Theotis called Complete Home Solutions after hearing from a relative about the upgrades made to their home. Theotis was experiencing un uncomfortable conditions in the second floor of his home, and after an examination of his home by one of our Home Comfort Technicians, it was determined that the condition of the home's attic was a culprit. On the day our crew began work on the attic they began by pulling back the existing insulation to ensure the area was properly air sealed. Air sealing ensures that there are no seams or cracks around top plates, recessed lights, or outlets that could allow conditioned air to rise and escape from the living area of your home. The next step was building an attic hatch damn at the entrance to the attic. This process allows our crew to blow insulation as close to your attic hatch as possible while also making the entryway clean if you have to get into your attic. The final step is to add a new blanket of Cellulose insulation to the attic to ensure 16 inches of insulation all the way around the attic.
These improvements to the attic will help the efficiency of her home helping his HVAC system run less frequently, and also help with comfort throughout the home by keeping the conditioned air in the living space of the home and creating a proper barrier between the living space and attic temperatures.

This homeowner living in Clarksburg, Maryland had some HVAC work done in her home recently and was surprised when the guy told her that her insulation wasn’t installed right. She was troubled by this new-found information, she decided to get it taken care of right away!
Ms. Homeowner called Complete Home Solutions to inspect her attic – and the rest of her house while we were at it – with our home energy audit. We knew just what to do to fix her predicament. We started off by taking out the old insulation – which was a complete mess – and air sealing the attic with caulking and weather stripping. We then insulated the attic with loose fill cellulose insulation. She was more than relieved to have her attic taken care of and is looking forward to the awesome results that will come from it!
This home in Beltsville, Maryland had insufficient attic insulation and significant air leaks in the home. The homeowners called Complete Home Solutions to find the source of the home's problems. Our Auditor inspected the home and determined that the problem was caused by air leaks in the attic allowing the flow of inside and outside air through the house. To make the home more energy efficient, our crews removed the existing insulation and used spray foam insulation on the walls to insulate and air seal the attic. They replaced the insulation with Trusoft blown-in cellulose insulation which is a greener and more energy efficient solution.
