Insulation Upgrade to R38 with Blown In Fiberglass Insulation in 2200 Sq. Ft. Home in Fresno, CA

Nikki contacted us because she felt that her heating and cooling bills were always high and her HVAC system was always running. Despite this, her home constantly felt cold in winter and hot in summer. We came out and took a look in her attic and discovered why: she only had about 3-4 inches of insulation, so the conditioned air was leaking into the attic and the attic air was leaking into the home’s living spaces. To remedy this, we determined that the best course of action was an insulation upgrade. 

We began by air-sealing visible leakage points. This helps prevent air from traveling between the attic and the living spaces of the home. Next, we blew in Johns Manville fiberglass insulation to a height of 14 inches, bringing her attic to the Energy Star-recommended R38 resistance to heat flow necessary for our climate.

As a result of our insulation upgrade, Nikki will experience a reduction of her heating and cooling costs by up to 30% and more comfortable temperatures in her home year-round for the life of her house.
