This home had very old insulation in the attic (and no air sealing). That's why it comes as no surprise that the homeowner suffered through such extreme temperature differences throughout the house. Summers and winters were especially brutal! CHS was able to make some upgrades that would resolve these problems.
We had to remove the old insulation (you can see how worn it was from the extreme discoloration in the picture), caulk all the floor boards and joists, and apply blown-in cellulose insulation. The end result is a much more comfortable house that is costing the owner less.
This homeowner was experiencing drafts and hot spots in their home in the spring. They also previously had insulation within the attic. Our Home Comfort Specialist went out to do some infrared imaging and a blower door test, which helps to see where the problem areas are within the home. Our Home Comfort Specialist then recommended blown-in cellulose insulation compared to the loose fill fiberglass that was currently in their attic. cellulose insulation is not only environmentally friendlier than fiberglass insulation it also deters pest and does not support any fungal growth if moisture ever gets into your attic. Cellulose insulation also reduces air flow resulting in warmer rooms in the winter and cooler rooms in the summer.
The homeowner is now experiencing fewer drafts, less hot spots, and is even saving money on their utility bill! The homeowner is so much more comfortable and so happy with the work Complete Home Solutions did on their home!
Ryan called Complete Home Solutions after a very hot and humid summer. His current aging A/C system was not quite getting the job done anymore when it came to home comfort. Ryan had used Complete Home Solutions for spray foam work in the past, so when he needed to decide to make the upgrade, he knew who to call. After our Home Comfort Specialist was able to properly size and quote the system, our HVAC Technicians were able to knock out the installation with ease. Ryan couldn't be happier and is looking forward to years of comfort in his Chesapeake Beach, MD home.

This Colonial style home in Prince Frederick, Maryland was experiencing drafts and high energy bills because there was not enough insulation in their attic.
Our Home Comfort Specialist performed an extensive home energy evaluation to determine insulation levels and where the home was leaking air. The Production Crew provided airsealing measures to prevent future air leakage. They also installed cellulose insulation in the attic to improve the overall comfort of the home and to lower the homeowner's utility bills.
The homeowners of this house in Prince Frederick, Maryland wanted to fix their attic insulation. Knowing that poorly insulated attic spaces makes a home less energy efficient. The homeowners called Complete Home Solutions and our Production Team removed the insufficient insulation and replaced it with Dr. Energy Saver's recommended levels of blow-in cellulose insulation.
