Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Caruthers, CA contacted us because his home was extremely uncomfortable during the hot summer months. He also stated that his house would get dusty constantly, which he attributed to living out in the country. However, upon inspection of his attic, we found that batting insulation had been haphazardly installed, there was debris throughout the attic, and there was evidence of rodent activity. Based on these findings, he wisely decided to have his attic completely restored.

We began the attic restoration by extracting and disposing 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, we prevented air 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 then blew in premium, Johns Manville fiberglass insulation to a height of 14 inches. This provided the Energy Star recommended R38 level of insulation.

Not only will his home be less dusty, but it will be more comfortable and 15-20% cheaper to heat and cool his home for years to come!

The homeowner contacted Tyson Energy Solutions because his 1600 sq. ft. home was uncomfortably hot in the summer and frigid in the winter. Additionally, the homeowner's young children were suffering from bad allergies year-round. Upon inspection of the attic, we discovered that not only was the insulation in the attic old and dirty, but six ducts for the HVAC system had eroded and were leaking air into the living spaces of the home from the attic.

Lastly, we blew in new, premium Johns Manville fiberglass insulation to a height of 14 inches. This provided the Energy Star recommended R38 level of insulation. 

This homeowner and his family will now experience healthier indoor air, reduced heating and cooling costs, and a more comfortable temperature in their home year-round for the life of their house.

The homeowner contacted us because his home was uncomfortably hot. He had already called the HVAC repairman but was told there was nothing wrong with his AC. The repairman told him it was likely an issue with his insulation. When we inspected his home, we found that the attic only had about 4-5 inches of old insulation present. We determined that by upgrading his insulation, he would have a much more comfortable home.

We began the insulation upgrade by air-sealing visible air leakage points. This helps to prevent air from moving between the attic and the living spaces of the home. Next, we brought his insulation up to R38, or 14 inches, by blowing in premium, fiberglass insulation. This brought the home up to current building code and Energy Star recommendations.

As a result of the insulation upgrade, the homeowner and his family will enjoy a cooler home during summers, a warmer home during winters, and reduced heating and cooling costs for the life of their home.

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.
