Attic Restoration and Duct Replacement – Insulation Removal, Air-Sealing, and Blown In Fiberglass in Fresno, CA

Dan first learned about the benefits of an attic restoration when he received a mailer from Tyson Energy Solutions at his home. He was intrigued at the prospect of making his home healthier, maintaining a comfortable temperature year-round, and being able to offset the cost of the work through savings on his heating and cooling costs. He called us to inspect his attic and we found that he only had about 2 inches of old, dirty insulation present with substantial roofing debris present, which is a fire hazard. In addition, Dan’s HVAC ducts were also old and broken, allowing contaminated air to leak into his home and conditioned air to leak into his attic. Once we showed him the pictures of his attic and ducts and the issues they had, Dan decided to replace all of the ducts and have us perform a full attic restoration.

We began by sucking out all of the old, dirty insulation and replacing the old ducts with new, R-6 flex ducts. Once the attic was bare, we cleaned and sanitized the space with DSV sanitizer. We then ir-sealed the floor of the attic to prevent airflow from occurring between the attic and the home. We also installed rodent-proof barriers to keep rodents and other pests out of the attic. We blew in 13 inches of premium, fiberglass insulation and then built a barrier around the attic access, in order to prevent insulation from falling into the home when the access was opened. 

As a result of the comprehensive work we did, Dan will experience the following benefits:

– a cool, comfortable home, free of humidity during summers

– a warm, cozy home during winters

– reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50%, which offsets his monthly cost of having this work done

– improved indoor air quality

– less dust in his home

– a more efficient HVAC system

– a more valuable home should he ever decide to sell it
