Attic Insulation Before & After Photos

This split level home in Upper Marlboro, Maryland was suffering from high energy bills as well as hot and cold spots in the home.

Our Auditor performed a home energy audit to determine where the home was leaking air and lacking adequate insulation levels. The Production crew provided air sealing to prevent any future air leakage. They also added blown in cellulose insulation to R-49 Value to lower energy bills and improve the overall comfort of the home.

Our clients in Upper Marlboro had an attic space that wasn't properly insulated. We air sealed the attic and then added the correct amount of insulation. As a result, these homeowners will have significantly lower energy costs and a more comfortable home.

The insulation in this client's attic is in pretty rough condition. All of those "dirty" spots are signs that the insulation isn't working right. What we find to be the case a lot of times (and is true here also) is that there is no air sealing underneath the insulation. Without air sealing, air is free to filter in and out of the attic area (often causing discomfort and health concerns). We took out the old insulation (since it was too far deteriorated), air sealed the attic floors, and blew in cellulose insulation. This will create a much more energy efficiency home and make a major difference for the homeowner.  

This homeowner had an uncomfortable home, but didn't think that the attic was really the problem - he already had insulation in his attic and was convinced that the problem must have been somewhere else. Wanting to figure out where this problem spot was, he asked Complete Home Solutions to perform an energy audit for his home. 

We found that, although the attic did indeed have insulation, it was actually still leaking air in and out of the home, causing major discomfort. The way to correct this attic so that it facilitated a more comfortable home was to air seal all of the floor joists in the attic and to install more loose fill cellulose insulation. The homeowner was pleasantly surprised by the difference that these changes made to the overall comfort in his home. 

This Colonial style home in Crofton was suffing from very high energy bills.

Our Auditor performed a complete home energy assessment to determine where the home was leaking air and losing energy. The Production crew provided air sealing to prevent future air leakage. We also installed blown in cellulose insulation to lower the customer's energy bills and improve the overall comfort of the home.
