New Attic Insulation in Glen Burnie, MD
This home in Glen Burnie was suffering from cold drafty floors and rooms in the winter that were very uncomfortable while they were paying high bills to heat their home. The homeowner hired Complete Home Solutions to find out why their home was so cold and to provide solutions to these problems. After completion of an Energy Audit, our Home Comfort Specialist found that the attic had significant leaks and old insulation that wasn't keeping the warm air in. Our Production Crew went in and removed all of the old fiberglass insulation and then air sealed all the top plates and sealed around all the duct work. After everything was sealed up our crews added Cellulose Insulation on top to make sure the insulation had a proper R-Value to keep all the warm air in and circulating in the home!
It made an amazing difference to this family, the home is much more comfortable and energy efficient and their quality of life enhanced!
Blown in Insulation in Glen Burnie, MD
Ms. Homeowner living in Glen Burnie enjoys having her family over every Sunday after church. Every time her family comes over, they comment about how cold her house always is. After a little while, she finally admitted that they might be right.
Complete Home Solutions could help her with that. We found out that by making a few adjustments in the attic, we could make a drastic difference. We took out the funky insulation that was in the attic from before, air sealed any leaky spots, and installed our blown in cellulose insulation. Now Ms. Homeowner can have her family over and know that they'll be comfortable in her home!
Closed-Cell Cellulose Insulation in Glen Burnie, MD
You can see from the picture on the left that this home's attic had no air sealing whatsoever and fairly limited insulation. How does this translate to the homeowner's comfort? Very hot rooms in the summer time (especially upstairs) and cold rooms in the winter.
CHS knew that creating a thermal barrier in the attic would correct this problem. Caulking the attic floors and applying blown in cellulose insulation was able to accomplish the job. Now the homeowner is perfectly comfortable in their house!
Attic Air Sealed in Glen Burnie, MD
What do you need to create a thermal barrier in your attic? Generally, air sealing and insulation. What happens if you don't have a thermal barrier in your attic? Ask this customer. Humid, hot summers and freezing, cold winters. Having to constantly adjust the AC/Heat (while throwing money out the window). He was very annoyed with his home's comfort (or lack there of).
He found a company who he knew could fix this problem for him...Complete Home Solutions. We certainly lived up to those expectations. We had to move the old insulation in the attic to see what areas needed to be sealed in the attic and then blew in closed-cell cellulose insulation.

Having enough insulation in your attic is an essential part to maintaining a comfortable home at an affordable cost - this is something that more and more people are realizing today. Air sealing is another essential part to achieving this - something that a lot of people don't realize.
Complete Home Solutions was able to do both of these things (air sealing and insulating) for this customer's attic - using blown in cellulose to insulate. These improvements will keep her home cool in the summer, warm in the winter, and lower her utility bills.
