The homeowner contacted us because their attic had zero insulation and they desperately needed insulation added in order to keep their home a comfortable temperature and keep their heating and cooling bills low. We came out and inspected their attic and found that their insulation was indeed absent. It looked like the previous owner had begun to upgrade the attic but never completed the project. We determined that an insulation upgrade was needed to help the homeowner achieve their goals.
We air-sealed leakage points with closed-cell foam to prevent airflow between the attic and home's living spaces. We then blew in 14 inches of fiberglass insulation to bring the attic to an R38 level, which is the recommendation for our climate from Energy Star.
Because of the work we performed, the homeowner and his family will now enjoy a cool, comfortable home in summer, a warm home in winter, better indoor air quality, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50% for as long as they reside in their home.
Jose contacted Tyson Energy Solutions because he felt that his home was not staying warm during the winter and not staying cool during the summer. With rising energy costs, Jose was eager to address the problem. We came out and examined his attic and found that he had less than 6 inches of insulation. In some areas, there were bare spots, which led to certain areas of his home becoming hotter or colder than others. We determined that a comprehensive attic restoration was the best solution to address Jose's concerns.
We began by removing all of the old insulation, then cleaning and sanitizing the attic with DSV sanitizer. This serves to eliminate microbes and contaminants in the attic and improves indoor air quality. We then meticulously air-sealed the attic, including the recessed lighting, wiring and plumbing penetrations, and registers. We also installed rodent-proof barriers at potential entry points in order to keep rodents and other animals from entering the space. Once the attic was sealed, we blew in premium, Johns Manville fiberglass insulation to R38 level, or 14 inches, according to Energy Star recommendations. We took care not to block any of the attic vents, in order to preserve proper ventilation.
As a result of our complete attic restoration, not only will Jose and his family experience a more comfortable and healthier home, but they will also enjoy reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 20% for as long as they live there.
Joseph contacted Tyson Energy Solutions because he was looking to reduce his heating and cooling costs. The previous homeowner had removed all of the old insulation but never replaced it, leaving the home feeling hot and stuffy during summer and frigid during winter. When we came and inspected his attic, we discovered that the attic was indeed bare. We determined that an insulation upgrade to R38 was Joseph's best option to help reduce his bills and keep his home comfortable.
We began by air-sealing visible leakage points. We then blew in premium fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, bringing the attic to the Energy Star recommendation for our Central Valley climate.
As a result of the work we did, Joseph and his family will now enjoy reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 30% and a more comfortable temperature in their home year-round.
Danny had recently added 600 sq. ft. to his home in Ahwahnee and needed to install insulation. He discovered Tyson Energy Solutions from our hundreds of 5-star Google reviews and was impressed. He reached out to us and we were able to come out within a week to add insulation to his home.
When we began, there was literally no insulation present, so we blew in 14 inches of premium fiberglass insulation to bring the home to an R38 level, which is the Energy Star-recommended level for our climate here in the Fresno area.
As a result of the work we performed, the new addition to Danny's home will be cooler and more comfortable during summer, warmer during winter, and his heating and cooling costs will be reduced by up to 25% for as long as he lives in the home.
For this special project, we used blown-in premium fiberglass insulation for an 1130 sq. ft. attic in order to keep the home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. At the homeowner's request, we also added batting insulation to the vaulted ceiling to a value of R30, which will help this unique home to keep comfortable even in extreme temperatures. Batting insulation was also added to exterior and interior walls. Overall, this home is now going to enjoy lower heating and cooling costs and more comfort year-round!
