Complete Home Solutions Before & After Photos

After moving into her White Plains, MD home last year, Evelyn had a Home Energy Audit conducted by Complete Home Solutions to determine how energy efficient the house was. Following the Audit, our Home Comfort Specialist found several areas of the home that could be enhanced to improve on home efficiency and home comfort.  Evelyn followed all of the recommendations and began to chip away at each project. Our crew began by first fully encapsulating her crawl space. They then installed a new mini-split HVAC system, and the final improvement was to properly air seal and insulate the attic. As you can see above the attic had old fiberglass batt insulation that was well below current standards to keep the home properly insulated. To fix the comfort issues our crew began by pulling back the old insulation and air sealing any recessed light covers, top plates, and cracks in the drywall then blew in a fresh layer of cellulose insulation to give this home a proper 16 inches of insulation. By air sealing it prevents any conditioned air from escaping the living space of your home, and adding insulation creates a 16in barrier between the attic temperature and the rest of your home.

Evelyn home has now been properly insulated and sealed from top to bottom. These steps will help keep her home comfortable all year round, and also help her HVAC system run less, saving money on monthly utility bills.

A homeowner in LaPlata, Maryland called Complete Home Solutions with the complaint of a drafty and chilly home. We sent our Auditor to investigate the source of the problem. It was determined that the cause of the drafts was inssufficient insulation in our attic.

Our Production Team sealed in the attic with spray foam insulation to keep out drafts making the home warmer and more energy efficient.

The homeowners of this house in La Plata, MD had suffered from cold floors all winter and uncomfortable temperatures in the home. The homeowners called Complete Home Solutions to find the sourse of the problems. Our Auditor went to the home in La Plata and determined that the source of the problem was moisture in the crawl space that was causing the insulation to sag away from the floor and become ineffective. Our Production Team went into the home and sealed the crawl space. They used plastic to seal the floor to prevent moisture from seeping into the crawl space and removed the old insulation and replaced it before sealing the insulation off seperate from the floor to keep the air from the home from seeping through any cracks in the floor or gaps in the insulation.

This homeowner living in La Plata, Maryland did not thinking that her home was acting as energy efficiently as it should have been. She wanted a professional to show her how she could improve. She was introduced to Complete Home Solutions who provided her with a home energy audit. 

Two of the bigger improvements that we were able to make for her house were air sealing and insulating the attic with loose fill cellulose insulation. We also weatherstripped around the doors and windows and made a few other minor improvements. We did what the homeowner wanted and really increased the energy efficiency of this home. 

When we at Complete Home Solutions look at an attic like this, we see some major issues. The biggest one is the lack of air sealing. When we look at the floors and walls we should be seeing some form of air sealing...we don't. We should also see an attic filled with at least 16 inches of good insulation... we don't see that either. Instead, what we see is a home that is wasting its energy and money trying to reach a comfortable temperature. By air sealing and blowing in cellulose insulation, we were able to correct these problems and deliver a comfortable house to a much happier family.
