Before & After Photos

The homeowner contacted us because her home was unbearably hot during a particularly bad Central Valley heat wave and her cooling bills were out of control. She specifically complained that her air conditioner was running constantly, but was not able to adequately cool her home. We inspected her attic and found that her insulation was very low, only about 5-6 inches. In addition, her gable vent needed to be re-screened as it was not allowing properly ventilation in the attic which was a major contributing factor to her ait conditioner not being able to function effectively.

To remedy this, we determined that we needed to do a full attic restoration. We extracted and disposed of the old insulation. We then cleaned and sanitized the attic using Nisus DSV sanitizer. This is a concentrated disinfectant, cleaner, mildewstat, fungicide, and sanitizer that kills a broad spectrum of viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Once we had a clean area to work with, we pinpointed all areas where air leakage could occur and sealed those areas with closed-cell foam. This included all top plates, wire and plumbing penetrations, and registers. By sealing the attic, air is prevented from flowing between the attic and the home's living spaces. Additionally, we installed barriers at any potential rodent entry points to prevent them from accessing the attic. We cleared the soffit vents to ensure improved ventilation of the attic space. We also re-screened her gable vent to allow proper ventilation.

We installed a new attic access because the old access was broken and therefore dangerous. It also allowed too much air to leak into the living spaces of the home. 

Lastly, 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. 

As a result of this comprehensive attic restoration, this homeowner will enjoy a more comfortable home, lower heating and cooling bills year-round, and better indoor air quality for as long as she lives in the home.

Mollie contacted Tyson Energy Solutions because her home was unable to keep the cool air produced by her air conditioner in the house. She suspected that it was leaking out of the house because her HVAC system was constantly running and yet, always felt hot. She was looking to reduce her cooling costs while also making her home feel more comfortable. When we inspected her attic, we found that she only had about 3-4 inches of insulation present. We determined that an attic restoration was the best option for her to achieve her objectives.

We started off by removing all of the old, dirty insulation from the attic. Once the attic was bare, we cleaned and sanitized the attic using DSV sanitizer to eliminate contaminants and irritants. Once the attic had been sanitized, we meticulously air-sealed the attic using closed-cell foam in order to prevent air from traveling between the attic and the living spaces of the home. This included all top plates, registers, recessed lights, and wiring and plumbing penetrations. The last step was blowing in 14 inches of premium, fiberglass insulation, bringing the attic to the Energy Star-recommended R38 level.

As a result of the comprehensive attic restoration that we performed, Mollie and her family will enjoy a cooler, more comfortable home during summers, warmer temperatures in winter, reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50%, and better indoor air quality for as long as they live in the house.

LuLu contacted us because her home was constantly hot and uncomfortable despite the fact that she ran her air conditioner constantly. As a result of her high HVAC usage, her cooling costs were extremely high. When we inspected her attic, we found that she only had about 5-6 inches of old, dirty insulation present. Since the insulation was so dirty, we knew that there was significant air leakage occurring. In order to make her home more comfortable and also reduce her cooling costs, we determined that a full attic restoration was needed.

We began by sucking out all of the old insulation. We then cleaned and sanitized the whole attic using DSV sanitizer in order to eliminate contaminants and irritants. Next, we located potential rodent entry points and installed barriers to prevent them from entering the attic. At the same time, we also meticulously air-sealed potential leakage points to prevent the air from traveling between the living spaces of the home and the attic. Lastly, we blew in new, fiberglass insulation to a level of R38, or 14 inches. 

As a result of the attic restoration, LuLu will experience better indoor air quality, reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50%, and a more temperate, comfortable home year-round for the life of her house.

Louis reached out to us because he became aware that his home had little to no insulation and as a result, his home was hot and stuffy. He was looking to make his home more comfortable and also reduce his energy bills. We came out and inspected his attic and found that there was only about 1-2 inches of insulation present, with many areas being bare. There were many places, such as around can lights, where there was significant air leakage. We determined that an insulation upgrade was necessary to help Louis achieve his goals.

We began by air-sealing visible leakage points, such as around the can lights, using closed-cell foam. This is done to help prevent air from traveling between the attic and the living spaces of the home. We then blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to a height of 13 inches, bringing the attic to an R38 level, the Energy Star-recommended level.

As a result of the thorough work we did in Louis's attic, his home will now be cool and comfortable during summers, warm during winters, and his heating and cooling costs will be up to 30% lower for the life of his home.

Mark called Tyson Energy Solutions because he was running his heat constantly in winter and his air conditioner constantly in summer. Despite this, his home still felt uncomfortable year-round. He was looking to achieve a more comfortable home temperature and humidity level while simultaneously reducing his heating and cooling costs. We inspected his attic and found that he had less than 2 inches of insulation present. This was the root cause of his high heating and cooling costs and uncomfortable home. We determined that an insulation upgrade was necessary to help Mark achieve his goals.

We began by air-sealing visible leakage points. This is done to help prevent airflow between the attic and the living spaces of the home. We then blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to a height of 16 inches, increasing the protection from heat transfer to an R49 level.

As a result of the insulation upgrade we completed, Mark will now enjoy reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 30% year-round and a more temperate, comfortable home for as long as he resides there.
