Attic Air Sealing Strategies in Severna Park
Old and inefficient insulation in the attic is the perfect set up for a cold and uncomfortable winter (as well as a hot and uncomfortable summer). This client called Complete Home Solutions to provide her with solutions on how to stay comfortable this coming winter.
Our home comfort specialist provided a few solutions for this homeowner's attic. Some of the things we did included air sealing the floor, installing SilverGlo foam board on the knee wall, spray foaming the sky light tunnel, and blowing in cellulose insulation. She will be ready for the cold, winter months now!
Attic Insulation and Air Sealing in Severna Park, MD
For this customer, we had to explain an important concept. Even if your attic has insulation, that doesn't mean that it's efficient. If you've never had air sealing done, then your insulation alone isn't really stopping any air leakage. As time goes on, and air filters through, that old insulation is going to continue to lose its efficiency. What we did for this homeowner was take out the old insulation, air seal the attic, and install our cellulose insulation. Now, this customer can say that they have a healthier, more comfortable and more energy efficient home.
Foam Board Garage Insulation in Lothian, MD
This client's garage knee wall area is connected to an up-stairs bedroom. The problem with that is the garage knee wall isn't insulated, meaning that air from the garage is constantly leaking in and out of that room (making it very hot in the summer and very cold in the winter). Our solution for this was to install 1/2" of polysio foam board and spray foam sealant. That upstairs room actually feels like a livable space now.
Cellulose Attic Insulation in Lothian, MD
Have you ever noticed how your upstairs is sweltering hot in the summer and your downstairs is bone-chilling cold in the winter? If your answer is yes, then you and this customer are right in the same boat. The problem? An unsealed and under-insulated attic. We needed to air seal the attic area (any penetrations, open cavities, rims & joists, etc) and blow in closed cell cellulose insulation. We fixed this customer's uncomfortable home and we can fix yours too!
Knee Wall Air Sealed in Lothian, MD
This homeowner had some ridiculously high electric bills for a house the size of his. He had CHS come out and find out how to fix this problem of his.
What we found was that he had an exposed knee wall that was causing a lot of air leakage and, consequently, pushing those electric bills up. We solved this problem by air sealing the knee wall with our closed cell spray foam. This has made a huge difference for the customer and they no longer have to worry about their electricity bills hiking up during the summer and winter.
