Before & After

Blown-In Insulation in Summerville, SC

This Summerville homeowner was committed to improving his 47 year old home’s energy efficiency and overall comfort after dealing with rising utility costs during peak months and HVAC units not being able to keep up. He searched on Google for a local specialist, and found that Carolina Energy Conservation was a top rated contractor who offers free home energy evaluations. After he reached out, Carolina Energy Conservation swiftly sent out a specialist who discovered that the old fiberglass insulation had compressed over time, explaining the significant energy loss experienced during peak months. Our expert presented his findings, and it was clear that removing the old fiberglass, blowing in cellulose insulation, and air sealing would be necessary steps in the right direction towards making this home more energy efficient. Our expert recommended cellulose with an R-38 value because it would maximize thermal performance of the attic space as well as being an eco friendly, mold resistant, and fire resistant solution. Air sealing this attic space would also help prevent fresh, air conditioned air from escaping into the attic as well. This project was completed within a few short business days, and this homeowner’s investment in energy efficiency transformed their home!
