A Myrtle Beach family reached out to Carolina Energy Conservation to address mold, rot, and odors in their crawl space. After an initial energy evaluation, the best choice discovered for this family was to remove moldy and damaged insulation and fully encapsulate the crawlspace. They installed the CleanSpace™ Encapsulation System, a specialized barrier designed to reduce moisture and airborne particles while enhancing overall energy efficiency. This system also helps to prevent future mold growth and lower energy bills by maintaining a stable temperature and reducing humidity. With the encapsulation in place, the crawlspace is a cleaner, healthier, and more energy-efficient space.
A homeowner in Myrtle Beach reached out to Carolina Energy Conservation to brighten their hallway and bring more natural light into their home. They decided to install a solatube to provide a constant stream of natural light. Unlike skylights, solatubes use Raybender 3000 technology, which prevents heat transfer and does not fade furniture or flooring. Its design redirects overpowering summer midday light to maintain a suitable amount of light and captures low-angle sunlight in winter to ensure a comfortable amount of light within the home year-round. It also provides a solar-powered nightlight that turns on automatically once the sun sets, providing visibility without diminishing energy efficiency.
This Myrtle Beach family will also apply for the federal and state tax credit. More information on our website.
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.
This homeowner in Myrtle Beach wished to brighten their kitchen with natural light. They came to Carolina Energy Conservation, and after an evaluation, adding a Solatube was perfect for them. By installing a Solatube above their countertop, their whole kitchen will receive consistent and bright natural light without fading their flooring as a skylight would. This is because the design of the Solatube filters the light through a softening lens, making it less harsh on the flooring and furniture. It also bends and reflects the light, so you have consistent light year-round, making it a perfect choice for this homeowner.
