Tyson Energy Solutions Before & After Photos

The homeowner contacted us because his house was extremely hot -- up to 84 degrees -- despite the fact that his air conditioner was running constantly. When we came out and inspected his attic, we found that his insulation was low, only about 3 inches. Because he was concerned about the temperature as well as his summer energy bills becoming unmanageable, we determined an insulation upgrade was the best course of action.

We began by air-sealing visible air leakage points with closed-cell foam. This helps to prevent air from traveling between the attic and the living spaces of the home. Then, we blew in Johns Manville premium, fiberglass insulation to a depth of 14 inches to bring the attic up to the Energy Star-recommended R38 protection.

As a result of the insulation upgrade, the homeowner and his family get to enjoy a more comfortable home, reduced heating and cooling costs year-round, and an HVAC system that is able to run more efficiently for as long as they live in their home.

Ron reached out to Tyson Energy Solutions because he had an HVAC technician to come out to his house to fix his AC during the summer, only to be told that there was no issue with his HVAC system. He was referred to us, and when we came out to his home, he told us that his house constantly felt hot and his air conditioner ran constantly. We determined that a whole house fan would best serve his needs.

We first inspected his attic and found the ideal location to place the fan. Next, we installed the QuietCool Stealth Pro 5.5 whole house fan. Lastly, we demonstrated to Ron how to use the fan's wireless, 3-speed timer remote.

We checked back with Ron the next day and he said that he loved his whole house fan, and that just the first day after installation, he didn't have to turn on his AC until noon, whereas it normally would have already been running at 8:00 am. Not only will the whole house fan help keep Ron's home cooler, but it will improve his indoor air quality and reduce his dependency on his air conditioner by up to 50%.

Chris contacted us because he was interested in adding more insulation in his attic. His home felt hot and stuffy, even with the AC running at full blast all day, and he believed the issue was with his attic insulation. When we came out and took a look in his attic, we found that he was correct; Chris's attic only had about 4 inches of insulation present. His floor joists were visible through the existing insulation, which meant they were able to conduct heat from the attic into the home. We determined that an insulation upgrade was the best option to help make Chris's home more comfortable, while also reducing his AC usage.

We began by using closed-cell foam to air-seal visible leakage points. This helps mitigate the flow of air between the attic and the home's living spaces. We then blew in fiberglass insulation to a height of 14 inches, providing R38 resistance to heat flow -- the Energy Star-recommended level.

Because of the insulation upgrade, Chris and his family will enjoy a cooler home during summers, a warmer home during winters, and reduced HVAC usage by up to 30% for as long as they live in their home.

Christopher contacted us because he was frustrated that his home constantly felt hot, stuffy, and uncomfortable during the summer months. He also confirmed that his home felt cold during the winter, regardless of what his thermostat was set to. When we inspected Christopher's attic, we discovered that there was only 3 inches of insulation present. Because of the low insulation, he was losing about 25% of his conditioned air through leakage between his attic and the living spaces of his home. We determined that an insulation upgrade was his best option to help keep his home's temperature comfortable while also reducing his heating and cooling costs substantially.

We started the insulation upgrade by air-sealing visible leakage points. This helps prevent air from freely flowing between the attic and the living spaces of the home. We then blew in 11 inches of premium, fiberglass insulation to bring it to an R38 level. This is the Energy Star recommended level for our climate that's needed to keep temperatures in the home comfortable.

As a result of the work we performed, Christopher and his family will enjoy reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 30% and significantly more comfortable indoor temperatures year-round for as long as they live in that home.

Lauren contacted us because her home constantly felt hot and stuffy, despite the fact that her cooling costs were skyrocketing. She felt that her air conditioner was running constantly, yet her home never really felt cool. When we inspected her attic, we found that she only had minimal batting insulation present. Batts are inefficient to insulate an attic because they don't provide the Energy Star-recommended R38 level of protection, and also because air is able to easily flow between the batts. We determined that Lauren's goals would be achieved through an insulation upgrade.

We began by air-sealing visible leakage points to help prevent air from flowing between the attic and the living spaces of the home. We then blew in fiberglass insulation to 14 inches, or R38.

As a result of our insulation upgrade, Lauren and her family will experience a much cooler, more comfortable home during summers, a warmer home during winters, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 30% for as long as they live in the home.
