Attic Insulation Before & After Photos

A Summerville homeowner called Carolina Energy Conservation in December asking about making their home more comfortable, year round.

Our installers were there just a few weeks later, and  went to work in the attic. The team removed old insulation and prepared it for fresh and clean new installments.

Then, the CEC team used an expanding polyurethane foam to seal any top plates and openings in the attic. 

We installed soffit venting where needed, air sealed and insulated all attic hatches.

Our team members used cellulose insulation. It can be installed over existing insulation in most applications and reduces air infiltration through wall cavities. And perhaps the best part, it reduces heating and cooling bills by as much as 32 percent!

The homeowner’s chimneys were wrapped with fireproof rockwool insulation. Rockwool is made from actual rock and has a flame spread of zero.

Installing new insulation will give this home a warm interior during the Winter season.

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.

This Summerville homeowner was committed to enhancing her home's energy efficiency and comfort. She decided to search on Thumbtack, an app designed to put you in contact with reputable contractors in your area, and was led to Carolina Energy Conservation as local professionals. After a free and thorough energy evaluation, it was clear that improving insulation, encapsulating ductwork, and adding air-sealing would be necessary steps 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. He also added that encapsulating A/C ducts would improve and balance air conditioning throughout the home. With these three steps, this home's heating and cooling costs will be dramatically reduced while bringing increasing sustainability. This project was completed within one business day, and this homeowner’s investment in energy efficiency transformed their home!

This John's Island homeowner was concerned about rising energy costs over the summer and winter months and suspected their attic was under insulated. She looked for an energy conservation specialist in the area on Angie's Pros and was referred to Carolina Energy Conservation as a reputable and local installer. After reaching out, Carolina Energy Conservation quickly sent out a specialist to investigate, and confirmed the homeowner's suspicion. The specialist gave a quote onsite for removing and replacing the old insulation as well as sealing up the multiple gaps found in the roofline where the rafters meet the house. Carolina Energy Conservation was able to get them on schedule within a few short weeks and finish the project within two business days. This new insulation more than doubled the old, worn out insulation and will provide the homeowner with energy savings and a comfortable living space for years to come!

The Charleston Homeowner noticed their air conditioner could not keep up through the summer months. He searched for a reliable energy conservation specialist and found us through Angi Home Services. The Carolina Energy Conservation Specialist completed a free energy evaluation with pictures in the attic. Finding just two inches of blown in insulation, the Homeowner was not surprised to find they were under insulated.
