From Bare to Energy Efficient: Attic Insulation Boost for Fresno Homeowner

Linda reached out to us from Fresno because her home wasn’t staying cool, no matter how long she ran her AC. Her energy bills were climbing, and the house still felt stuffy and uncomfortable throughout the day. We headed out to inspect her attic and quickly found the issue: her attic insulation was severely lacking. Some parts of the attic were completely bare with zero insulation, while other areas had only about five inches — far below the recommended level for our Central Valley climate.

We recommended a full insulation upgrade to R38, the Energy Star recommended level for our region. Our team carefully prepped the attic and used blown-in premium fiberglass insulation to ensure even coverage across the entire space. This high-performance insulation helps trap conditioned air inside the home while keeping hot attic air out — making a big difference in both comfort and energy efficiency.

Now that Linda’s attic is properly insulated, she’ll enjoy a cooler home in the summer, better air retention in the winter, and significantly lower HVAC usage year-round. It’s a lasting upgrade that will pay off in comfort and cost savings for years to come.
