This home in Greenbelt, Maryland was suffering from high utility bills and uncomfortable temperatures. Luckily, they had the number for Complete Home Solutions.
We came out and performed a home energy audit to get to the root of the problem. As you can probably tell, the attic was really lacking the right kind of insulation. So, we fixed that. Our team installed SilverGlo foam panels, which creates an extremely effective air barrier for the house. Along with that, we also installed our Tru-Soft cellulose. Together, these products were able to make an amazing difference. Now, the homeowner is comfortable in their own home and no longer suffers from high utility bills!
This home in Greenbelt, Maryland was suffering from cold drafts and high utility bills. The owner wasn’t sure what he could do to fix this problem, so he called Complete Home Solutions to come out and take a look.
After performing a Home Energy Audit, our team found that the house’s attic did not have sufficient insulation. We went ahead and made a few installations to change that. If you look to the right of each picture, you can see how we took out that old, inefficient insulation and replaced it with our Tru-Soft cellulose insulation. Along with this, we installed our Silver Glo foam board insulation (which you can’t see because of the wood panels but is extremely effective). After making these upgrades, we were able to save this homeowner a lot of money in utility bills and keep them nice and toasty for the winter all in one!
Cold and drafty rooms are no fun for anyone. These homeowners decided to be proactive and get their attic weatherized before it started getting really cold. Of course, Complete Home Solutions was more than happy to help them in this effort.
We took a few different measures in order to take care of this attic (air sealing, insulating, etc). Pictured here specifically is how we treated the skylight. The way the skylight was insulated before was not really doing much of anything. When we performed our initial home energy audit, our home comfort specialist found that the skylight did indeed have bad air leakage (making it a source for discomfort in the home). We took care of this by replacing the old insulation with new closed cell spray foam insulation (which air seals at the same time). This skylight won't be leaking any more air!
This homeowner had just had some energy efficiency improvements done - new windows, new door, new HVAC unit etc. She thought that there would be a massive difference in her energy use after getting these things done, but was shocked to find that there really wasn't that big of a difference! Frustrated, she decided to look up a local energy efficiency expert and found Complete Home Solutions.
We sent out one of our Home Comfort Experts to do an analysis of the house and figure out where this homeowner was losing energy. He found that while she was making those other energy efficiency upgrades she had neglected to treat one of the most important areas in her house...the attic! The attic's air sealing and insulation levels (which is now recommended to reach at least R-49) had never been upgraded. After explaining this to the homeowner, she had us go ahead and make those improvements. She was more than pleased at how much energy her home was using by the time we were done!
David had an aging HVAC system that was struggling to keep his Columbia, MD home comfortable, and due to it running constantly, it was causing David's monthly utility bills to skyrocket. David chose Complete Home Solutions after hearing from a family member how reliable and professional they were when replacing their system. On the day of the install, our HVAC Technicians were able to remove the old system and replace it with this brand-new Amana heat pump.
David has all ready noticed his system running less and can't wait to see how it performs in the cold winter months ahead.
