Carolina Energy Conservation Before & After Photos

This local Conway homeowner was interested in enhancing both energy efficiency and comfort. They decided to seek out a local energy conservation company and decided on Carolina Energy Conservation after speaking with a few of our experts at the home show. After a free and thorough energy evaluation, it was clear that improving insulation and adding air-sealing would be a necessary step in the right direction. Our expert recommended upgrading to cellulose insulation with an R-38 value to maximize thermal performance as well as our spray foam air-sealing technique. This new cellulose not only promised to reduce heating and cooling costs exponentially, but also offered an eco-friendly solution by using recycled materials. Installing this insulation throughout the entire attic and air sealing would provide a more comfortable living environment and consistent indoor temperature. The homeowner’s investment in energy efficiency transformed their house, making it more comfortable and cost-effective. 

This Conway homeowner was committed to improving his home’s energy efficiency and overall comfort, especially within his garage space. The large majority of homes built in South Carolina do not include insulation above the garage or exterior walls, causing them to be extremely hot and humid during peak months. This homeowner decided to visit the Myrtle Beach Home Show, spoke with one of our specialists about the issues he was facing, and requested a free energy evaluation. Carolina Energy Conservation swiftly sent out a specialist who discovered a lack of attic insulation, explaining the significant energy loss experienced during peak months as well as the uncomfortable garage space. Our expert presented his findings, and it was clear that 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, fire resistant solution. Air sealing this attic space would also help prevent fresh, air conditioned air from escaping into the attic all while helping manage the temperature in the garage. This project was completed within a few short business days, and this homeowner’s investment in energy efficiency transformed their home!

This family from Pawleys Island wanted to brighten one of the closets in their home. They approached Carolina Energy Conservation to inquire about installing a Solatube. After assessing their home, a Solatube was installed, significantly improving the natural light in the closet. The design of the Solatube allows for bright, consistent light without damaging or bleaching any clothing, furniture, or floors within the room. It also allows for the most light output year-round by bending low beams in wintertime and bending the overpowering light of midday summer. It also has a solar-powered nightlight for visibility at night without the need to waste any electricity making the home more energy efficient overall. 

A family in Pawleys Island sought to improve their home's energy efficiency and turned to Carolina Energy Conservation for an energy evaluation. After a thorough evaluation, they decided the best option was to install open-cell spray foam insulation. This type of spray foam is perfect due to its excellent ability to provide superior thermal insulation, which will help the home maintain a more consistent temperature. Open-cell spray foam expands upon application, filling gaps and cracks to create a comfortable indoor environment. With the installation of open-cell spray foam, this family will have an easier time maintaining a consistent temperature in their house while reducing heating and cooling costs.

A homeowner in Pawleys Island faced the challenge of sweating ducts that were affecting their home's comfort and energy efficiency. They turned to Carolina Energy Conservation for a reliable solution. After a comprehensive energy evaluation, it was determined that encapsulating the ducts with spray foam would be the best option. This method not only sealed the ducts effectively but also provided excellent thermal resistance. With the spray foam now applied, the homeowner can breathe easier, knowing this upgrade will prevent moisture buildup and significantly enhance the overall energy efficiency of their home, creating a more comfortable and sustainable living environment.
