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. Encapsulating the A/C ducts would improve thermal performance and ensure balance air conditioning throughout the home. As a result, the air conditioning unit would have to run less saving the homeowner on energy costs and increasing sustainability. This project was completed within one business day, and this homeowner’s investment in energy efficiency transformed their home!
This Charleston homeowner hired an interior designer to transform her home into her dream living space, but noticeable mold around the A/C vents needed to be addressed first. Knowing Carolina Energy Conservation’s expertise in mold remediation, the designer requested a free energy evaluation. The assessment revealed that encapsulating the ductwork and crawlspace would resolve the mold issue while improving energy efficiency. Encapsulating the A/C ducts reduced condensation and ensured balanced airflow throughout the home, while crawlspace encapsulation improved air quality and addressed standing water concerns. The project was completed in just a few business days, helping the homeowner move one step closer to her dream home while saving money along the way.

The Georgetown family wanted to improve the energy efficiency of their home, particularly in their garage. They reached out to Carolina Energy Conservation for an energy evaluation. After assessing their needs, it was determined that the best solution was to install blown-in cellulose insulation in the garage attic. Blown-in cellulose insulation is an excellent way to enhance energy efficiency in a home. It is made from recycled paper products and treated to be fire-retardant. This type of insulation effectively fills gaps and voids, reducing air leakage and heat transfer. As a result, it helps maintain a consistent indoor temperature, reduces the workload on heating and cooling systems, and ultimately lowers energy costs.
This homeowner had Carolina Energy Conservation come inspect their crawlspace in 2021 after noticing the under-house insulation was falling down throughout. We were able to encapsulate the area and add a dehumidifier, so the space is now a controlled environment. The homeowner has us out each year for dehumidifier maintenance, which helps honor the manufacture warranty. The service tech also resecured where a television contractor had moved some encapsulation tape.
We are ready to keep those floors feeling comfortable, no matter the temperature outside and keep the studs under your home healthy and moisture free. Call us today for a free crawlspace insulation inspection.
