Chris stumbled upon Complete Home Solutions at a local home show, and after talking to one of our Home Comfort Specialist, was very interested in having a Home Energy Audit to determine ways he could be saving on utilities each month, while also making his home more comfortable. After a full Home Energy Audit was completed by one of our Home Comfort Specialist, it was determined that the insulation levels in Nick's house could also be improved to help with comfort and efficiency. On the day of the job, our Home Comfort Technicians began air sealing the attic with fire block spray foam. The spray foam is applied to our recessed light covers, top plates, and any outlets in the attic to ensure that the air you pay to heat or cool stays in the living space of your home. The next step in this attic was to vent the bath fans out through the roof. If your fans are not vented properly, it can create moisture issues in your attic. The final step of this attic project was to blow in new Cellulose insulation, which creates a 16 inch barrier between the attic condition and the rest of your home. As you can see in this picture, we install rulers throughout the attic to show our customers just how much of a difference our insulation makes.

This home in Shady Side, MD suffered from drafts coming through their windows causing the home to be uncomfortable temperatures and the homeowners' energy bill to be high.
To solve this Our Production Crew air sealed the windows to prevent further air leakage and improve the overall comfort and efficiency of the home.
Bonnie's home in North Beach, MD was very uncomfortable throughout the second floor. She knew the insulation was leading to the problem, however, she was hesitant to address the problem due to losing her valuable storage space. After another unbearable summer, Bonnie had had enough and called Complete Home Solutions. After a full home examination from one of our Home Comfort Specialist, it was determined that the condition of the home's attic insulation was a leading culprit in the home's uncomfortable upstairs temperatures. While comfort was a priority, Stephen did not want to lose the valuable storage space his attic currently had, luckily for Stephen, we had a solution. 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. When rebuilding the super deck for storage, we use our SilverGlo foam board underneath the plywood base to ensure that no areas are missed when related to the insulated thermal barrier.
Bonnie's attic is now prepared to keep her comfortable for years to come, and he can't wait to see how the improvement help as the cold weather approaches.
