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. 

This Little River customer had concerns about the temperature within their storage units and wished to regulate the temperature to make them more comfortable while staying energy efficient. To address this issue and prevent heat from seeping into the units, Carolina Energy Conservation installed closed-cell spray foam. This type of insulation is an excellent choice due to its high R-value of about 6.0 per inch. It acts as a great insulator, preventing heat seepage and regulating internal temperature by sealing any gaps and leaks within the walls and ceilings, effectively locking out hot air. With the spray foam in place, the units are now well-insulated and will have better energy efficiency and temperature regulation. 

A homeowner in Little River wanted to bring more light into an extra room in their house. They reached out to Carolina Energy Conservation for a solution and decided that the best option for them was to install a Solatube. Solatubes not only brightened the room but also added natural light to a windowless space. Due to their design, they also prevent sunlight from bleaching floors and furniture. It also reflects light to allow for constant and bright light year-round, making for an effective and efficient light source. With the Solatube installed, this family will have more natural light in their home. 

A family in Little River encountered serious challenges in their crawlspace, including mold, moisture, rot, and unpleasant odors, exacerbated by groundwater seepage. In search of a long-term solution, they reached out to Carolina Energy Conservation for expert assistance. The suggested solution was to treating the existing mold then encapsulate the crawlspace with the CleanSpace Encapsulation System, which effectively seals out moisture and mold. They also installed a high-capacity dehumidifier designed to control humidity levels and prevent future moisture issues, ensuring optimal air quality throughout the home. With these extensive upgrades, the family can now enjoy a healthier, more comfortable living space, free from crawlspace-related concerns.

This Little River homeowner was looking to increase the efficiency of her HVAC unit and receive balanced air conditioning throughout the house. He decided to search on Google for a reputable contractor in his area, and was led to Carolina Energy Conservation as local professionals who specialize in energy efficiency. After a free and thorough energy evaluation, it was clear that encapsulating ductwork would be a necessary step in the right direction towards meeting his goals. Attic spaces in South Carolina are in excess of 130 degrees which makes it hard for the unit within the attic to pull in cold air and distribute it effectively. Encapsulating the A/C ducts would improve thermal performance and ensure balanced air conditioning throughout the home from room to room. As a result, the air conditioning unit would have to run less saving the homeowner on energy costs and increasing sustainability. This project was completed within one business day, and this homeowner’s investment in energy efficiency would help them save on their electric bill and life of their A/C units!
