Before & After Photos

After moving into her Tracys Landing, MD home last year, Carrie had a Home Energy Audit conducted by Complete Home Solutions to determine how energy efficient the house was. Following the Audit, our Home Comfort Specialist found several areas of the home that could be enhanced to improve on home efficiency and home comfort.  Carrie followed all of the recommendations and began to chip away at each project. Our crew began by first fully encapsulating her crawl space. They then installed a new mini-split HVAC system, and the final improvement was to properly air seal and insulate the attic. As you can see above the attic had old fiberglass batt insulation that was well below current standards to keep the home properly insulated. To fix the comfort issues our crew began by pulling back the old insulation and air sealing any recessed light covers, top plates, and cracks in the drywall then blew in a fresh layer of cellulose insulation to give this home a proper 16 inches of insulation. By air sealing it prevents any conditioned air from escaping the living space of your home, and adding insulation creates a 16in barrier between the attic temperature and the rest of your home.

Carrie's home has now been properly insulated and sealed from top to bottom. These steps will help keep her home comfortable all year round, and also help her HVAC system run less, saving money on monthly utility bills.

Carrie bought her home last fall and called Complete Home Solutions to determine the cause of the cold floors throughout the first level over the winter. upon arrival, our Home Comfort Specialist conducted a full inspection of the home to determine any areas of concern that could be resulting in uncomfortable temperatures. Following the inspection, the Specialist determined that the main source of any uncomfortable temperatures were coming from a crawl space that was in bad shape. The recommendation made was to fully encapsulate the crawl space to create an area isolated from the earth and outside elements.  On the day of the encapsulation, our Home Comfort Technicians began by removing the old vapor barrier and insulation from the crawl space., this provided an empty area to begin the transformation. They then installed our Clean space vapor barrier which when bolted to the walls of the crawl space creates a seal that prevents any moisture or pest from entering the crawl from below. Following the installation of the vapor barrier, our Technicians used a 2 part closed cell spray foam to insulate and seal the walls. This process restricts any air from coming through the vents or cinder blocks in the crawl. The final step of this encapsulation is to install a dehumidifier that regulates the humidity to a consistent 50-55%. 

Following the work, Carrie could not be happier with the look or performance of her new crawl space and has already noticed a difference in the temperature of her home.

This homeowner was having some issues with her roof leaking. She got the roof fixed, but some of her insulation in the attic got wet and damaged. She wanted a reliable contractor to come and fix her problem. She found Complete Home Solutions. 

Not only were we able to replace the damaged insulation, but we also air sealed any cavities and penetrations that we found, installed a Super Platform Catwalk/ Insulation Dam (so that the owner can access her HVAC system and walk around), and installed more of our TruSoft cellulose insulation, bringing insulation levels to R-49 (the BPI standard for our climate zone). This homeowner now has a dry attic and a more energy efficient home. 

Guy called Complete Home Solutions to address the comfort problems on the second floor of his Galesville, MD home. Upon further review from one of our trained Home Comfort Specialist, it was determined that the lack of air sealing and insulation in the home's attic was a leading cause of the uncomfortable conditions. On the day of the job, our Home Comfort Technicians began air sealing the attic with fire block spray foam.  The spray foam is applied to our recessed light covers, top plates, and any outlets in the attic to ensure that the air you pay to heat or cool stays in the living space of your home. The next step in this attic was to vent the bath fans out through the roof. If your fans are not vented properly, it can create moisture issues in your attic. The final step of this attic project was to blow in new Cellulose insulation, which creates a 16 inch barrier between the attic condition and the rest of your home. As you can see in this picture, we install rulers throughout the attic to show our customers just how much of a difference our insulation makes. Nicholas noticed an immediate difference, even in mild temperatures, and can't wait to see how his house performs in the future.

This classic Cape Cod style home in Annapolis was suffering from drafts and high energy bills.

We performed a home energy audit to identify the areas in the home where air was leaking.  The production crew provided air sealing in the attic and other areas of the home to prevent future air leakage, lower the customer's utility bills, and make the home more comfortable overall. We also spray foam insulated this unconditioned closet to make it part of the conditioned space of the home.
