Tyson Energy Solutions Before & After Photos

The homeowner called us because he was concerned about his home being hot and uncomfortable and his cooling bills being high during the upcoming summer months. We inspected his attic and found that he only had about 6 inches of old insulation present. 

We upgraded the homeowner's attic to the Energy Star recommended R49 level by increasing his insulation to 18 inches using our blown-in, premium Johns Manville fiberglass insulation. We also air-sealed any openings we saw using closed-cell foam. This was done to prevent air from transferring between the attic and the living spaces of his home. We cleared the soffit vents to ensure improved ventilation of the attic space.

The combination of air sealing and bringing the insulation up to 18 inches will allow this homeowner to experience a more comfortable home and lower heating and cooling bills year-round for the life of the home.

The homeowner called Tyson Energy Solutions because their energy bills were high and their home felt uncomfortably warm during the extreme heat of summer in the Central Valley. Upon inspection, we discovered that their insulation did not meet the Energy Star recommended level, which was contributing to energy loss in his home.

We increased the level of insulation in the attic by blowing in premium, Johns Manville fiberglass insulation to a height of 14 inches. This brought the attic up to 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.

Since our premium fiberglass insulation doesn't settle over time, this homeowner will be able to enjoy the lower heating and cooling costs and a more comfortable home for the life of his house.

We were called out to Hanford, CA by a homeowner who was complaining of high energy bills, an extremely hot house, and having issues with indoor air quality. We visited his house and performed an attic inspection which revealed a neglected attic: old, dirty insulation, old roofing debris scattered throughout the attic, and multiple points of air leakage.

We explained to him that all of these issues are caused by a contaminated, leaky attic and can be easily remedied with an attic restoration.

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 we had a clean attic to work with, 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 sealing the attic, it prevents 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.

Now the homeowner and his family enjoy a comfortable home all year round, with no more dust flowing into the house causing allergies, and their heating and cooling costs will be reduced for their home's lifetime.

The homeowner contacted us because he recently purchased a home and it felt very hot and uncomfortable in the summer heat, even with the air conditioner running on full blast. Upon inspection of his attic, we found that his attic contained less than 3 inches of insulation, well below the current standards. We determined that we needed to perform an insulation upgrade in order to make his home more comfortable and keep his cooling bills low during the intense Central Valley summers.

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 of the insulation upgrade, this homeowner will enjoy a more comfortable home and lower heating and cooling costs for the life of his home.

Hailey contacted us because her home was uncomfortably hot during the summers and cold during winters. She believed the issue had to due with her insulation but had never been up in her attic. She was desperate to improve her home's comfort prior to the summer. We came out and inspected her attic and found that she had about 4 inches of old insulation, which was not sufficient to keep her house cool. As a result, her air conditioner was having to work overtime to help compensate, leading to extremely high cooling bills. We determined that an insulation upgrade and whole house fan would solve these issues for her.

We began by identifying the ideal spot to place the QuietCool Trident 4.8 and installed it in that location. We then air-sealed visible air leakage points using closed-cell foam to help prevent the flow of air between the home's living spaces and the attic. Lastly, we blew in fiberglass insulation to bring Hailey's home to R38 level, or 14 inches.

As a result of the insulation upgrade and whole house fan installation, Hailey and her family will enjoy a cooler, more comfortable home, and reduced cooling costs by up to 90%. Their home will also be more comfortable in winter, and the resale value of their home may be increased because of these upgrades.
