Tyson Energy Solutions Before & After Photos

Donald contacted us looking for a solution to his high cooling costs and a home that felt hot and stuffy. Although his home was built in 2005, when we inspected his attic, we found that Donald’s attic had only about 5 inches of insulation present and was bare in many spots. In addition, another company had installed a gable fan for him but had not properly blocked off the gable vent, rendering the fan useless. We determined that an insulation upgrade and blocking off the vent around the gable fan would best help Donald achieve his goals of reducing his cooling costs and making his home more comfortable.

We began by blocking off the gable vent around the fan, ensuring it could properly ventilate the attic’s heat. We then air-sealed visible leakage points with closed-cell foam, helping to mitigate the air flow between the attic and the living spaces of the home. Lastly, we blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, bringing the attic to the Energy Star-recommended level.

As a result of the work we performed, Donald and his family will enjoy a cool, comfortable home during the summer, a warmer home in winter, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 30% for as long as they live in the home.

We left no room for compromise in this project. To ensure unobstructed airflow and superior insulation performance, we installed baffles over the soffit vents. Simultaneously, we upgraded the insulation to a remarkable R-38, with a generous 14-inch thickness. Experience the perfect balance of ventilation and insulation for the utmost energy efficiency and home comfort. We also installed a missing bathroom fan duct, at no charge.

The homeowner called Tyson Energy Solutions because his home in Oakhurst was frigid in the winter and very warm in the summer. Our specialist visited the home and found that the attic only had about four inches of insulation. In order to bring the home up to the Energy Star recommended R38 level, we performed an insulation upgrade by blowing in premium, Johns Manville fiberglass insulation to a height of 14 inches. We also sealed holes and gaps in the attic to prevent air leakage between the attic and the living spaces of the home.

As a result, this homeowner will enjoy a more comfortable home year-round as well as reduced heating and cooling costs. Because we use premium fiberglass insulation, he won’t have to worry about the insulation losing its efficiency for the life of his home.

For this special project, we used blown-in premium fiberglass insulation for an 1130 sq. ft. attic in order to keep the home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. At the homeowner’s request, we also added batting insulation to the vaulted ceiling to a value of R30, which will help this unique home to keep comfortable even in extreme temperatures. Batting insulation was also added to exterior and interior walls. Overall, this home is now going to enjoy lower heating and cooling costs and more comfort year-round!

Garrett contacted us because his home was uncomfortably hot and he believed the issue to be his insulation. His air conditioner was struggling to keep his home cool and ran constantly, and as a result, his cooling bills were astronomical. When we inspected his attic, we found that he had little to no insulation in most areas of his attic, with the highest spots being about 2-3 inches. This was directly causing his air conditioner to have to run all the time, and was actually also heating the conditioned air even before it entered the home. We determined that upgrading his insulation to R49, or 18 inches, was the best solution for his cooling problems.

We began by air-sealing visible air leakage points using closed-cell foam to help prevent the air from flowing from his attic into his home. We then blew in fiberglass insulation to a height of 18 inches.

As a result of the insulation upgrade, Garrett will enjoy reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 30% as well as more comfortable temperatures in his home year-round for as long as he lives there.
