Carolina Energy Conservation Before & After Photos

It is wonderful to make a homeowner's day brighter and we did just that in Little River, South Carolina. This new construction home was almost perfect and the homeowner knew exactly what she wanted: A Solatube in both the bathroom and hallway. She had Solatubes in her previous home. "It is wonderful to go throughout the day without turning on lights in every room." We did it again, the natural light is such a beautiful addition to her home. 

Our customer had a very dark kitchen area that they wanted to brighten up all year round. They installed a 14 inch Solatube to bring in natural daylight and brighten up the kitchen and breakfast area. The Solatube installed in less than two hours. Now this customer will have Solatube beautiful daylight in their kitchen area all year round. This makes their home brighter and more cheerful. 

After discovering a leaking duct, this home owner contacted Carolina Energy Conservation to look at their attic space. The current blown in insulation was low and not up to code. We suggested the removal and disposal of the existing insulation, followed by air sealing the attic and new blown in cellulose to R38. We encapsulated the ducts throughout the attic and installed a 35 watt Solatube attic fan. The home is now ready for lower electric bills throughout all the season. 

A Myrtle Beach couple wanted to upgrade their attic insulation, which is a popular energy-saving technique. 

More energy is lost through the attic than any other part of the house.

CEC installers removed old attic insulation and replaced with fresh, clean insulation.

To removed old insulation, we used a blowing machine outside the house to force a blown insulation through a long, flexible hose that extends all the way into the attic, where a team member directs the flow.

Our team sealed any opening and top plates with expanding polyurethane foam.

This closed-cell foam method is often preferred for home insulation projects because it forms a more effective moisture barrier. 

Finally, we wrapped all chimneys with fireproof rockwool.

These methods will increase this couple’s home comfort and reduce their energy bills.
