The homeowners of this house in Germantown, Maryland had a rough winter this year. The home was constantly chilly and suffered from drafts. The homewoners called Complete Home Solutions to find the source of the problem. Our Auditor went into the home and determined that the source the discomfort this winter was insufficient attic insulation.
To ensuere that the home doesn't waste more energy by allowing the home's air to escape through the attic our Production Team used blow in cellulose insulation. This makes the home more energy efficient for the upcoming seasons and more comfortable for the family to live in.

This homeowner in New Carrollton, Maryland hated how her bedroom always had a cold draft that crept in. In the wintertime, it became almost unbearable. She called up Complete Home Solutions to see if we could help.
Lucky for this homeowner, we happen to be professionals when it comes to these types of situations. In the attic, we removed all of the old insulation that wasn't doing any good, did a bunch of air sealing, and installed our blown in cellulose insulation. That bedroom won't be a problem for this homeowner anymore.
Juan's home in New Carrollton, MD was very uncomfortable throughout the second floor. He knew the insulation was leading to the problem, however, she was hesitant to address the problem due to losing her valuable storage space. After another unbearable summer, Juan had had enough and called Complete Home Solutions. After a full home examination from one of our Home Comfort Specialist, it was determined that the condition of the home's attic insulation was a leading culprit in the home's uncomfortable upstairs temperatures. While comfort was a priority, Stephen did not want to lose the valuable storage space his attic currently had, luckily for Juan, we had a solution. On the day our crew began work on the attic they began by pulling back the existing insulation to ensure the area was properly air sealed. Air sealing ensures that there are no seams or cracks around top plates, recessed lights, or outlets that could allow conditioned air to rise and escape from the living area of your home. The next step was building an attic hatch damn at the entrance to the attic. This process allows our crew to blow insulation as close to your attic hatch as possible while also making the entryway clean if you have to get into your attic. The final step is to add a new blanket of Cellulose insulation to the attic to ensure 16 inches of insulation all the way around the attic.
Juan can't wait to see how these improvements help the efficiency and comfort in his home this winter.

This homeowner in Hyattsville, Maryland seemed to spend every winter exasperating themselves trying to stay warm. They decided that they had had enough this winter! They got into contact with Complete Home Solutions.
The first step we took was to perform a Home Energy Audit and figure out what we were dealing with. We found that the attic was a major part of the problem. There was an absolute minimum amount of insulation and no air sealing. All that hot air that the homeowner was trying to fill the house with was slipping right up and out through the attic! After explaining this to them, they had us seal up the attic hatch, air seal the rim joists and any attic penetrations, and install TruSoft Cellulose insulation to fix the problem. The homeowner has already noticed a difference in their comfort levels and is no longer dreading the long winter!
