Blown-In Insulation in Conway, SC

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!
