Ron reached out to Tyson Energy Solutions because he had an HVAC technician to come out to his house to fix his AC during the summer, only to be told that there was no issue with his HVAC system. He was referred to us, and when we came out to his home, he told us that his house constantly felt hot and his air conditioner ran constantly. We determined that a whole house fan would best serve his needs.
We first inspected his attic and found the ideal location to place the fan. Next, we installed the QuietCool Stealth Pro 5.5 whole house fan. Lastly, we demonstrated to Ron how to use the fan’s wireless, 3-speed timer remote.
We checked back with Ron the next day and he said that he loved his whole house fan, and that just the first day after installation, he didn’t have to turn on his AC until noon, whereas it normally would have already been running at 8:00 am. Not only will the whole house fan help keep Ron’s home cooler, but it will improve his indoor air quality and reduce his dependency on his air conditioner by up to 50%.
Bill learned about the benefits of an attic restoration and whole house fan when he saw an ad from Tyson Energy Solutions in Fresno Home Magazine. He was interested in reducing his heating and cooling costs and also making his indoor air quality better. When we came out and inspected his attic, we found that he only had about 4 inches of old, dirty insulation present. We determined that he was a great candidate for an attic restoration and whole house fan.
We took the following steps to restore Bill’s attic:
- removed the old insulation
- installed a QuietCool Stealth Pro 5.5 whole house fan
- cleaned and sanitized the attic using DSV sanitizer to remove contaminants and irritants
- air-sealed the attic floor with closed-cell foam to prevent air from transferring between the attic and Bill’s home
- installed rodent-proof barriers at potential entry points to keep rodents and other pests out
- blew in 13 inches of premium, fiberglass insulation to bring the attic to an R38 level
As a result of the attic restoration and whole house fan installation, Bill will experience the following benefits:
- reduced heating and cooling costs by up to 50-90%
- better indoor air quality
- less dust in his home
- a cool, comfortable home during summer
- a warm, toasty home during winter
Arlan contacted Tyson because he had done some research and was interested in having an attic fan installed. He’d had Tyson come out to his house before and upgrade his insulation, so he was already familiar with Tyson and the quality of work we do. We came out and inspected his attic to ensure that the ventilation was appropriate for an attic fan, and we confirmed that it was. It’s vital to ensure that the positive intake is balanced with the exhaust so that the attic isn’t negatively pressurized, which would suck air out of the home’s living spaces and consume the conditioned air from the home.
We expertly installed a roof-mount solar fan, which was immediately ready to work since it was solar-powered.
As a result of the fan installation, Arlan’s attic will be cooler during extreme heat, which will help his HVAC system to be more efficient in keeping his home cool and comfortable. It will also help protect his roof from degradation as it won’t be as exposed to the extreme heat.
Chris contacted us because he was interested in getting a whole house fan. He saw us in Fresno Home Magazine and was intrigued at the prospect of reducing his cooling costs by up to 90% while also making his home feel immediately cooler by 5-10 degrees. When we inspected his attic, we found that we were able to install a QuietCool whole house fan, but his insulation was also low, contributing to his HVAC inefficiency and high cooling costs. We determined that an insulation upgrade and whole house fan installation were the solution to his home comfort issues.
We began by identifying the ideal location to place the QuietCool Stealth Pro 7.0 and installed it. Simultaneously, we sealed visible leakage points using closed-cell foam to mitigate the flow of air between the attic and the living spaces of the home. We then blew in fiberglass insulation to a height of 14 inches, bringing the resistance to heat flow to an R38 level. This is the Energy Star-recommended level for our climate.
As a result of the insulation upgrade and whole house fan installation, Chris and his family will enjoy reduced cooling costs by up to 90%, reduced heating costs by up to 30%, and a more comfortable home year-round for the life of their house.
Hailey contacted us because her home was uncomfortably hot during the summers and cold during winters. She believed the issue had to due with her insulation but had never been up in her attic. She was desperate to improve her home’s comfort prior to the summer. We came out and inspected her attic and found that she had about 4 inches of old insulation, which was not sufficient to keep her house cool. As a result, her air conditioner was having to work overtime to help compensate, leading to extremely high cooling bills. We determined that an insulation upgrade and whole house fan would solve these issues for her.
We began by identifying the ideal spot to place the QuietCool Trident 4.8 and installed it in that location. We then air-sealed visible air leakage points using closed-cell foam to help prevent the flow of air between the home’s living spaces and the attic. Lastly, we blew in fiberglass insulation to bring Hailey’s home to R38 level, or 14 inches.
As a result of the insulation upgrade and whole house fan installation, Hailey and her family will enjoy a cooler, more comfortable home, and reduced cooling costs by up to 90%. Their home will also be more comfortable in winter, and the resale value of their home may be increased because of these upgrades.
