Doug had been struggling with a chilly home in winter and stifling temperatures in summer in his Coarsegold home. As a result, his heating and cooling bills were steadily increasing. After some research, he determined that his attic insulation must be low. He discovered Tyson through our 350+ 5-star Google reviews and gave us a call. We came out and inspected his attic and found that he only had about four inches of insulation present. He decided that adding attic insulation would be the best way to reach his goals of keeping his home comfortable while also reducing his bills.
We began by air-sealing visible leakage points to help prevent airflow between the attic and the home’s living spaces. We then blew in about ten inches of fiberglass insulation, bringing his attic to the Energy Star-recommended R38 level.
As a result of adding attic insulation, Doug will now enjoy reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 20%, a warmer home during winter, and a cooler home during summer.
Minerva was referred to Tyson by a family member who had us do work for her and was thrilled with the results. Minerva was looking to reduce her heating and cooling costs and make her home a more comfortable temperature year-round. When we came out and inspected her attic, we found that there was only about 4-5 inches of old, dirty cellulose insulation present. This was well below the R38 level recommended by Energy Star. Minerva decided to have us complete a full attic restoration.
To complete the attic restoration, we took the following steps:
- removed the old insulation by sucking it out with our powerful Cool Machines CoolVac 37 removal machine
- cleaned and sanitized the attic to remove contaminants, irritants, and odors
- air-sealed the attic floor including top plates, wiring and plumbing penetrations, registers, and recessed lights
- installed rodent-proof barriers at potential entry points to block their access to the attic
- blew in premium fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, which is the recommendation for our climate in the Fresno-area
As a result of the insulation removal, air-sealing, and new insulation installation we did for Minerva, she will now enjoy the following benefits:
- reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50%
- a warm, cozy home in winter and a cool, comfortable home in summer
- better indoor air quality
- a higher resale value for her home should she ever decide to sell
This Visalia homeowner was referred to us by another company because their attic was drastically low on insulation. We inspected the space and found that there was only about four inches present. The homeowner decided to have us perform an insulation upgrade — or add insulation to bring the attic up to R38, the Energy Star-recommended level for our climate.
To upgrade the insulation, we first air-sealed any visible leakage points to helpl prevent airflow between the attic and the home’s living spaces. We then blew in ten inches of premium fiberglass insulation.
As a result of the work we did, the homeowner will now experience reduced heating and cooling costs up to 20% and a warmer, cozier home during winter and a cooler home during summer.
Lynne reached out to Tyson because her home felt frigid in the winter and warm and stuffy in the summer. She was looking for relief from the discomfort as well as her high heating and cooling bills. We came out and inspected her attic and discovered the reason for the temperature discomfort: her attic had only 3 inches of old cellulose insulation present. There were dozens of air leakage points visible through the low insulation. We determined that a full attic restoration was necessary to help her lower her bills and make her home comfortable.
We began by vacuuming out all of the old insulation. We then cleaned and sanitized the attic using DSV sanitizer, eliminating the contaminants, irritants, and odors. We then air-sealed the attic floor to close up all of the holes, gaps, and cracks allowing airflow between the attic and the home’s living spaces. We also installed rodent-proof barriers to prevent rodents and other pests from entering the attic. Lastly, we blew in premium fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, which is Energy Star’s recommendation for our Central Valley climate.
As a result of the extensive work we did for Lynne, she will now enjoy the following benefits:
- better indoor air quality.
- reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50%.
- a warm, cozy home in winter and a cool, comfortable home in summer.
- increased resale value of her home should she ever decide to sell it.
David learned about the Tyson Energy Solutions attic restoration process through Fresno Home Magazine. He was interested in improving his indoor air quality, home’s temperature, and heating and cooling costs. He called us for an attic inspection and when we checked out his home, we found that his attic had only 5 inches of old, dirty cellulose insulation present, which was contributing to his home being dusty and his indoor air quality being compromised. We determined that a comprehensive attic restoration was needed to help David achieve his goals.
We took the following steps to complete the attic restoration in David’s home:
- vacuumed out the old cellulose insulation.
- cleaned and sanitized the attic using DSV sanitizer.
- air-sealed the attic floor including all top plates, registers, recessed lights, and plumbing and wiring penetrations.
- installed rodent-proof barriers to prevent rodents and other pests from entering the attic.
- blew in new fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, the Energy Star recommendation for our climate in the Fresno area.
As a result of the full attic restoration we performed, David and his family will now enjoy healthier indoor air quality, a warm home in winter and a cool home in summer, and a reduction of their heating and cooling bills by up to 50% for as long as they reside in their home.
