QuietCool Smart Gable Attic Fan 3.0 Installation and Insulation Upgrade in Tulare, CA
The homeowner called Tyson Energy Solutions because his air conditioner was constantly running in the summer. Upon inspection of his attic, we found that the insulation was insufficient- only about 4 inches- and the attic was sweltering and did not have proper ventilation. We determined that we needed to add more insulation and add a gable attic fan in order to cool his attic and allow his HVAC system to run efficiently.
We upgraded the homeowner’s attic to the Energy Star recommended R49 level by increasing his insulation to 18 inches using our blown-in, premium Johns Manville fiberglass insulation. 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 his home. We cleared the soffit vents to ensure improved ventilation of the attic space.
We also installed a QuietCool Smart Gable Attic Fan 3.0. The fan can be manually controlled through an app on the homeowner’s phone or set to turn on and off when varying temperature and humidity conditions are present. This ensures the greatest amount of both flexibility and control for the homeowner.
As a result, the home is now able to stay cool during the summer, and the homeowner will enjoy a more comfortable home and lower heating and cooling bills year-round for the life of the home.
