This homeowner in Temple Hills, MD called Complete Home Solutions with concerns about the colder temperatures in the 2nd floor bedrooms of their home. Our Home Comfort Specialist conducted a full energy audit to determine not only what was causing their uncomfortable temperatures, but any other efficiency improvements that could be made to the home to make the homeowner more comfortable and save them money on their monthly utility bill. One big factor in the colder 2nd floor temperatures was the lack of insulation in the attic of the home. With older cellulose insulation that was not high enough to cover the floor joist, it allowed the colder winter air in the attic to make its way into the home.
On the day of the install our Home Comfort Technicians air sealed any cracks that could be allowing air to move between the attic and the rest of the home before laying down a new layer of blown in cellulose. This process traps the cold air in the attic and traps the warmer air where it belongs, in your home.
The homeowner is now resting in comfort and has noticed a drop in their monthly utility bill from this project along with other small improvements our Specialist recommended during the Energy Audit.
Theotis called Complete Home Solutions after hearing from a relative about the upgrades made to their home. Theotis was experiencing un uncomfortable conditions in the second floor of his home, and after an examination of his home by one of our Home Comfort Technicians, it was determined that the condition of the home's attic was a culprit. On the day our crew began work on the attic they began by pulling back the existing insulation to ensure the area was properly air sealed. Air sealing ensures that there are no seams or cracks around top plates, recessed lights, or outlets that could allow conditioned air to rise and escape from the living area of your home. The next step was building an attic hatch damn at the entrance to the attic. This process allows our crew to blow insulation as close to your attic hatch as possible while also making the entryway clean if you have to get into your attic. The final step is to add a new blanket of Cellulose insulation to the attic to ensure 16 inches of insulation all the way around the attic.
These improvements to the attic will help the efficiency of her home helping his HVAC system run less frequently, and also help with comfort throughout the home by keeping the conditioned air in the living space of the home and creating a proper barrier between the living space and attic temperatures.

This homeowner living in Clarksburg, Maryland had some HVAC work done in her home recently and was surprised when the guy told her that her insulation wasn’t installed right. She was troubled by this new-found information, she decided to get it taken care of right away!
Ms. Homeowner called Complete Home Solutions to inspect her attic – and the rest of her house while we were at it – with our home energy audit. We knew just what to do to fix her predicament. We started off by taking out the old insulation – which was a complete mess – and air sealing the attic with caulking and weather stripping. We then insulated the attic with loose fill cellulose insulation. She was more than relieved to have her attic taken care of and is looking forward to the awesome results that will come from it!
This homeowner had an energy evaluation performed on their home to find out why their home was not cooling and heating evenly.
The attic kneewalls were not insulated property and were causing the home to lose a lot of energy. They chose to have our SilverGlo rigid foam board insulation with radiant barrier installed.
This customer is very happy that they chose our company to perform this work. The crew was courteous and professional did an excellent clean-up job. This customer's home is much more comfortable now and they are able to enjoy the home more especially during extreme temperatures!
