Closed-Cell Cellulose Insulation in Glen Burnie, MD
You can see from the picture on the left that this home's attic had no air sealing whatsoever and fairly limited insulation. How does this translate to the homeowner's comfort? Very hot rooms in the summer time (especially upstairs) and cold rooms in the winter.
CHS knew that creating a thermal barrier in the attic would correct this problem. Caulking the attic floors and applying blown in cellulose insulation was able to accomplish the job. Now the homeowner is perfectly comfortable in their house!
Attic Air Sealed in Glen Burnie, MD
What do you need to create a thermal barrier in your attic? Generally, air sealing and insulation. What happens if you don't have a thermal barrier in your attic? Ask this customer. Humid, hot summers and freezing, cold winters. Having to constantly adjust the AC/Heat (while throwing money out the window). He was very annoyed with his home's comfort (or lack there of).
He found a company who he knew could fix this problem for him...Complete Home Solutions. We certainly lived up to those expectations. We had to move the old insulation in the attic to see what areas needed to be sealed in the attic and then blew in closed-cell cellulose insulation.
Blown In Cellulose Insulation in Glen Burnie MD
Having enough insulation in your attic is an essential part to maintaining a comfortable home at an affordable cost - this is something that more and more people are realizing today. Air sealing is another essential part to achieving this - something that a lot of people don't realize.
Complete Home Solutions was able to do both of these things (air sealing and insulating) for this customer's attic - using blown in cellulose to insulate. These improvements will keep her home cool in the summer, warm in the winter, and lower her utility bills.

After hearing about the BGE Home Energy Audit program, Rebecca called Complete Home Solutions to give her home a full evaluation. After looking over the whole house including several key systems, our Home Comfort Specialist recommended air sealing the attic and making sure the insulation was up to code. On the day of the job, our Home Comfort Technicians began air sealing the attic with fire block spray foam. The spray foam is applied to our recessed light covers, top plates, and any outlets in the attic to ensure that the air you pay to heat or cool stays in the living space of your home. The next step in this attic was to vent the bath fans out through the roof. If your fans are not vented properly, it can create moisture issues in your attic. The final step of this attic project was to blow in new Cellulose insulation, which creates a 16 inch barrier between the attic condition and the rest of your home. As you can see in this picture, we install rulers throughout the attic to show our customers just how much of a difference our insulation makes. Rebecca noticed an immediate difference, even in mild temperatures, and can't wait to see how her house performs in the future.
