Poor air sealing and/or insulation in your attic can mean that your house is seriously lacking in terms of efficiency, comfort, and health. Such was the case with this customer. We needed to add quite a bit of air sealing around this attic's floor boards and joists in order to bring it up to standard. We also added our blown-in cellulose insulation. It's amazing what a big difference these two things can make! We're happy to add another satisfied customer to our list!
This client had lived in her home for about 10 years and, year after year, seemed to face the same problem. Her upstairs got unbearably hot in the summer months. Before peak heat season this year, she decided to call up Complete Home Solutions to provide her with a solution.
Our auditor found that air sealing and insulating the attic would create a controlled home environment (and consequently a comfortable home too). If your attic is left untreated, you are leaving opportunity for hot, hot air to continuously flow in to your living space. At this point, turning up your air conditioning is going to do nothing except raise your electric bill. This client now has a comfortable home that stays as cool or warm as she wants it to.
This homeowner had a home with an attached garage. This is a pretty common set up, but what happens when the knee-wall between your garage and up-stairs bedroom is poorly insulated? That bedroom, and your house in general, is going to have a lot of trouble keeping a comfortable temperature year round (which is what this homeowner was experiencing).
Complete Home Solutions (as our name entails) had the solution for this. We took down the old insulation (which wasn't helping to stop air leakage as it was) and used a newer method for air sealing and insulating. We applied spray foam sealant first, then 1/2" of polysio foam board insulation on top of that and sealed the edges with caulk. This would have a huge impact on the overall comfort of this homeowner!
This home in Waldorf, Maryland was suffering from cold drafts and rooms, and uncomfortable temperatures this winter. The homeowners called Complete Home Solution to see if we could help. Our Auditor determined that the source of the cold temperatures in the home was due to insufficient and ineffectve attic insulation.
Our Production Team removed the existing insulation and air sealed the space and then used blow in cellulose insulation to make the home more energy efficient and comfortable for the homeowners.
