Garrett contacted Tyson Energy Solutions because his house constantly felt hot and stuffy, despite running his air conditioner constantly. He was looking to reduce his cooling costs and make his home more comfortable during the hot summer months. When we inspected his attic, we found that things were a mess. His attic was littered with debris, including old batting insulation, roofing debris, and trash. The few inches of insulation that was present was not evenly installed throughout the attic, causing some areas of his house to be much warmer than others. We determined that an attic restoration was needed to help keep his home cool and reduce his cooling costs.
We began by removing the debris and old insulation. Once the attic was bare, we cleaned and sanitized the space using DSV sanitizer. We then identified potential leakage points where air could travel between the attic and living spaces of the home and sealed them using closed-cell foam. This included top plates, registers, recessed lights, and plumbing and wiring penetrations. Additionally, we installed rodent-proof barriers to keep rodents and other pests out of the attic. Lastly, we blew in 14 inches of premium, fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, bringing the attic up to Energy Star-recommended levels.
As a result of the attic restoration, Garrett and his family will be able to enjoy a cooler, more comfortable home in summer, a warmer home in winter, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50% for as long as they live in the home.
Terry came across Tyson Energy Solutions through a Google search for the best insulation company in the Fresno area as he was researching how to help keep his attic cooler during the summer. He wanted his attic to be cooler during the extreme heat of the Central Valley summers because he wanted to help protect his HVAC system and roof from heat damage. Terry had been reading about attic fans and wanted to see if his home was a good candidate for one. We came out and inspected his attic and found that he was indeed a good candidate.
We installed the solar attic fan and it immediately began to work to ventilate the heat out of the attic and draw cooler outside air in. This reduction of heat will help his HVAC system to work less hard and will also keep his roof shingles from getting damaged by the extreme heat in the attic, which can be 30-40 degrees hotter than the outdoor air.
The attic fan we installed will help his attic stay cooler, which in turn will help his home stay cooler. It will also impact the efficiency of his HVAC system and have a protective effect on his roof. He can expect a more comfortable temperature in his home and reduced heating and cooling costs. The QuietCool fan also has a 15-year warranty, and because Tyson installed it, any repairs or warranty claims will be handled by us, free-of-charge.
Steve was referred to us by another Tyson customer who’d had work done and was pleased with the results. Steve had an uninsulated area in his home that he wanted insulated to make it a more comfortable temperature and to help reduce his heating and cooling bills. The area was a 350 sq. ft. room so it made up almost 20% of the space in his home.
We began the project by air-sealing visible leakage points with closed cell foam. This is done to help prevent airflow between the home’s living spaces and the attic. We installed baffles to prevent the insulation from blocking the soffit vents, ensuring that the attic’s ventilation would remain intact. We then blew in premium fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, which is the Energy Star-recommended level for our climate in the Fresno area.
Because of the insulation added in Steve’s home, he will experience an overall more comfortable temperature in his home and reduced heating and cooling costs for as long as they reside in that house.
Amy contacted Tyson Energy Solutions because her home had been uncomfortably warm during the summers for years and she was ready to make a change. We inspected her attic and found that her insulation was low — only 5 inches compared to the recommended 14 inches. We determined that an insulation upgrade to bring her up to Energy Star standards and a whole house fan would greatly improve her life.
We began by sealing visible air leakage points with closed-cell foam to help prevent the hot attic air from flowing into the living spaces of the home. Next, we located the ideal area to place the whole house fan and installed the QuietCool Stealth Pro 5.5. Lastly, we blew in premium fiberglass insulation to a height of 14 inches.
As a result of the insulation upgrade and whole house fan installation, Amy and her family will enjoy reduced cooling costs by up to 90% and a more comfortable temperature in her home year-round for as long as they live in their home.
Melanie contacted us because she had a 1000-square-foot mother-in-law suite behind her main house that was constantly hot and stuffy during the summer and frigid during the winter. When we came out and inspected the attic, we discovered that it had no insulation present and was scattered with roofing debris. We determined that an insulation upgrade was needed in order to help Melanie make the home comfortable and also reduce her heating and cooling costs.
We began by air-sealing visible leakage points with closed-cell foam to prevent air from traveling between the attic and the home’s living spaces. We then added 13 inches of premium, fiberglass insulation, bringing the attic up to an R38 level, the current Energy Star recommendation.
As a result of the work we did, Melanie and her family will enjoy a cool, comfortable home during summer, and warmer home in winter, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 30% for the life of their home.
