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.

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.

A family in North Charleston wanted to improve the comfort and energy efficiency of their home, so they approached Carolina Energy Conservation for help. After conducting an energy evaluation, they decided to go with polyurethane foam insulation due to its excellent performance. This type of insulation will make their home more comfortable throughout the year, improve temperature regulation, and reduce energy bills. The superior insulating properties of polyurethane foam create an airtight seal, minimizing drafts and boosting overall energy efficiency. With the insulation in place, their home can now maintain a consistent temperature, leading to improved comfort and energy efficiency.

This homeowner in Charleston wished to boost their home’s energy efficiency by updating their attic insulation. After looking at the great reviews on Google for Carolina Energy Conservation, they opted for an energy evaluation. The evaluation revealed that the ideal solution would be to remove the old insulation and replace it with cellulose insulation to an R-38 value. Cellulose insulation, made from recycled paper products, offers excellent thermal performance and air-sealing properties, helping to maintain consistent indoor temperatures and reduce energy costs. With the insulation properly installed, their home's temperature will be more consistent and it will be much more energy efficient.
