1150 Square Foot Home Gets R38 Insulation Upgrade with Blown In Fiberglass in Tollhouse, CA

Doreen contacted us because her cooling costs were astronomical during a particularly brutal summer. Her air conditioner was running constantly, yet her house still felt hot and stuffy. We came out and inspected her attic and found that she only had 5 inches of insulation present. We determined that an insulation upgrade was necessary to help her reduce her heating and cooling costs and help her home feel more comfortable.

We began by air-sealing visible leakage points using closed-cell foam. We then blew in bout 9 inches of premium, fiberglass insulation, bringing her attic to the Energy Star-recommended R38 level.

As a result of the insulation upgrade, Doreen and her family will enjoy a cool, comfortable home in the summertime, and warm home in the winter, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 25% for as long as they reside in that home.
