This homeowner in Port Republic, Maryland has two kids. One kid had a room that is always a perfect temperature. The other kid had a room that is always freezing. She decided that it was finally time to call in a professional so that both of them could have warm rooms.
Complete Home Solutions came out and gave her an energy audit. We crawled up into her attic and immediately spotted a problem. There was not enough insulation and no air sealing. That will definitely make for an uncomfortable house. So, we air sealed any leaky spots that we found (with caulk and/or spray foam) and we installed our loose fill cellulose insulation. Now, the homeowner can be at ease knowing that both of her kids are staying warm.
This customers basement wall was uninsulated when we arrived, which can result in a very cold and uncomfortable basement. This is because the bricks are not an effective barrier, air easily flows through these block walls. Block walls are hollow, have a big honeycomb of airspace inside them and can be very porous. Any type of boiler, furnace, water heater or ducts in the basement are wasting the heat that comes off them instead of warmer the room or the floors above it. To fix these issues we installed a SilverGlo foam board which reduces heat flow, stop airflow through the walls, and provide a better seal from your basement walls to the outside of your house. In result the basement can be cooled or heated more effectively while using less energy, all of these things mean a more comfortable home!
This homeowner living in Broomes Island, Maryland had a problem with her house wasting energy. She was always cold in the winter, hot in the summer, and had crazy high utility bills. That's why she went looking for a company who could help her with her problems, and she found Complete Home Solutions.
We found that the attic was a major source of this homeowner's air loss. We had a solution for this. We air sealed any attic penetrations (anything causing excess leakage), sealed the recessed light fixtures (which can lose a lot of energy), weatherized the attic hatch, and installed 11" of TruSoft cellulose insulation.
A lack of insulation and air sealing in your attic can really cause a lot of problem in your home. High utility bills and discomfort were the two that this client complained to us about. Air sealing the attic floors and walls with foam board and caulk was a major upgrade for this home. Then, to top it off, we blew in a bunch of closed cell cellulose insulation. These two upgrades will work together to create an efficient and comfortable home for this client.
This home in Saint Leonard, Maryland had an attic that needed some serious TLC. It was not properly air sealed and the insulation that was up there was not doing its job. Luckily, the homeowner knew who to call to get the job done.
Complete Home Solutions gave an energy audit to figure out what needed to be done to upgrade this attic. We first needed to take out all of the old insulation to make way for updates. We then were able to apply air sealing to the attic and add in new blown-in cellulose insulation. Now the attic is able to provide the homeowner with a comfortable home!
