Jesse learned about the benefits of a Tyson Energy Solutions attic restoration through Fresno Home Magazine. He contacted us and when we came out to inspect his attic, we discovered that his attic contained only about 3 inches of old cellulose insulation present, with dozens of air leakage points visible through the low insulation. Since Jesse wanted to reduce his heating and cooling costs and make his home more comfortable, he decided on a comprehensive attic restoration.
We took the following steps to complete the attic restoration in Jesse’s attic:
- Vacuumed out the old insulation.
- Air-sealed the attic floor using closed-cell foam to close up all holes, gaps, and cracks. This included top plates, wiring and plumbing penetrations, can lights, and registers.
- Installed rodent-proof barriers to prevent rodents and other pests from entering the attic.
- Cleaned and sanitized the attic to eliminate contaminants and irritants.
- Blew in new fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, bringing the attic to the Energy Star-recommended level.
As a result of the work we did for Jesse, he and his family will now experience 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.
- A higher resale value for their home should they ever decide to sell it.
Gary learned about Tyson Energy Solutions at the Fresno Home Show and was interested in making his home more comfortable and energy efficient. Gary said that his heating and cooling bills were high and his home was chilly during the winter and hot and stuffy during the summer. We came out and inspected Gary’s attic and discovered that his attic only had 8 inches of insulation present, which is well below the R38 level recommended by Energy Star. Gary decided to upgrade his attic to R49 and we performed an insulation upgrade.
We began by air-sealing visible leakage points. We then blew in an additional 8 inches of premium fiberglass insulation.
As a result of the insulation upgrade, Gary and his family will experience a cooler, more comfortable home in summer, a warmer home in winter, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 25% for as long as they live in their home.
In this project, we tackled both duct replacements and insulation upgrades. Enjoy improved airflow and enhanced energy efficiency with our comprehensive solutions
We were contacted for this project because the homeowner was experiencing high energy bills and uncomfortable temperatures in their home. When we inspected the attic, we saw that there was only about four inches of old insulation in the attic. They decided they wanted to add more insulation so bring their home up to energy efficiency standards.
We increased the level of insulation in the attic by blowing in premium, Johns Manville fiberglass insulation to a height of 14 inches. This provided the Energy Star recommended R38 level of insulation. We also sealed holes and gaps in the attic to prevent air leakage between the attic and the living spaces of the home.
The homeowner will now enjoy reduced heating and cooling costs and a more comfortable home for years to come!
The owner of this 3200 sq. ft. home in Turlock, CA called Tyson Energy Solutions because the air conditioning costs in his large home were sky-high. He also complained that his home felt warm, especially during the summer months. Upon inspection of his attic, we found that he had less than three inches of old, cellulose insulation in his home.
We upgraded the homeowner’s attic to the Energy Star recommended R49 level by increasing his insulation to 18 inches using our blown-in, premium Johns Manville fiberglass insulation. We also air-sealed any openings we saw using closed-cell foam. This was done to prevent air from transferring between the attic and the living spaces of her home. We cleared the soffit vents to ensure improved ventilation of the attic space.
We also installed a QuietCool Smart Gable Attic Fan 3.0. The fan can be manually controlled through an app on the homeowner’s phone or set to turn on and off when varying temperature and humidity conditions are present. This ensures the greatest amount of both flexibility and control for the homeowner.
Now this homeowner and his children get to enjoy a cooler, more comfortable home during the summer as well as reduced cooling and heating costs all year round.
