Carolina Energy Conservation Before & After Photos

A Summerville family sought to make their attic a more comfortable and conditioned space for storage. They came to Carolina Energy Conservation, and after an energy evaluation, the best solution was to install open-cell spray foam insulation. This type of spray foam is great at temperature regulation, keeping the attic cooler in summer and warmer in winter while also reducing energy costs. Open-cell spray foam works by expanding to fill gaps and create a thermal barrier, which greatly improves comfort by reducing drafts and maintaining a consistent temperature. With the spray foam installed, the attic will now be a stable environment, and their home will be more energy efficient for years to come.

A homeowner in Summerville discovered Carolina Energy Conservation at the Charleston Expo event and wanted to improve their home's comfort and energy efficiency. After performing an energy evaluation on their home, the best solution was to remove the old insulation and replace it with open-cell spray foam. This type of insulation is effective at improving energy efficiency due to its high expansion rate, which allows it to fill and seal small gaps and cracks. It helps prevent air leaks, reduces energy consumption and utility costs, and also acts as a barrier to moisture, enhancing indoor comfort. With the insulation in place, their home will be more comfortable and energy-efficient.

In Hollywood, SC, a homeowner sought help from Carolina Energy Conservation to solve the problem of a sweltering attic. After a thorough energy evaluation, it was determined that the best solution was to restore the current insulation and install Thermax insulation on knee walls in the attic. The Thermax insulation was installed in the attic, and the seams were sealed with spray foam to create an effective barrier against the summer heat. Additionally, the existing batt insulation was restored and upgraded for better efficiency. This approach successfully lowered attic temperatures and improved overall home comfort, demonstrating the benefits and effectiveness of insulation.

A homeowner in Pamplico wanted to insulate their metal shed effectively and sought help from Carolina Energy Conservation. After conducting a thorough energy evaluation, it was recommended to use closed-cell spray foam due to its superior insulating properties and moisture resistance. The homeowner opted for this solution to create an efficient thermal barrier and improve the shed's overall energy efficiency. Following the application of closed-cell spray foam, the shed now benefits from significantly improved temperature control and a reduced risk of condensation issues. The installation of spray foam has made the metal shed more comfortable and energy-efficient while also preventing future problems that could be caused by a lack of insulation.

The North Charleston family wanted to enhance their family room by bringing in more natural light. After attending the Charleston Cajun Festival and speaking with Carolina Energy Conservation, they chose to install a Solatube as the perfect addition to their home. The Solatube's design allows for consistent bright natural light to enter the home without causing damage to the furniture and flooring. This also ensures year-round constant light as it redirects strong midday summer rays to soften the light and weak winter light to maximize brightness. As an extra feature, it also has a solar-powered nightlight that turns on automatically after the sunsets to allow extra visibility in the home, both brightening and making the home more energy efficient.
