Insulation Upgrade with Blown Fiberglass in 1400 Square Foot Home in Lemoore, CA

The homeowner of this 1400 sq. ft. home in Lemoore, CA called us because she was experiencing high cooling bills and her home was hot and uncomfortable during the extreme heat of the summer months in the Central Valley. She believed that she only had four inches of insulation in her attic. When we arrived at her home and inspected her attic, we confirmed that the old cellulose insulation was insufficient to keep her hot attic air from transferring to the living spaces of her home.

We upgraded the homeowner’s attic with 18 inches of blown-in, premium Johns Manville fiberglass insulation, raising it to the Energy Star recommended R49 level. We also air-sealed any openings we saw using closed-cell foam. This was done to prevent air from transferring between the attic and the living spaces of her home. We cleared the soffit vents to ensure improved ventilation of the attic space.

Because we use premium fiberglass insulation that doesn’t settle, she can enjoy her well-insulated attic for years to come.
