Solatube in Conway, SC

This Conway family was eager to brighten their home, especially their kitchen. They discovered the Carolina Energy Conservation booth featuring Solatubes at the Myrtle Beach Home Show. Intrigued by the promise of natural light, they decided to get an energy evaluation and a quote for installation. They were particularly excited about the kitchen transformation. What caught their interest was the Solatube’s thoughtful design. It’s engineered to deliver abundant natural light without overwhelming the space. The softening lens ensures that light is diffused gently, preventing any bleaching of floors or furniture. They were also impressed by the solar-powered night light feature, which provides a soft glow after sunset, eliminating the need for harsh artificial lighting. The family now has a beautiful, naturally lit kitchen, and their house has become more energy efficient.

Blown-In Insulation in Conway, SC

This local Conway homeowner was interested in enhancing both energy efficiency and comfort. They decided to seek out a local energy conservation company and decided on Carolina Energy Conservation after speaking with a few of our experts at the home show. After a free and thorough energy evaluation, it was clear that improving insulation and adding air-sealing would be a necessary step in the right direction. Our expert recommended upgrading to cellulose insulation with an R-38 value to maximize thermal performance as well as our spray foam air-sealing technique. This new cellulose not only promised to reduce heating and cooling costs exponentially, but also offered an eco-friendly solution by using recycled materials. Installing this insulation throughout the entire attic and air sealing would provide a more comfortable living environment and consistent indoor temperature. The homeowner’s investment in energy efficiency transformed their house, making it more comfortable and cost-effective. 

Solatube in Pawleys Island

This family from Pawleys Island wanted to brighten one of the closets in their home. They approached Carolina Energy Conservation to inquire about installing a Solatube. After assessing their home, a Solatube was installed, significantly improving the natural light in the closet. The design of the Solatube allows for bright, consistent light without damaging or bleaching any clothing, furniture, or floors within the room. It also allows for the most light output year-round by bending low beams in wintertime and bending the overpowering light of midday summer. It also has a solar-powered nightlight for visibility at night without the need to waste any electricity making the home more energy efficient overall. 

Spray Foam in Pawleys Island

A family in Pawleys Island sought to improve their home's energy efficiency and turned to Carolina Energy Conservation for an energy evaluation. After a thorough evaluation, they decided the best option was to install open-cell spray foam insulation. This type of spray foam is perfect due to its excellent ability to provide superior thermal insulation, which will help the home maintain a more consistent temperature. Open-cell spray foam expands upon application, filling gaps and cracks to create a comfortable indoor environment. With the installation of open-cell spray foam, this family will have an easier time maintaining a consistent temperature in their house while reducing heating and cooling costs.

Duct encapsulation in Pawleys Island

A homeowner in Pawleys Island faced the challenge of sweating ducts that were affecting their home's comfort and energy efficiency. They turned to Carolina Energy Conservation for a reliable solution. After a comprehensive energy evaluation, it was determined that encapsulating the ducts with spray foam would be the best option. This method not only sealed the ducts effectively but also provided excellent thermal resistance. With the spray foam now applied, the homeowner can breathe easier, knowing this upgrade will prevent moisture buildup and significantly enhance the overall energy efficiency of their home, creating a more comfortable and sustainable living environment.
