Insulation Upgrade in 1100 Sq. Ft. Home — From 5 Inches to 14 Inches in Armona, CA

Val contacted us because she was concerned that her home was constantly warm, despite the fact that her air conditioner was running constantly. Upon inspecting her attic, we found that she had only about 5 inches of insulation present. Because this was well below the Energy Star-recommended 14 inches, Val wanted to have her insulation upgraded as soon as possible.

We began by sealing visible air leakage points using closed-cell foam. This helped to mitigate the flow of air between the hot attic and the home’s living spaces. Next, we blew in premium fiberglass insulation to a depth of 14 inches in order to bring Val’s attic up to the current recommended standard.

As a result of the insulation upgrade, not only will Val and her family enjoy more comfortable temperatures in their home year-round but also reduced heating and cooling costs for as long as they live in their home.
