Attic Restoration and Whole House Fan in 1200 Sq. Ft., 90 Year Old House in Fresno, CA

David contacted us because he had just moved to a new house. At his previous house, we had done an attic restoration for him and he loved the results, so he wanted the same thing done at his new house as well. He noticed that his home was hot and stuffy during the summer months, and as a result, his cooling costs were high. He also wanted a whole house fan installed so that it would make his home even more comfortable and help reduce his air conditioner dependency even further.

We began by sucking out all of the old insulation and removing the debris in the attic. We then painstakingly air-sealed all of the holes, gaps, and cracks in the attic using closed-cell foam. This included all top plates, recessed lights, registers, and wiring and plumbing penetrations. Next, we cleaned the attic using DSV sanitizer to eliminate irritants and contaminants. We also installed rodent-proof barriers to prevent rodents and other pests from entering the attic. We then blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to an R38 level. Lastly, we installed a QuietCool Stealth Pro 4.8 whole house fan.

As a result of the work we performed, David will enjoy a cool, comfortable home during summer, a warm home in winter, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50-90% for as long as he lives in that home.
