This townhome in Annapolis, Maryland is just the right size for this small family. The one complaint that they have is how drafty some of the rooms get. In the winter time, it is a real hassle to keep all of the rooms at a comfortable temperature, and it costs them quite a bit of money in utility bills to do it. Fortunately, they were introduced to Complete Home Solutions before it became too late this year!
We gave the homeowners a Home Energy Audit to see what exactly we could do to fix this problem. We found that the attic was the number one issue when it came to their energy efficiency levels. The insulation that was up there was developing grey and black patches, indicating that it was no longer any good. So, we removed that, performed some air sealing along the rim joists and attic penetrations (spots that were allowing air leakage), and installed our TruSoft Cellulose insulation. Now, we are proud to say that the family is more comfortable than they have ever been in their home and are ready to brave the winter!
These two homeowners finally retired and were ready to enjoy the good life. Being home a lot more often, they began to notice how uncomfortable their house could be. They had a very hot and humid upstairs during the summer and cold and clammy downstairs during the winter. Wanting to be able to enjoy their home, they called up Complete Home Solutions to provide them with the solutions they needed.
Air sealing and insulation were the two major upgrades that we made in the attic. Doing this stopped the major air leakage that was creating such an inconsistent environment inside the home. Just a couple of weeks after making these improvements, we have already heard back from these clients about how amazed they are with the complete difference in their house's feel. CHS is thrilled to have made our clients so satisfied with our work!
This homeowner had a real problem with her house - and it had to do with her comfort. In the winter, the difference between her upstairs and downstairs temperature was drastic - meaning that her upstairs was okay, but her downstairs was absolutely freezing. In the summer, it was the complete opposite - the upstairs was so hot that they felt they couldn't even breath sometimes.
Complete Home Solutions was able to provide some solutions to this serious comfort problem. In cases like this, one of the biggest things that we can do to help the situation is to treat the attic. Air sealing and insulating (with blown in cellulose insulation) creates a healthy thermal barrier that stops the warm air from leaking out in the winter and stops the hot air from getting in in the summer.
This homeowner in Abell, MD was experiencing high utility bills and couldn't figure out why. They called us, Complete Home Solutions to figure out why this was happening. Our Home Comfort Specialist found that the homeowner's crawl space had some old and damaged lining. This means that she was losing energy, from trying to keep the home comfortable. Air from the outside was moving freely into her home from the crawl space area. We recommended a full crawl space encapsulation to help fix her issue!
Our Home Comfort Technicians ending up taking out the damaged lining out and any old insulation. They then proceeded in sealing up the vents and penetration into the crawl space and performed our CleanSpace Encapsulation. This made a huge difference! Just look how clean that crawl space looks now, you could eat off the floor.
The homeowner no longer needs to fight the uncomfortable temperatures in their home and a bonus is that their family is breathing in cleaner and healthier air.

This homeowner in Annapolis, MD had a mixture of batt and older cellulose insulation in their attic. This was causing gaps in their insulation that allow outside seasonal air to make its way into the 2nd floor of the home. Following a call to Complete Home Solutions, our Home Comfort Specialist recommended removing the older insulation and blowing in a new surface of cellulose insulation, and our Home Comfort Technicians took care of the rest including air sealing any gaps in the attic floor that could allow conditioned air to escape.
