The homeowner called Tyson Energy Solutions seeking a resolution to his high cooling costs and a home that constantly felt hot and stuffy. He initially thought there was a problem with his air conditioner, but an HVAC technician had come out and told him his unit was fine, but that his insulation was low. When we inspected the attic, we confirmed this. The homeowner's attic had only 7 inches of insulation, far below the 14 inches recommended for our climate. Based on these facts, we determined that an insulation upgrade was in order.
We began by air-sealing visible leakage points to prevent the flow of air between the attic and the living spaces of the home. We then blew in 7 additional inches of fiberglass insulation, bringing the attic up to the Energy Star-recommended level.
As a result of our insulation upgrade, this homeowner and his family will enjoy a cooler home during summers, a warmer home during winters, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 30% for the life of their home.
Val contacted us because she was concerned that her home was constantly warm, despite the fact that her air conditioner was running constantly. Upon inspecting her attic, we found that she had only about 5 inches of insulation present. Because this was well below the Energy Star-recommended 14 inches, Val wanted to have her insulation upgraded as soon as possible.
We began by sealing visible air leakage points using closed-cell foam. This helped to mitigate the flow of air between the hot attic and the home's living spaces. Next, we blew in premium fiberglass insulation to a depth of 14 inches in order to bring Val's attic up to the current recommended standard.
As a result of the insulation upgrade, not only will Val and her family enjoy more comfortable temperatures in their home year-round, but also reduced heating and cooling costs for as long as they live in their home.
The homeowner had his roof replaced and discovered that his attic insulation was virtually nonexistent. He found Tyson Energy Solutions through our hundreds of 5-star Google reviews and wanted his insulation upgraded to bring it up to R38, the Energy Star-recommended level for our climate in the Fresno area. He was looking forward to having his attic properly insulated so that he could save money on his monthly heating and cooling bills and helping his home maintain a comfortable temperature year-round.
We began by air-sealing visible leakage points with closed-cell foam to help prevent airflow between the attic and the home's living spaces. We then blew in 12 inches of premium fiberglass insulation, bringing the attic up to current building codes. We were able to finish the job in about 2 hours.
As a result of the insulation upgrade, the homeowner and his family will enjoy a cooler, more comfortable home during summer, a warmer home in winter, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 30% for as long as they reside there.
Michael contacted us because he wanted to prepare his home for the upcoming summer months, anticipating the extreme heat of the Central Valley. Because of the rising costs of cooling his home in the summers, he wanted to ensure that his house was as energy-efficient as possible. When we inspected his attic, we found that he only had about 7-8 inches of old, dirty insulation -- well below the Energy Star-recommended 14 inches. We also saw evidence of rodent activity in his attic, which further contaminated the space. Given that he wanted his home as efficient as possible for summer, we determined that a complete attic restoration was in order.
We began the process by removing all of the old, contaminated insulation and disposing of it. We then cleaned and sanitized the entire attic using DSV sanitizer. Once the attic was fully cleaned, we used closed-cell foam to seal off air leakage points. This helps reduce the ability of air to transfer between the attic and the living spaces of the home. We also installed rodent-proof barriers to prevent rodents and other pests from entering the attic again. Lastly, we blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to a depth of 14 inches, bringing the home up to recommended standards.
As a result of our comprehensive attic restoration process, Michael and his family will experience reduced heating and cooling bills by up to 30% year-round. They will also enjoy a cooler, more comfortable home in the summers, a warmer home in the winters, and better indoor air quality since contaminants and irritants won't be freely flowing from the attic into the home.
Lori reached out to us because she was searching for a solution to her high cooling costs. Because her home felt uncomfortably warm during the extreme Central Valley summers, Lori felt like she had no other solution than to run her air conditioner constantly. She said that she felt her home wasn't retaining the cool air, so her AC was turning on and off frequently throughout the day. We conducted an attic audit in her home and found that her insulation was low with only about 6 inches present. Lori decided to have us perform an insulation upgrade and add an additional 10 inches of insulation to bring her attic to an R49 level.
The job was only about 2 hours altogether. We expertly placed attic markers around the attic to ensure that we could accurately measure the amount of insulation to add. We then blew in an additional 10 inches of fiberglass insulation.
After the insulation upgrade, Lori and her family now enjoy a cooler home temperature during the summer months. Her home will also be warm and cozy during the winter, and her monthly heating and cooling costs will be lower by up to 30% for as long as she resides there.
