Tyson Energy Solutions Before & After Photos

The homeowner called Tyson Energy Solutions because even though he had a whole house fan, but he still felt his home was hot during the summer months. We inspected his attic and found that his insulation was lacking; he only had about 8 inches, well below the Energy Star recommended 14 inches. Knowing that the hottest parts of the summer were upcoming, we decided to perform an insulation upgrade to protect his home from the extreme summer heat of the Central Valley.

We increased the level of insulation in the attic by blowing in premium, Johns Manville fiberglass insulation to a depth of 14 inches. We also sealed holes, gaps, and cracks in the attic to prevent air from leaking between the attic and the living spaces of the home.

As a result of the insulation upgrade, this homeowner and his family can now enjoy a more comfortable home and lower heating and cooling costs year-round for as long as they live in their home.

This homeowner reached out to us because the living room and dining room spaces of her home were very hot and uncomfortable. She also complained that those areas of the home got very dusty and were just generally unpleasant to be in. When we inspected her attic, we found that there was virtually no insulation in those areas of the attic, maybe an inch or so, with plenty of debris and evidence of rodent activity. Once we explained how this was the cause of the temperature discomfort in the areas of the home, as well as the dustiness, we decided that an attic restoration was the correct remedy for these issues.

We began by extracting and disposing of the old insulation and debris that littered the attic. We then cleaned and sanitized the attic using  a concentrated disinfectant and sanitizer. We then 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, registers, and can lights. Sealing the attic prevents 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 then cleared the soffit vents to ensure improved ventilation of the attic space.

Once the attic was clean and sealed, we blew in premium, Johns Manville fiberglass insulation to a height of 14 inches. This provided the Energy Star recommended R38 level of insulation. 

As a result of the work we did in the attic, this homeowner and her family noticed an immediate difference in the dustiness and air quality in their home. They will also enjoy a more comfortable home and lower heating and cooling bills for as long as they remain in that house.

We elevated the insulation thickness from just 6 inches to a substantial 14 inches. This substantial upgrade ensures maximum energy efficiency and brings unparalleled comfort to your home. Revel in the remarkable difference this enhanced insulation will make in optimizing your space!

The homeowner contacted Tyson Energy Solutions because of his concern over rising energy costs and the fact that his home had been so hot in prior years. Because of the cost associated with running his HVAC system in his large home, he knew he needed to take action before the summer hit in Clovis. We came out and inspected his attic and found that it only had batting insulation, which is not effective for preventing hot attic air from traveling into the living spaces of the home. We determined that an insulation upgrade was needed to achieve his goals of a more energy and cost-efficient home.

We achieved the Energy Star-recommended R38 level by blowing in premium fiberglass insulation to a height of 14 inches. Because it was blown in, it fills all of the nooks and crannies which were present with the batting insulation that he had. We also air-sealed visible air leakage points to help prevent air from traveling between the attic and the living spaces of the home. 

As a result of the insulation upgrade that we performed, the homeowner and his family will be able to enjoy a cooler, more comfortable home in the summer, a warmer home in the winter, and reduced heating and cooling costs for the life of their house.

The homeowner contacted us because her home was extremely hot and it was expensive to run her air conditioner in her 3300 square foot home. She was eager to find a way to reduce her cooling costs. When we inspected her attic, we found that she only had about 4-5 inches of old, dirty, cellulose insulation in her attic. Not only was this insufficient to keep her home insulated and cool during the summer months, but it was also creating a lot of dust in the home. We determined that a full attic restoration was the best option to address her needs.

We began by sucking out all of the old, cellulose insulation and disposing of it. We then cleaned and sanitized the attic using DSV sanitizer to eliminate contaminants and irritants. Next, we thoroughly sealed air leakage points such as top plates, registers, recessed lights, and plumbing and wiring penetrations. During this process, we also installed rodent-proof barriers at potential entry points to prevent rodents and other animals from entering the attic. Lastly, we blew in 14 inches of fiberglass insulation, bringing the attic up to the Energy Star-recommended R38 level of protection.

As a result of our attic restoration, Nora and her husband will enjoy a cooler home during summer, a warmer home during winter, much less dust in the home, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50% for as long as they live in the house.
