The owners of this home in Fort Washington, Maryland were receiving high energy bills this winter and wanted to make their home more energy efficient to lower the bills. They called Complete Home Solutions to find a solution to the energy crisis. Our Auditor determined that the source of the energy waste was insufficient attic insulation.
Our Production Team used blown in cellulose insulation to bring the insulation levels to the recommended Dr. Energy Saver levels. This made the home more energy efficient and brought the energy bills to a lower cost.
Check out the transformation of this Fort Washington, MD attic! As southern Maryland got deeper into winter, this homeowner continued to notice that the second floor of his home was much colder than the first floor. Following a call to one of our Home Comfort Specialist, it was determined that a lot of the warmer air in the home, was escaping through cracks and insufficient insulation in the attic, and on the day of the job our Home Comfort Technicians took care of the rest. They began by removing the old insulation out of the homes attic, this step was followed by air sealing any crack, seams, and light fixtures with fire block spray foam. Next our crew installed baffles along the eaves of the home, this ensures that the attic has the proper air ventilation throughout the attic. The final step of this project was to blow in a new layer of Cellulose insulation. By taking these steps the air you pay form remains in your home keeps you and your family at optimal comfort.

Allison called Complete Home Solutions for one of our Home Energy Audits after she had noticed the temperature in the second floor was much different than the temperature on the first floor. The Audit examines multiple factors of your home to determine ways you could keep it more comfortable, as well as help it run more efficiently. Following the audit, our Home Comfort Specialist determined that a big cause of the uncomfortable upstairs temperatures was due to the condition of the attic. On the day of the installation, our Home Comfort Technicians worked their magic once again, air sealing any cracks in the attic floor, and around any recessed light that would be allowing heat to escape and cold air to make its way in. They then blew in a new layer of Cellulose insulation that would create a barrier in the attic that traps the warm air where it belongs, in the home, not the attic.

Gerald had used Complete Home Solutions in the past to address comfort issues throughout the top level of his split level Fort Washington, MD home. Our Home Comfort Specialist suggested 2 steps making his home less drafty and more comfortable. One recommendation was to remove the old boards and batt insulation from the soffit and replace it with spray foam insulation and new soffit boards. This process will create an air tight barrier, preventing any external temperatures from making its way into the home.
Gerald and his family noticed an immediate difference and could not be happier.

Following a Home Energy Audit, conducted by one of our trained Home Comfort Specialist, it was determined that the condition of her homes attic insulation could be resulting gin comfort issues, and was certainly costing her money on her utility bills each month.
