This customer of ours was a brand new homeowner - he had just purchased his house about a month before contacting us. Of course he had a home inspector check the house out and make sure that everything was squared away. One thing that the inspector found was that there was insufficient insulation and air sealing. He wanted to hire a reliable company to fix this for them.
He hired Complete Home Solutions to take care of his new home! As a part of our solution for him, we air sealed the attic and applied fresh cellulose insulation. The customer also had a specific request for ventilation - he wanted a solar powered attic fan. We were more than happy to oblige and had that installed as well. He can now expect to move into a comfortable home at an affordable cost.
Proper sealing of air ducts allows adequate airflow throughout the home. a lack of dealing on the air ducts allows air to escape before it reaches the living spaces of the home.

Ben bought his College Park, MD home last year and noticed immediately that the upstairs of the home was much harder to keep comfortable than the main level or basement. Following an inspection from one of our Home Comfort Specialist, it was determined that the insulation level was well below current standards, and no air sealing to speak of, that this was a primary source for air leakage and uncomfortable temperatures throughout the rest of the house. On the day of the job, our Home Comfort technicians began by moving the old insulation to properly air seal the attic, which prevents conditioned air from escaping the living space of your home. We use our fire block foam the seal top plates, recessed lights, drywall seams, and attic hatches to make sure there are no spots for air to escape. The next step was to blow in new cellulose insulation to make sure the attic was properly insulated to 18inches all the way around.
Ben noticed an immediate difference following the upgrades, and can't wait to see the drop in his energy usage, from the improvements made.

This homeowner purchased a home in Hyattsville, MD that was built in 1950. The home was in need of many energy efficient upgrades. Our home comfort specialist, Merv Roussell, performed a home energy audit and recommended a number of improvements. We ran a blower door test and found that the home was 1.96 leaker than a home its size should be. Part of the air leakage came from the attic where there were multiple problems: the home had attic flooring which made it difficult to air seal the penetrations and there was insufficient insulation levels through the attic. We removed the attic flooring, air sealed all the pentrations to stop the excessive air leake. We installed TruSoft cellulose insulation to bring the insulation levels up to R-49 as recommended for our climate zone. These homeowners have moved into the home and are feeling the benefits of these improvements.
