R38 Insulation Upgrade Using Blown In Fiberglass in 1650 Sq. Ft. House in Fresno, CA

Don contacted Tyson Energy Solutions because his air conditioner was running constantly during the summer months, yet his house always felt hot and uncomfortable. He was looking to keep his home cool as well as reduce his energy bills. We came out and inspected Don’s attic and found that he only had about 3-4 inches of insulation present. We determined that an insulation upgrade was Don’s best option to resolving his comfort issues and high bills.

We began by air-sealing visible leakage points with closed-cell foam. This was done to help prevent air flowing between the attic and the home’s living spaces. We then blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, the Energy Star-recommended level.

As a result of the work we did, Don and his family will now enjoy a cooler, more comfortable home during the summer, a warmer home during winter, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 30% for the life of the home.
