Attic restoration in 1500 sq. ft. home – old insulation removal, air sealing, and new blown in fiberglass in Fresno, CA

Regina heard about Tyson Energy Solutions from her sister, who’d gotten an attic restoration done and was thrilled with the results. Regina reached out to us, hoping to lower her heating and cooling costs and help keep her home a more comfortable temperature year-round. When we inspected her attic, we found that she only had about 3-4 inches of old, loose-fill cellulose and fiberglass batting present, with dozens of air leakage points visible. We determined that an attic restoration was just what Regina needed to help her achieve her goals.

We took the following steps in Regina’s attic restoration:

• vacuumed out all the old cellulose loose-fill and fiberglass batting.
• cleaned and sanitized the attic to eliminate odors, irritants, and contaminants.
• air-sealed the attic floor including all top plates, plumbing and wiring penetrations, registers, and recessed lights.
• installed rodent-proof barriers at potential entry points to prevent rodents and other pests from entering the attic.
• blew in premium fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, bringing her attic up to the Energy Star-recommended level.

As a result of the work we did for Regina, her heating and cooling costs will now be slashed by up to half. Her home will stay warm and cozy in the winter and cool and comfortable in summer. Her indoor air quality will be better and she will have a higher resale value on her home should she ever decide to sell it.
