Tyson Energy Solutions Before & After Photos

Hilary contacted us because she'd had an HVAC technician at her house, but he told her that her air conditioner wasn't faulty, she was just low on insulation. When we came out and inspected her attic, we found that she was indeed low; she had only 5 inches of insulation present in her attic. We determined that to help Hilary achieve her goals of a cool, more comfortable home and lower cooling bills, an insulation upgrade was the best option.

We began by air-sealing visible leakage points using closed-cell foam. This helps to prevent air from flowing between the home's living spaces and the attic. We also built a barrier around her attic access to ensure that insulation would not spill out of the attic access. We then blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, bringing her attic to the Energy Star-recommended level.

Because of the work that we completed for Hilary, she and her family will now enjoy a cool, comfortable home during the summers, a warmer home during winters, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 30% for the life of their house.

Jerome contacted Tyson because his home was constantly hot and stuffy in the summer and frigid in the winter. He was frustrated because he was constantly running his HVAC system in an attempt to keep his home a comfortable temperature and humidity level. When we inspected his attic, we discovered that Jerome only had about 6 inches of insulation. This was the root of his home's temperature discomfort and high heating and cooling costs. We decided that an insulation upgrade would be the best option for Jerome and his family to achieve their goals.

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

Because of the insulation upgrade, Jerome and his family will experience a more comfortable home temperature year-round and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 30% for as long as they live in the home.

Jacob attended the Home Show in Fresno at the beginning of the year and discovered Tyson Energy Solutions. After learning more about how an attic restoration could benefit him, he asked Tyson to come and take a look at his attic to see how a restoration might benefit him. We scheduled a time to inspect his attic and found that he only had about 3-4 inches of old insulation present. After seeing the pictures of how under-insulated his attic was, Jacob decided to go ahead and have us do a full attic restoration in order to make his home more comfortable and improve his indoor air quality.

The attic restoration process went through the following steps:

1) Remove the old, dirty insulation.

2) Clean and sanitize the attic to eliminate irritants and contaminants.

3) Air-seal leakage points including top plates, registers, recessed lights, and plumbing and wiring penetrations.

4) Install rodent-proof barriers at potential entry points.

5) Blow-in 14 inches of new fiberglass insulation to an R38 level.

Jacob's home is now easily able to retain its conditioned air all year round. This means that not only is his home cool during summer and toasty during winter, but his indoor air quality is also greatly improved. Jacob can be confident that his attic will remain rodent-free and his heating and cooling costs will be lowered by up to 50% for the life of his home.

Garrett contacted us because his home was uncomfortably hot and he believed the issue to be his insulation. His air conditioner was struggling to keep his home cool and ran constantly, and as a result, his cooling bills were astronomical. When we inspected his attic, we found that he had little to no insulation in most areas of his attic, with the highest spots being about 2-3 inches. This was directly causing his air conditioner to have to run all the time, and was actually also heating the conditioned air even before it entered the home. We determined that upgrading his insulation to R49, or 18 inches, was the best solution for his cooling problems.

We began by air-sealing visible air leakage points using closed-cell foam to help prevent the air from flowing from his attic into his home. We then blew in fiberglass insulation to a height of 18 inches.

As a result of the insulation upgrade, Garrett will enjoy reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 30% as well as more comfortable temperatures in his home year-round for as long as he lives there.

Alan met Chris Tyson at the Fresno Home Show and learned about the services Tyson offers. He wanted to make his home more energy-efficient, comfortable, and affordable. We came out and inspected his attic and found that his insulation was low, with only about 3 inches present. Alan was excited to make upgrades to his home, so he opted to have us perform every service possible, which included an attic restoration, installation of an attic fan and whole house fan, and adding window film in his home.

We took the following steps for this extensive project:

- vacuumed out the old insulation

- cleaned and sanitized the attic using DSV sanitizer

- air-sealed the attic floor including top plates, recessed lights, registers, and plumbing and wiring penetrations

- installed rodent-proof barriers to prevent rodents from entering

- installed the QuietCool Trident 7.0 whole house fan

- installed the QuietCool Solar Roof Mount Attic Fan

- blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, which is the current Energy Star-recommended level for our climate here in the Fresno area

- installed window film on all of Alan's windows

As a result of this comprehensive and extensive project, Alan will enjoy the following benefits for as long as he lives in that home:

- reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50-90%

- a cool, comfortable home during summer and a warm, toasty home in winter

- better indoor air quality

- less reliance and strain on his HVAC system which will extend its life

- extended life of his roof due to less extreme temperature fluctuation

- a higher resale value of his home in case he ever decides to sell
