took a look in her attic and found the culprit: low insulation. With only 3 inches of insulation protecting her home from the scorching attic heat, it was no wonder her HVAC system wasn't able to work effectively. We determined that an insulation upgrade was the best route for Elsa.

We began by air-sealing visible leakage points with closed-cell foam to prevent air from leaking between the attic and the home's living spaces. We then blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to a height of 14 inches, bringing the attic to the Energy Star recommendation of R38.

As a result of the insulation upgrade, Elsa and her family will enjoy a much cooler home during the summers, a warmer home during the winters, and she will cut her monthly heating and cooling costs by up to 30% for as long as she stays in that home.

This customer was seeking help with his energy bills. We performed an insulation upgrade bringing the insulation from 3 inches to 14 inches. 

The homeowner reached out to Tyson Energy Solutions because he had a new home built and wanted us to insulate his attic. When we began, the attic had no insulation, which is not up to code and would also result in a very uncomfortable home; very hot during the summer and cold during the winter.

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. We also sealed holes and gaps in the attic to prevent air leakage between the attic and the living spaces of the home.

As a result, the homeowner will now experience lower heating and cooling costs and a more comfortable home for the life of the house.

Thomas contacted us because his house was hot and uncomfortable. He had recently had his HVAC system inspected and knew that it was working fine, so he called Tyson Energy Solutions to come check his attic. Upon inspection, we found that Thomas's attic was severely low, with less than 4 inches of old, dirty insulation. It was no wonder he thought his air conditioner was broken since there was no way it could cool his home with insulation that low.

We upgraded his insulation up to R38 level, or 14 inches, by blowing in premium, fiberglass insulation. We sealed any visible air leakage points as an additional layer of protection. 

As a result of his insulation upgrade, Thomas's home is now much more comfortable and he will be able to enjoy lower heating and cooling bills for the life of his home!
