Carolina Energy Conservation Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Mount Pleasant contacted Carolina Energy Conservation because they noticed cold drafts coming through the floors and suspected it was caused by the lack of insulation in the crawlspace. Upon inspection, it was found that the insulation was visibly damaged and had begun to grow mold. To fix this issue, the damaged insulation was removed and replaced with closed-cell spray foam insulation. This type of insulation is very effective in preventing drafts, as it forms a seamless barrier that seals off gaps and voids, while also providing excellent temperature resistance. After the spray foam is installed, the floor will effectively block out air, preventing drafts.

This Marion homeowner was committed to enhancing her home's energy efficiency and comfort. She decided to search on Google, and was led to Carolina Energy Conservation as local professionals in her area. After a free and thorough energy evaluation, it was clear that removing the old insulation, air-sealing the whole attic, and upgrading to cellulose insulation would be necessary steps in the right direction. Our expert recommended upgrading to 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. Our spray foam air-sealing technique fills small gaps between the interior of the home and the attic, preventing valuable air-conditioned air from escaping into the attic. With these steps, this home's heating and cooling costs will be dramatically reduced while increasing sustainability of the HVAC units. This project was completed within two business days, and this homeowner’s investment in energy efficiency transformed their home!

After purchasing this home, new Homeowners found pest feces in the insufficient attic insulation and knew it was time to clean it all out. After meeting with the Carolina Energy Conservation Comfort Specialist, they decided to remove their insulation, air seal fixtures and blow in our recycled cellulose that has pest deterrent. Optimizing their home's new HVAC system, they also decided to spray foam the hard duct lines, known as duct encapsulation. Duct encapsulation decreases the amount of conditioned air that leaks from the hard lines (usually 30%) and helps it reach your rooms. It's a great solution to address room temperature inconsistences.
