Before & After Photos

This customer had a number of comfort problems with his house (all of which we were able to address). One specific issue that he faced was cold floors. We see this issue a lot, so it was relatively easy for us to diagnose. When you have a "cantilever" (which is this overhang off the side of the house), and it's not insulated, it will leak air and cause your floors to feel cold. 

CHS knew the perfect solution for this situation. We air sealed the cavities in the cantilever soffit with closed cell spray foam and polysio foam board. We then putt the BATT insulation over top of the spray foam and closed the soffit back up. The homeowner noticed an immediate difference in his floors!

As experts in our field, when a customer calls in about cold rooms and high utility bills, we already have a couple ideas about what could be going wrong (of course we always do our due diligence and thoroughly inspect the house before diagnosing anything). One of the areas that we pay close attention to is the attic. In this case we noticed a few things that were indicators of an ineffective attic. One such thing was dirty insulation, which told us that air was leaking in and out of the attic. 

How did we stop this air leakage? By air sealing the attic and installing blown in cellulose insulation. This creates a thermal barrier, which means that the air that you want to stay in your house actually stays in your house and the air that you don't want in your house stays out. This translates into a more comfortable and affordable house for our client. 

The attic hatch is a huge space that can let a lot of air escape in and out. If you're experiencing uncomfortable rooms and feel like your wasting money on your heating/cooling bills (like this client was), this could reason behind it. It has to be properly treated to stop air leakage!

CHS treated the hatch by installing an attic tent cover (which is the silver zip-up door you see in the picture on the right). We apply this to the opening and then seal along the sides. This is a great step towards achieving energy efficiency and comfort in the home. 

This homeowner living in Harwood, Maryland was dreading the cold winter winter season that is coming up because she knew that her home wasn't going to be able to keep her warm. She remembered hearing about our company, Complete Home Solutions, and was willing to give us a try.

We were able to come out to her home and perform a Home Energy Audit. We discovered that her attic was one of the main reasons that her home couldn't hold heat. The insulation that was already installed was just not cutting it. In order to fix this, we performed a variety of upgrades, but the most important ones involved air sealing and insulation. We had to first construct what we call an "insulation dam" around the attic hatch opening to create a barrier. Afterwards, we were able to insulate exposed knee-wall areas with Polyiso Foam Board and install 8" of TruSoft cellulose insulation. Together, these upgrades were able to make a drastic difference. In the few cold nights that we've already had, the homeowner was able to feel completely comfortable in her own home.  

This homeowner in Harwood, MD called Complete Home Solutions after seeing a promotion for a no cost A/C tune-up that was available from his utility company. Following a visit from one of our HVAC Technicians to conduct the tune-up, it was suggested that this system from 1993 was well past its prime. Our technician's suggestion was to upgrade to a new system that would not only keep his home more comfortable but would also use much less energy, saving him on utilities each month. 

On the day of the installation, our team removed the old system and replaced it with a brand new Ruud system that is better suited to help cool this single family home. He already notices the system running less than before, and cant wait to see how well it performs during the hot summer months.
