Before & After Photos

The homeowner contacted us because his house was so warm during the summer, he initially thought there was an issue with his air conditioner. Upon being told that there was nothing wrong with his HVAC unit, he called us to come out and look at his insulation. We inspected his attic and discovered that his insulation was at only about 7 inches, half of the Energy Star recommendation. We decided that an insulation upgrade would be just what he needed to get his home feeling comfortable.

We started by air-sealing visible air leakage points to help prevent air from moving between his attic and his home's living spaces. Next, we blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to a height of 14 inches to bring his attic to the R38 level of protection. 

Because of the insulation upgrade, not only will the homeowner and his family enjoy a more comfortable temperature in their home, but also reduced heating and cooling bills, and an HVAC system that is able to more effectively keep the house cool in the summers and warm in the winters.

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.

The homeowner called us because he was concerned about his home being hot and uncomfortable and his cooling bills being high during the upcoming summer months. We inspected his attic and found that he only had about 6 inches of old insulation present. 

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 his home. We cleared the soffit vents to ensure improved ventilation of the attic space.

The combination of air sealing and bringing the insulation up to 18 inches will allow this homeowner to experience a more comfortable home and lower heating and cooling bills year-round for the life of the home.
