Michael contacted us because his cooling bills were extremely high, yet his home still felt hot and uncomfortable. He was looking to improve his home’s comfort and also reduce his cooling costs. When we came and inspected his attic, we found that it only had about 7 inches of insulation present. We determined that an insulation upgrade was the best option to help Michael achieve these goals.
We began by air-sealing visible leakage points in order to prevent air from traveling between the attic and the living spaces of his home. We then blew in fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, bringing the attic up to the Energy Star-recommended level.
As a result of the insulation upgrade, Michael will enjoy a cooler home during summer, a warmer home during winter, and reduced heating and cooling bills by up to 30% for as long as he lives in the home.
Linda reached out to us because she was looking to reduce her cooling bills and keep her home cool. It had been a particularly brutal summer, and her bills had been almost double compared to the previous year. When we inspected her attic, we found that she only had about 4-5 inches of old, dirty insulation present. We determined that a comprehensive attic restoration, whole house fan, and attic fan were the perfect trifecta to help her achieve her goals.
We began by sucking out all of the old, dirty insulation. We then cleaned and sanitized the attic using DSV sanitizer. Next, we installed a QuietCool Stealth Pro 5.5 whole house fan and QuietCool Smart Gable Attic Fan. Next, we installed rodent-proof barriers to prevent rodents and other pests from entering the attic. We also thoroughly air-sealed any potential leakage points to prevent air from traveling between the attic and the living spaces of the home. We then blew in fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, bringing the home up to Energy Star recommendations.
As a result of the comprehensive work we did in Linda’s home, she will experience a multitude of benefits for as long as she lives in that house: a cooler, more comfortable home during summers, a warmer home during winters, better indoor air quality and less dust, and between a 50%-90% reduction in her heating and cooling costs.
Luke contacted Tyson Energy Solutions because his home was hot and uncomfortable during the scorching summer months in the Central Valley. His air conditioner was constantly running in an attempt to cool his home, but his house was just not able to retain the conditioned air. When we inspected his attic, we discovered that Luke’s attic had less than 4 inches of insulation present and was littered with roofing debris. Because his insulation was so low, we could see that there were many holes, gaps, and cracks where air was easily able to flow between his attic and his home’s living spaces. We determined that an insulation upgrade was the best option for Luke to achieve his goals of a more comfortable home and reduced cooling bills.
We began the insulation upgrade by air-sealing the visible leakage points using closed-cell foam. We then installed baffles to ensure that the vents in the attic would remain uncovered by the insulation once we blew it in. Proper ventilation is vital for allowing the attic to effectively exhaust the hot air outside of the home. Lastly, we blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to an R38 level.
As a result of the insulation upgrade we performed, Luke and his family will enjoy a cool, comfortable home during summers, a warmer home during winters, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 30% for as long as they reside in the home.
Claudine reached out to us because she’d had an electrician inspect her attic to update her wiring and was told that her insulation was very low. She had noticed that her heating and cooling costs were high and her house constantly felt hot and stuffy during the summer. We came out and inspected her attic and discovered she only had about 4-5 inches of old, cellulose insulation present. She also had evidence of rodent activity. We determined that an attic restoration would best help her achieve a healthy and comfortable home.
We began by sucking out all of the old insulation. We then cleaned and sanitized the attic to remove irritants and contaminants. Next, we installed rodent-proof barriers to keep rodents and other pests out. We simultaneously air-sealed leakage points with closed-cell foam. This included all top plates, wiring and plumbing penetrations, registers, and recessed lights. Lastly, we blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, bringing the attic up to the current Energy Star recommendations.
As a result of the work we did, Claudine will enjoy better indoor air quality, a cool, comfortable home during summer, a warmer home in winter, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50% for as long as she lives in her home.
Jeff contacted us because his home was unbearably hot during the summer months. As a result, his air conditioning bill was high because it was constantly battling the heat. When we came out and inspected his attic, we found that there was only about 3 inches of insulation present. To remedy this, we determined that an insulation upgrade was necessary.
We began the upgrade by air-sealing visible leakage points. This helps prevent airflow between the attic and the home’s living spaces. Next we blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, Energy Star’s recommendation for our climate.
As a result of the insulation upgrade, Jeff and his family will experience a cool, comfortable home during the summers, a warmer home during winters, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 25% for as long as they reside in the home.
