This home in Landover, Maryland was not living up to its fullest potential. Its owner constantly struggled with hot summers and cold winters. She could never get her house at a comfortable temperature.
Complete Home Solutions deals with these kinds of problems everyday, and we know just how to fix them. A home energy audit narrows down the biggest problems in the house and allows us to make recommendations to the homeowner on how to correct them. In this case, the attic was our biggest issue. We took out the old insulation, air sealed (a really important step), and blew in cellulose insulation. Now, no matter what the weather is like outside, this homeowner can stay comfortable!
Can you tell that these two photos are looking in the same attic? Melvin's Landover, MD home was very uncomfortable, especially on the second floor. Following a call to Complete Home Solutions, our Home Comfort Specialist was able to determine why very quickly. The condition of this attic left a lot to be desired helping with comfort and efficiency issues throughout the home. On the day of the job, our Home Comfort Technicians began the transformation of this attic pulling back the existing insulation to properly air seal the floor, which prevents any conditioned air from being able to escape the living space of the home. Next, our crew install baffles along the eaves of the home to ensure proper ventilation and that we could blow in the correct amount of cellulose to every inch of the attic. The final step was to blow in 16 inches of new stabilized cellulose insulation, which creates the barrier needed between the extreme temperatures of your attic and the rest of your home.
Melvin noticed an immediate difference in comfort and is looking forward to a comfortable home for years to come.

Inadequate crawl space insulation allows outside air to seep into your home. Having proper sealing in the crawl space prevents moisture from coming into the crawl space which allows the the existing insulation to sag.
The homeowners of this house in Riverdale, Maryland had complaints of cold floors this winter and uncofortable temperatures in the 1st floor of thier home. Complete Home Solutions' auditor determined that the problem was no insulation in the crawl space allowing cold air to seep into the home and no sealing on the floor allowing potentially damaging moisture to enter the crawl space. Our Production Team installed insulation in the home and sealed the space to prevent moisture from coming into the crawl space.
This home in Beltsville, Maryland had insufficient attic insulation and significant air leaks in the home. The homeowners called Complete Home Solutions to find the source of the home's problems. Our Auditor inspected the home and determined that the problem was caused by air leaks in the attic allowing the flow of inside and outside air through the house. To make the home more energy efficient, our crews removed the existing insulation and used spray foam insulation on the walls to insulate and air seal the attic. They replaced the insulation with Trusoft blown-in cellulose insulation which is a greener and more energy efficient solution.

This homeowner from Bladensburg, Maryland was having a difficult time keeping his house warm. Certain rooms would be an okay temperature, but other areas would get to be extremely cold and uncomfortable. Fortunately, he came across Complete Home Solutions.
An energy audit lead us to the root of the problem. The crawl space in this house had some old insulation in the ceiling, but there was nothing really keeping the cold air from creeping in. We corrected this by taking out the old insulation and replacing it with a spray foam that would act as both an air sealant and an insulator. This improvement has drastically changed the comfort of this house for the better!
