Attic Restoration and Air-Sealing to Cut HVAC Bills in Half in Fresno, CA

Orin reached out to us because his home was struggling to stay cool during Fresno’s intense summer heat. Despite running his air conditioner frequently, the indoor temperature remained inconsistent, and his energy bills were soaring. Upon inspecting his attic, we discovered the root of the problem: only 4 inches of old, inefficient cellulose insulation, along with dust and debris that were contributing to poor indoor air quality and energy loss.

To restore Orin’s attic and improve his home’s overall efficiency, we started by removing all the existing insulation and thoroughly cleaning the space. We then sanitized the attic using Nisus DSV, a powerful disinfectant that eliminates bacteria, viruses, and allergens. Next, we meticulously sealed air leaks around top plates, plumbing penetrations, and wiring holes to prevent conditioned air from escaping into the attic. Additionally, we sealed off any potential rodent entry points to safeguard the attic from future infestations.

With the space cleaned and air-sealed, we installed brand-new, high-performance blown-in fiberglass insulation, bringing it up to the recommended R38 level. This upgrade will help regulate indoor temperatures year-round, ensuring Orin’s home stays cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter—all while reducing his energy costs.

Thanks to this attic restoration, Orin will enjoy a healthier, more comfortable home with improved energy efficiency for years to come!
