Linda reached out to us because she was looking to reduce her cooling bills and keep her home cool. It had been a particularly brutal summer, and her bills had been almost double compared to the previous year. When we inspected her attic, we found that she only had about 4-5 inches of old, dirty insulation present. We determined that a comprehensive attic restoration, whole house fan, and attic fan were the perfect trifecta to help her achieve her goals.
We began by sucking out all of the old, dirty insulation. We then cleaned and sanitized the attic using DSV sanitizer. Next, we installed a QuietCool Stealth Pro 5.5 whole house fan and QuietCool Smart Gable Attic Fan. Next, we installed rodent-proof barriers to prevent rodents and other pests from entering the attic. We also thoroughly air-sealed any potential leakage points to prevent air from traveling between the attic and the living spaces of the home. We then blew in fiberglass insulation to an R38 level, bringing the home up to Energy Star recommendations.
As a result of the comprehensive work we did in Linda’s home, she will experience a multitude of benefits for as long as she lives in that house: a cooler, more comfortable home during summers, a warmer home during winters, better indoor air quality and less dust, and between a 50%-90% reduction in her heating and cooling costs.
David contacted us because he had just moved to a new house. At his previous house, we had done an attic restoration for him and he loved the results, so he wanted the same thing done at his new house as well. He noticed that his home was hot and stuffy during the summer months, and as a result, his cooling costs were high. He also wanted a whole house fan installed so that it would make his home even more comfortable and help reduce his air conditioner dependency even further.
We began by sucking out all of the old insulation and removing the debris in the attic. We then painstakingly air-sealed all of the holes, gaps, and cracks in the attic using closed-cell foam. This included all top plates, recessed lights, registers, and wiring and plumbing penetrations. Next, we cleaned the attic using DSV sanitizer to eliminate irritants and contaminants. We also installed rodent-proof barriers to prevent rodents and other pests from entering the attic. We then blew in premium, fiberglass insulation to an R38 level. Lastly, we installed a QuietCool Stealth Pro 4.8 whole house fan.
As a result of the work we performed, David will enjoy a cool, comfortable home during summer, a warm home in winter, and reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50-90% for as long as he lives in that home.
Jeff contacted us because we had installed a whole house fan for him but as it was getting closer to summer, he wanted to upgrade his insulation. We had informed him that his insulation was low when we installed the whole house fan in January, but he wanted to upgrade his insulation at a later date. When we initially inspected his attic, we observed that his insulation was low — only about 4 inches. He knew from our previous visit that upgrading his insulation would keep the cool air in his house longer and reduce his dependency on his air conditioner during the summer.
We began the insulation upgrade by sealing off visible holes, gaps, and cracks. This helps to prevent air from flowing between his attic and the living spaces of his home. Next, we blew in premium, fiberglass insulation up to an R38 level, or 14 inches.
As a result of the insulation upgrade, Jeff and his family will enjoy a cooler, more comfortable home during summers, a warmer home during winters, and reduced heating and cooling costs for the life of their home.
Terri contacted us because her house felt hot and stuffy during the summer, and she wanted to see if we would be able to install a whole house fan for her. When we inspected her attic, we found that we would be able to install the whole house fan, but we also saw that her insulation was extremely low — only about 2-3 inches, well below the 14 inches recommended by Energy Star. We determined that we could upgrade her insulation and install the whole house fan to help keep Terri’s home cool and comfortable.
We began by blowing in premium, fiberglass insulation to bring the attic to the recommended R38 level of resistance to heat transfer. Simultaneously, we located the ideal spot for the fan and installed it. We also air-sealed visible leakage points using closed-cell foam in order to prevent air from traveling between the attic and the living spaces of the home.
As a result of the insulation upgrade and whole house fan installation, Terri will enjoy a cooler, more comfortable house during summer, reduced cooling costs by up to 90%, and reduced heating costs during winter. Her indoor air quality will also be greatly improved. She will experience these benefits for as long as she lives in that 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.
