Attic Insulation Before & After Photos

These clients had just bought a new home and knew that the insulation was pretty dated. They wanted to have a company come out and see what kind of solutions they could offer for their attic. They found Complete Home Solutions' number and called us up to come out. 

Our home comfort specialist evaluated the house and advised them that installing some new insulation would certainly be a benefit, but they would also need air sealing if they wanted the insulation to work effectively. Air can still move through insulation if there is nothing blocking it. By doing this, we were able to create a thermal barrier for the conditioned space, which means a more comfortable home for this family. 

This homeowner living in Pomfret, Maryland was losing a lot of money every month to their utility bills. They were tired of throwing money away and decided to call Complete Home Solutions to find out how to make their house more efficient.

An energy audit lead pointed to the attic as the main source for energy loss. There was very little insulation and no air sealing. We sealed all around the the attic flooring to close up any gaps or cracks that were letting air escape. We then installed several inches of blown-in cellulose insulation. This homeowner now spends significantly less money every month!  

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.  

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!
