Comprehensive Attic Restoration – Insulation Removal and Installation of Blown In Fiberglass in Dinuba, CA
Jose contacted Tyson Energy Solutions because he felt that his home was not staying warm during the winter and not staying cool during the summer. With rising energy costs, Jose was eager to address the problem. We came out and examined his attic and found that he had less than 6 inches of insulation. In some areas, there were bare spots, which led to certain areas of his home becoming hotter or colder than others. We determined that a comprehensive attic restoration was the best solution to address Jose’s concerns.
We began by removing all of the old insulation, then cleaning and sanitizing the attic with DSV sanitizer. This serves to eliminate microbes and contaminants in the attic and improves indoor air quality. We then meticulously air-sealed the attic, including the recessed lighting, wiring and plumbing penetrations, and registers. We also installed rodent-proof barriers at potential entry points in order to keep rodents and other animals from entering the space. Once the attic was sealed, we blew in premium, Johns Manville fiberglass insulation to R38 level, or 14 inches, according to Energy Star recommendations. We took care not to block any of the attic vents, in order to preserve proper ventilation.
As a result of our complete attic restoration, not only will Jose and his family experience a more comfortable and healthier home, but they will also enjoy reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 20% for as long as they live there.
