How does Ramona's climate affect this service?
Ramona hits triple-digit summer afternoons with low humidity. Attics over R-49 with proper air-sealing typically drop cooling load 15–25 percent on the hottest days. We push to R-49 minimum and air-seal the chase penetrations first.. Inland air-sealing is what locks in the cooling savings on an attic insulation upgrade.
What is the biggest air leak in most San Diego homes?
Recessed lights and the attic hatch. Older recessed cans were not airtight, and most attic hatches sit on bare drywall with no gasket. Together they can equal a hand-sized hole open to the attic 24/7. Both are easy fixes.
Do I need a blower-door test?
Not always. For most retrofits we can find the leaks visually plus a thermal camera on a cool morning. Blower-door tests make sense on whole-home performance contracts and Title 24 alteration projects — we'll tell you when it's worth the cost.
