This homeowner in Welcome, Maryland called Complete Home Solutions to have a free home audit to find the source of the cold drafts and uncomfortable temperatures in their home. Our Auditor determined that the source of the problem was insufficient insulation in the attic.
Our Production Team provided blow in cellulose insulation to solve the uncomfortable temperatures and cold drafts in the home.
This home in Greenbelt, MD was suffering from the heat in summer and the home's Air Conditioning just couldn't keep up! After completion of a Home Energy Audit our Home Comfort Specialist found that this home's attic was not properly air sealed nor was the insulation up to recommended code. To fix this our production crew went in and first Air Sealed all the top plates, the gable wall, and around any recessed light fixtures. Once everything was air sealed our crew then blew in Cellulose Insulation until it reached the recommended R-Value! Now the homeowner is nice and cool!
Cold and drafty rooms are no fun for anyone. These homeowners decided to be proactive and get their attic weatherized before it started getting really cold. Of course, Complete Home Solutions was more than happy to help them in this effort.
We took a few different measures in order to take care of this attic (air sealing, insulating, etc). Pictured here specifically is how we treated the skylight. The way the skylight was insulated before was not really doing much of anything. When we performed our initial home energy audit, our home comfort specialist found that the skylight did indeed have bad air leakage (making it a source for discomfort in the home). We took care of this by replacing the old insulation with new closed cell spray foam insulation (which air seals at the same time). This skylight won't be leaking any more air!
Adequate attic insulation is a vital part of any home. Without proper air sealing and insulation a home's attic space is susceptable to allowing air flow from the outside to the inside and vice versa. This air flow allows your air conditioning to escape your home making it less energy efficient and can make the home too hot in summer or too cold in the winter.
To solve this problem Complete Home Solutions removed the existing insulation, air saled the attic space, and reinsulated it with blown-in cellulose insulation. This keeps the air conditioning and heat in the home making it more energy efficient.
This homeowner in Temple Hills, MD was struggling to keep their townhouse comfortable. In the Summer they just couldn't keep that cool air in their home and the winter that warmer air just wouldn't stick around. Our Home Comfort Specialist was quick to notice the sparse insulation in the attic and several spots that needed to be air sealed to trap the air in side the Home rather than escaping through the attic. On the day of the project our Home Comfort Technicians made sure to seal any sport air could be leaking into the attic, and then blew in a fresh layer of cellulose insulation. Our crew also added our flags to indicate any wires or lighting that you may need to access in the future. The Homeowner is now relaxing and resting in comfort, while watching their energy bills lower to and amount hey hadn't seen since moving in.
