R49 Fiberglass Insulation Upgrade for Comfort and Efficiency in Clovis, CA

Dan reached out to us because his home in Clovis was struggling to stay comfortable year-round. During our inspection, we discovered that his attic only had 5 inches of fiberglass insulation—far below the recommended level for optimal energy efficiency. The inadequate insulation was causing his HVAC system to work overtime, leading to high energy bills and uneven temperatures throughout his home. To fix these issues, we recommended upgrading his attic insulation to R49.

Here’s how we completed the R49 insulation upgrade:

• Air-sealed visible leakage points using closed-cell foam, including gaps around wiring, plumbing, and registers, to prevent air transfer between the attic and living spaces.
• Blew in premium fiberglass insulation to bring the attic to the R49 level, or 18 inches, ensuring maximum thermal efficiency.
• Provided Dan with before and after photos so he could see the transformation.

As a result of this upgrade, Dan’s home is now more energy-efficient and comfortable throughout the year. His HVAC system no longer has to work as hard, which means lower energy bills and a longer lifespan for his heating and cooling equipment.
