Insulation Upgrade to R38 Using Blown In Fiberglass in Office Space in Fresno, CA

Dennis reached out to Tyson because he had recently acquired an office space and it was very hot and uncomfortable, despite the air conditioner turning on frequently. We came out and took a look in the attic and found that there was only about 3 inches of fiberglass batting present. Dennis decided that he wanted to do an insulation upgrade to help reduce his heating and cooling costs and keep his office space a comfortable temperature.

We began the upgrade by air-sealing visible leakage points using closed-cell foam. This is done to help prevent airflow between the attic and the living spaces of the office. We then blew in about 11 inches of premium, fiberglass insulation, bringing the attic up to the Energy Star-recommended R38 level.

As a result of the insulation upgrade, Dennis will enjoy a more comfortable temperature year-round and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 25% for as long as he occupies that office space.
