Attic Insulation Before & After Photos

This Murrells Inlet homeowner was committed to improving his home’s energy efficiency and overall comfort after noticing rising utility costs during peak months. He searched on Google for a local specialist, and found that Carolina Energy Conservation was a top rated contractor who offers free home energy evaluations. After he reached out, Carolina Energy Conservation promptly sent out a specialist who discovered a lack of attic insulation, explaining the significant energy loss experienced during peak months. 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 as well. This project was completed within a few short business days, and this homeowner’s investment in energy efficiency transformed their home!

This Myrtle Beach Homeowner found Carolina Energy Conservation at the Spring Home Show. They were concerned that part of their attic was not insulated. In the South Carolina summer, if we don't have enough attic insulation in the overheated 125 degree F attic, the heat penetrates your paltry insulation, or lack there of, and heats up the drywall ceiling. Then that heat radiates down into the room and heats all the objects which in turn heat the air in the room. We provide the solution of blow in insulation to an R 30-60 to meet regional standards and provide your home with the tools to keep you cool. They are now ready for the summer heat!

A family in Myrtle Beach contacted Carolina Energy Conservation to enhance their home’s energy efficiency and relieve stress on their HVAC system. They decided to install R-30 cellulose insulation, known for its excellent thermal performance. This is the perfect solution to significantly improve the home's overall energy efficiency by providing effective temperature regulation and reducing heat loss. Additionally, the cellulose insulation helped make the garage more energy-efficient, contributing to a more consistent indoor climate throughout the house. With the installation of insulation, the strain on the HVAC system will be significantly reduced, ensuring long-term savings on energy bills and increased comfort.

A household in North Surfside Beach recently chose Carolina Energy Conservation to improve their home's comfort and energy efficiency. After an energy evaluation, they decided to install Trusoft cellulose insulation for its eco-friendly benefits and superior performance. Made from recycled paper products, Trusoft cellulose provides excellent thermal insulation by filling gaps and crevices, reducing heat loss, and blocking drafts. Its dense, fibrous structure also offers soundproofing benefits and helps control moisture, enhancing overall home comfort. With the cellulose installed, their home will now have a more consistent indoor temperature, lower energy bills, and a more eco-conscious living environment, making it more comfortable year-round.

A Myrtle Beach couple wanted to upgrade their attic insulation, which is a popular energy-saving technique. 

More energy is lost through the attic than any other part of the house.

CEC installers removed old attic insulation and replaced with fresh, clean insulation.

To removed old insulation, we used a blowing machine outside the house to force a blown insulation through a long, flexible hose that extends all the way into the attic, where a team member directs the flow.

Our team sealed any opening and top plates with expanding polyurethane foam.

This closed-cell foam method is often preferred for home insulation projects because it forms a more effective moisture barrier. 

Finally, we wrapped all chimneys with fireproof rockwool.

These methods will increase this couple’s home comfort and reduce their energy bills.
