Attic Restoration in 2300 Sq. Ft. Home – Insulation Removal, Air-Sealing, and New Insulation to R49 in Fresno, CA
Travis was seeking a solution to his high heating and cooling costs and discovered Tyson Energy Solutions from our hundreds of 5-star Google reviews. We came out and inspected Travis’s attic and found that he only had about 3 inches of old cellulose insulation present, with dozens of air leakage points visible. Travis decided that he wanted an attic restoration in order to capitalize on the reduction in his heating and cooling costs.
We took the following steps to perform Travis’s attic restoration:
- vacuumed out the old cellulose insulation
- cleaned and sanitized the attic with DSV sanitizer to eliminate odors, irritants, and contaminants
- air-sealed leakage points on the attic floor including top plates, wiring and plumbing penetrations, registers, and recessed lights
- installed rodent-proof barriers at potential entry points to keep rodents and other pests from entering the attic
- blew in premium fiberglass insulation to an R49 level, exceeding the minimum Energy Star recommendation for our climate
As a result of the work we did, Travis and his family will enjoy the following benefits for as long as they live in their home:
- reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50%
- better indoor air quality and less dust in their home
- a cool, comfortable home in summer and warm, cozy home in winter
- a higher resale value should they ever decide to sell their home
