2000 sq. ft. attic restoration and attic fan installation in Merced, CA
Lynne reached out to Tyson because her home felt frigid in the winter and warm and stuffy in the summer. She was looking for relief from the discomfort as well as her high heating and cooling bills. We came out and inspected her attic and discovered the reason for the temperature discomfort: her attic had only 3 inches of old cellulose insulation present. There were dozens of air leakage points visible through the low insulation. We determined that a full attic restoration was necessary to help her lower her bills and make her home comfortable.
We began by vacuuming out all of the old insulation. We then cleaned and sanitized the attic using DSV sanitizer, eliminating the contaminants, irritants, and odors. We then air-sealed the attic floor to close up all of the holes, gaps, and cracks allowing airflow between the attic and the home’s living spaces. We also installed rodent-proof barriers to prevent rodents and other pests from entering the attic. Lastly, we blew in premium fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, which is Energy Star’s recommendation for our Central Valley climate.
As a result of the extensive work we did for Lynne, she will now enjoy the following benefits:
- better indoor air quality.
- reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50%.
- a warm, cozy home in winter and a cool, comfortable home in summer.
- increased resale value of her home should she ever decide to sell it.
