A homeowner in Myrtle Beach reached out to Carolina Energy Conservation to brighten their hallway and bring more natural light into their home. They decided to install a solatube to provide a constant stream of natural light. Unlike skylights, solatubes use Raybender 3000 technology, which prevents heat transfer and does not fade furniture or flooring. Its design redirects overpowering summer midday light to maintain a suitable amount of light and captures low-angle sunlight in winter to ensure a comfortable amount of light within the home year-round. It also provides a solar-powered nightlight that turns on automatically once the sun sets, providing visibility without diminishing energy efficiency.
This Myrtle Beach family will also apply for the federal and state tax credit. More information on our website.
This local Myrtle Beach homeowner was looking to make their existing air conditioning unit more effective and efficient in their home. They had a friend who used Carolina Energy Conservation in the past and had a great experience, so they decided to reach out. Carolina Energy Conservation promptly sent out a specialist who inspected the whole attic space free of charge and recommended our duct encapsulation service. This service entails encapsulating every metal duct of your home's air conditioning ensuring balanced air conditioning throughout the whole house. This is especially helpful if you notice one or more of your rooms not getting as cold during the summer or warmer during the winter. We were able to get this issue resolved within a few short weeks of the initial appointment and complete this in one business day!
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.
This homeowner in Myrtle Beach wished to brighten their kitchen with natural light. They came to Carolina Energy Conservation, and after an evaluation, adding a Solatube was perfect for them. By installing a Solatube above their countertop, their whole kitchen will receive consistent and bright natural light without fading their flooring as a skylight would. This is because the design of the Solatube filters the light through a softening lens, making it less harsh on the flooring and furniture. It also bends and reflects the light, so you have consistent light year-round, making it a perfect choice for this homeowner.
