Attic Restoration with Air Sealing & New Fiberglass Insulation in Fresno, CA
Michelle contacted us because her home was struggling to stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter. After inspecting her attic, we found the culprit—only 3 inches of old cellulose insulation, which had settled over time and lost its effectiveness. With such minimal insulation, heat was easily escaping in the winter and seeping in during the summer, forcing her HVAC system to work overtime.
To fix the issue, we performed a full attic restoration. First, we removed all of the existing cellulose insulation and thoroughly cleaned the attic, eliminating dust, allergens, and debris. Next, we air-sealed all major leakage points, including wire penetrations, plumbing gaps, and top plates, using closed-cell foam. This step is crucial in preventing conditioned air from escaping into the attic and improving overall energy efficiency.
Once the attic was properly sealed, we installed a fresh layer of premium insulation, bringing it up to the recommended energy efficiency level. With the new insulation in place, Michelle’s home will now stay comfortable year-round while reducing strain on her HVAC system. She can expect lower energy bills, improved indoor air quality, and a more consistent indoor climate.
