Adequate attic insulation is a vital part of any home. Without proper air sealing and insulation a home's attic space is susceptable to allowing air flow from the outside to the inside and vice versa. This air flow allows your air conditioning to escape your home making it less energy efficient and can make the home too hot in summer or too cold in the winter.
To solve this problem Complete Home Solutions removed the existing insulation, air saled the attic space, and reinsulated it with blown-in cellulose insulation. This keeps the air conditioning and heat in the home making it more energy efficient.
This homeowner in Temple Hills, Maryland did not realize how much energy and money she was wasting until she got to talking with Complete Home Solutions. After a Home Energy Audit, we explained to her how the insulation that she currently had in her attic was old and discolored, meaning that it was no longer effective. We also explained how without proper air sealing, the insulation alone would never be enough to keep her home comfortable.
We convinced her, and she allowed us to do some work up there, including air sealing and replacing the old insulation with our TruSoft Cellulose insulation. These resulted in a more comfortable home and lower utility costs for the homeowner! She was more than happy that she had given us a chance.
This homeowner in Temple Hills, MD was struggling to keep their townhouse comfortable. In the Summer they just couldn't keep that cool air in their home and the winter that warmer air just wouldn't stick around. Our Home Comfort Specialist was quick to notice the sparse insulation in the attic and several spots that needed to be air sealed to trap the air in side the Home rather than escaping through the attic. On the day of the project our Home Comfort Technicians made sure to seal any sport air could be leaking into the attic, and then blew in a fresh layer of cellulose insulation. Our crew also added our flags to indicate any wires or lighting that you may need to access in the future. The Homeowner is now relaxing and resting in comfort, while watching their energy bills lower to and amount hey hadn't seen since moving in.

This homeowner in Temple Hills, MD called Complete Home Solutions with concerns about the colder temperatures in the 2nd floor bedrooms of their home. Our Home Comfort Specialist conducted a full energy audit to determine not only what was causing their uncomfortable temperatures, but any other efficiency improvements that could be made to the home to make the homeowner more comfortable and save them money on their monthly utility bill. One big factor in the colder 2nd floor temperatures was the lack of insulation in the attic of the home. With older cellulose insulation that was not high enough to cover the floor joist, it allowed the colder winter air in the attic to make its way into the home.
On the day of the install our Home Comfort Technicians air sealed any cracks that could be allowing air to move between the attic and the rest of the home before laying down a new layer of blown in cellulose. This process traps the cold air in the attic and traps the warmer air where it belongs, in your home.
The homeowner is now resting in comfort and has noticed a drop in their monthly utility bill from this project along with other small improvements our Specialist recommended during the Energy Audit.
Theotis called Complete Home Solutions after hearing from a relative about the upgrades made to their home. Theotis was experiencing un uncomfortable conditions in the second floor of his home, and after an examination of his home by one of our Home Comfort Technicians, it was determined that the condition of the home's attic was a culprit. 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.
These improvements to the attic will help the efficiency of her home helping his HVAC system run less frequently, and also help with comfort throughout the home by keeping the conditioned air in the living space of the home and creating a proper barrier between the living space and attic temperatures.
