Before & After Photos

Jerome contacted Tyson because his home was constantly hot and stuffy in the summer and frigid in the winter. He was frustrated because he was constantly running his HVAC system in an attempt to keep his home a comfortable temperature and humidity level. When we inspected his attic, we discovered that Jerome only had about 6 inches of insulation. This was the root of his home's temperature discomfort and high heating and cooling costs. We decided that an insulation upgrade would be the best option for Jerome and his family to achieve their goals.

We began by air-sealing visible leakage points. We then blew in fiberglass insulation to a height of 14 inches, achieving the R38 recommended level prescribed by Energy Star.

Because of the insulation upgrade, Jerome and his family will experience a more comfortable home temperature year-round and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 30% for as long as they live in the home.

Jacob attended the Home Show in Fresno at the beginning of the year and discovered Tyson Energy Solutions. After learning more about how an attic restoration could benefit him, he asked Tyson to come and take a look at his attic to see how a restoration might benefit him. We scheduled a time to inspect his attic and found that he only had about 3-4 inches of old insulation present. After seeing the pictures of how under-insulated his attic was, Jacob decided to go ahead and have us do a full attic restoration in order to make his home more comfortable and improve his indoor air quality.

The attic restoration process went through the following steps:

1) Remove the old, dirty insulation.

2) Clean and sanitize the attic to eliminate irritants and contaminants.

3) Air-seal leakage points including top plates, registers, recessed lights, and plumbing and wiring penetrations.

4) Install rodent-proof barriers at potential entry points.

5) Blow-in 14 inches of new fiberglass insulation to an R38 level.

Jacob's home is now easily able to retain its conditioned air all year round. This means that not only is his home cool during summer and toasty during winter, but his indoor air quality is also greatly improved. Jacob can be confident that his attic will remain rodent-free and his heating and cooling costs will be lowered by up to 50% for the life of his home.

This customer had 6 inches of insulation in the attic. We increased it to 14 inches. 

Herman contacted us when his wife's severe allergies forced them to vacate their home. Suspecting the old attic insulation as the culprit, they enlisted our expertise to assess the situation. Our inspection revealed contaminated and dirty insulation, with multiple leakage points allowing attic air and dust into the living space. Taking decisive action, we removed the compromised insulation, meticulously air-sealed the attic floor, and installed can light covers over all recessed lighting for insulation protection and enhanced air sealing. After sanitizing the attic, we upgraded the insulation to R38. With these comprehensive measures, Herman and his wife can now return home to enjoy a healthier indoor environment with cleaner air.

The homeowner contacted us because his two-story home was uncomfortably warm as we approached another scorching Central Valley summer. Additionally, his home had two HVAC systems working to keep his house cool, and his cooling bills were already becoming unmanageable with the rising cost of energy. When we inspected his attic, we found that it only had about 6 inches of insulation, and he had several HVAC ducts that were broken and leaking air. In addition to replacing the broken HVAC ducts, we determined that an attic restoration would best help him achieve his goals of attaining a cool, comfortable home and lowering his cooling bills.

We began by sucking out all of the old, contaminated insulation and disposing of it. We then identified all of the HVAC ducts that were broken and leaking air and installed R6 flex ducts in their place. Next we cleaned and sanitized the attic using DSV sanitizer. Once we had an empty and sanitized workspace, we identified air leakage points -- including top plates, wire and plumbing penetrations, and recessed lighting -- and sealed it using closed-cell foam to prevent air from traveling between the hot attic and the living spaces of the home. We also installed rodent-proof barriers to keep rodents and other pests from entering the space. Lastly, we blew in 14 inches of premium, fiberglass insulation to bring the attic up to the Energy Star-recommended R38 level.

As a result of the duct replacement and attic restoration, the homeowner and his family will enjoy the following benefits:

1) better indoor air quality

2) reduced heating and cooling bills by up to 30%

3) more comfortable temperatures in their home year-round

4) higher resell appeal should they ever decide to sell their home

5) they will never have to have this work done again -- it's a one-time investment

6) reduced wear and tear on their HVAC systems
