Here in Port Tobacco, Maryland we have a homeowner who tries very hard to keep her family warm and comfortable. She has really struggled with that this past year. She found Complete Home Solutions online and knew that she could use our services.
An energy audit revealed that her attic was in big need of air sealing and new insulation. We sealed off any penetrations or cavities with caulking, making sure that no warm air escapes out through the attic. We then applied blown in cellulose insulation, bring levels to R-49 (the recommended BPI level for our climate region). We were happy to help this family become more comfortable in their home.
Insufficient and ineffective insulation was the main cause of energy loss in this home in Lanham, Maryland . This homeowner noticed the energy loss and inadequate attic insulation and called Complete Home Solutions to find a solution to their problem. Our trained installation crews removed the existing insulation and replaced it with blown-in cellulose insulation, which is an energy efficient and eco-friendly product.
These customers are feeling more comfortable following their energy upgrades!
The attic space is one of the largest areas in the home. If it is not properly insulated and air sealed than it is one of the largest areas that energy escapes from. Removing the previous insulation and air sealing the area ensures that outside air wont come into the home, and replacing the insulation with blow-in cellulose insulation keeps the inside air in the home. This process makes the home more energy efficient and saves the homeowner money on their heating and air conditioning bill.
Attic insulation can make a huge difference in a home's comfort, which this homeowner was quick to find out. She and her kids suffered through very cold winters where they had to crank up a few space heaters (which cranked up their electric bill). Wanting to finally be warm this winter, she called Complete Home Solutions.
Our Home Comfort Specialist found that the attic was the primary cause behind this family's freezing cold winters. The lack of air sealing and insulation was allowing all of their warm, conditioned air to leak right out of the attic. Luckily, this was a pretty easy fix for CHS. We sealed the attic and applied blown in cellulose insulation. This family can put away the heaters this year, because their home will be nice and toasty!
This home owner in Lanham, MD was noticing that the 2nd floor of his townhouse, which had bedrooms and a home office, was becoming more difficult to keep comfortable. After a call to Complete Home Solutions, the homeowner received a Home Energy Audit of his home. Energy Audits are done by our trained Home Comfort Specialist, who check every aspect of our house not only for way to make you more comfortable, but also for way to cut down your monthly utility bill, and even check for eligible rebates on home performance upgrades. Following the audit our Specialist noticed a lack of insulation and air sealing in the attic of this townhome, which was allowing external temperatures to creep into the living space of the home, while leaving gaps for conditioned air to escape into the attic. On the day of the job our Home Comfort Technicians turned this inefficient attic into one that was now keeping the homeowner as comfortable as possible. They first removed all of the old batt insulation from the attic. The next step was installing baffles the eves of the home. The baffles allow air to circulate efficiently through the attic, while also allowing insulation to be blown in every corner of the attic. next was using our fire block spray foam to fill in any cracks in the floor of the attic that would be allowing air to escape , as well as sealing any gas around recessed lighting. The final step was a new layer of Cellulose insulation. Now that the Cellulose has been blown in this job is complete, and the homeowner in now working and sleeping in comfort.
