R38 Insulation Upgrade & Solar Attic Fan for Home Comfort in Hanford, CA
Mary from Hanford was struggling with high energy bills and an uncomfortably warm home, despite running her air conditioning regularly. After inspecting her attic, we discovered she only had 4 inches of old cellulose insulation, which was far below the recommended level. Additionally, poor attic ventilation was trapping heat, making her cooling system work overtime.
To improve her home’s efficiency and comfort, we installed a solar attic fan, which helps expel trapped heat and regulate attic temperatures. This reduces strain on the HVAC system, leading to better cooling performance and lower energy costs. We also added premium blown-in fiberglass insulation, bringing the attic up to an R38 level—the ideal standard for thermal efficiency in California homes.
With these upgrades, Mary will now enjoy a more comfortable home year-round, lower utility costs, and improved HVAC efficiency. Her attic is now well-insulated and properly ventilated, ensuring her home stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
