Insulation Upgrade to R38 Using Blown In Fiberglass Insulation in Hanford, CA

The homeowner contacted us because he recently purchased a home and it felt very hot and uncomfortable in the summer heat, even with the air conditioner running on full blast. Upon inspection of his attic, we found that his attic contained less than 3 inches of insulation, well below the current standards. We determined that we needed to perform an insulation upgrade in order to make his home more comfortable and keep his cooling bills low during the intense Central Valley summers.

We increased the level of insulation in the attic by blowing in premium, Johns Manville fiberglass insulation to a height of 14 inches. This provided the Energy Star recommended R38 level of insulation. We also sealed holes and gaps in the attic to prevent air leakage between the attic and the living spaces of the home.

As a result of the insulation upgrade, this homeowner will enjoy a more comfortable home and lower heating and cooling costs for the life of his home.
