These homeowners called Complete Home Solutions with complaints of uncomfortable temperatures despite what the thermostat said. Our Auditor went to the home in Laurel, Maryland and determined that the source of the temperatures was insufficient attic insulation causing the inside air from the house to escape. Our Production Team removed the original insulation and replaced it with an adequate level of blow-in cellulose insulation. This will provide a buffer to keep the home's air from escaping through the attic.
If a home's air vents are not properly sealed the hot or cold air being transported through it can escape before reaching the other rooms in the home. To solve this our Production Team sealed air leaks in the vents to make the home more energy efficient. This allows the air to reach rooms and makes the home more comfortable.
Crawl spaces like this one are not protected against moisture that can ruin the insulation. Sagging insulation makes a home less energy efficient and allows outside air into the home. During the spring this means that your home becomes cold at night and hot during the day. To solve this problem Complete Home Solutions suggests that the crawl space be sealed from the Earth and the insulation be reinstalled. This will keep the home more energy efficient.
It was obvious that this home in Laurel, MD was in need of additional attic insulation. One of our home comfort specialists recommended that additional attic insulation be installed in addition to air sealing the holes and cracks in attic. Our production crews installed additional attic insulation and sealed the holes and cracks in their attic to make the home more energy efficient.
This upgrade will save on heating and cooling costs to make this home more energy efficient and comfortable.
This homeowner was experiencing a lot of discomfort in their home. Hot and cold rooms were a constant problem. The solution? Upgrading the attic. No air sealing and deteriorated insulation (which is what we have here) are the perfect formula for an uncomfortable home. So, we need to air seal and apply new insulation to fix it. An example of how we air seal can be seen in the "after" picture here. The silver foam board sealed with caulk (covering that backwall) are an excellent way to seal air leaks nice and tight. The insulation that we installed is called "closed cell cellulose insulation." It has a great R-Value and works perfectly with the air sealing to form a thermal barrier for this home, making it comfortable for the homeowner.
