R38 Blown In Fiberglass Insulation Upgrade in 1200 Sq. Ft. Home in Fresno, CA
Jerome contacted Tyson because his home was constantly hot and stuffy in the summer and frigid in the winter. He was frustrated because he was constantly running his HVAC system in an attempt to keep his home a comfortable temperature and humidity level. When we inspected his attic, we discovered that Jerome only had about 6 inches of insulation. This was the root of his home’s temperature discomfort and high heating and cooling costs. We decided that an insulation upgrade would be the best option for Jerome and his family to achieve their goals.
We began by air-sealing visible leakage points. We then blew in fiberglass insulation to a height of 14 inches, achieving the R38 recommended level prescribed by Energy Star.
Because of the insulation upgrade, Jerome and his family will experience a more comfortable home temperature year-round and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 30% for as long as they live in the home.
