Attic Insulation Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Port Republic, Maryland has two kids. One kid had a room that is always a perfect temperature. The other kid had a room that is always freezing. She decided that it was finally time to call in a professional so that both of them could have warm rooms.

Complete Home Solutions came out and gave her an energy audit. We crawled up into her attic and immediately spotted a problem. There was not enough insulation and no air sealing. That will definitely make for an uncomfortable house. So, we air sealed any leaky spots that we found (with caulk and/or spray foam) and we installed our loose fill cellulose insulation. Now, the homeowner can be at ease knowing that both of her kids are staying warm.

Just having some insulation in your attic really isn't enough. If your insulation is deteriorating (just as parts in this picture are), your attic isn't functioning effectively. If you don't have any air sealing (just as this attic didn't), your attic isn't functioning effectively. We revealed all of this to these homeowners when we performed our full home energy audit. 

To upgrade this attic into one that would create a more comfortable home, we had to establish a thermal barrier. This meant air sealing any attic cavities/penetrations, replacing the old insulation with fresh, blown in cellulose, and installing insulation baffles. We also took the extra step to complete a "Super Deck," which is a way for the homeowner to have a storage space in the attic while maintaining that thermal barrier. The result has been a more comfortable home at a lower cost for these homeowners! 

This homeowner living in Broomes Island, Maryland had a problem with her house wasting energy. She was always cold in the winter, hot in the summer, and had crazy high utility bills. That's why she went looking for a company who could help her with her problems, and she found Complete Home Solutions. 

We found that the attic was a major source of this homeowner's air loss. We had a solution for this. We air sealed any attic penetrations (anything causing excess leakage), sealed the recessed light fixtures (which can lose a lot of energy), weatherized the attic hatch, and installed 11" of TruSoft cellulose insulation. 

This home in California, Maryland was having a hard time staying comfortable through the winters and summers. It was always either too cold or too hot. Not to mention, the utility bills every month were extremely high. Being introduced to Complete Home Solutions was just the thing this homeowner needed. 

We were able to make some installments that made a huge difference. Some of the work we did included weatherstripping, air sealing the attic, and replacing the old batt insulation with new, cellulose blown in insulation. Now the homeowner and her family are much more comfortable in their house and benefit from lower utility bills.   

The homeowners of this home in Lusby, Maryland noticed that their attic was lacking in insulation, especially around their air ducts and HVAC system. The homeowners called Complete Home Solutions to see how we could help. Our Auditor went into inspect the home. He agreed with the homeowners that there was insufficient and ineffective insulation in the attic. Our Production Team removed the old insulation and insulated any leaks that were in the air ducts and built a barrier around the HVAC system before insulating the attic with blow in cellulose insulation.
