Carolina Energy Conservation Before & After Photos

A quick kitchen transformation! This homeowner wanted to brighten her busy kitchen area without having to choose to switch on and off the light fixture. The kitchen is truly the heart of this home and a major renovation would be inconvenient. The Solatube installation was perfect. 

A Summerville homeowner called Carolina Energy Conservation in December asking about making their home more comfortable, year round.

Our installers were there just a few weeks later, and  went to work in the attic. The team removed old insulation and prepared it for fresh and clean new installments.

Then, the CEC team used an expanding polyurethane foam to seal any top plates and openings in the attic. 

We installed soffit venting where needed, air sealed and insulated all attic hatches.

Our team members used cellulose insulation. It can be installed over existing insulation in most applications and reduces air infiltration through wall cavities. And perhaps the best part, it reduces heating and cooling bills by as much as 32 percent!

The homeowner’s chimneys were wrapped with fireproof rockwool insulation. Rockwool is made from actual rock and has a flame spread of zero.

Installing new insulation will give this home a warm interior during the Winter season.

Living next to the marsh in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, is the sweet coastal life. For coastal home foundations, there are preventative measures needed in order to live in such a humid area. First is ground water management. Our CleanSpace™ System addresses the mitigating groundwater intrusion. We install 4" perforated drainage pipe w/silt sock along the perimeter of crawl space and then install a drainage matting over the floor of the crawl space. The SmartSump and 15 ft. of discharge to prevent mold, rot and odors in the crawl space.

Second step is prevent cupping of wood floors. We suggest installing the Cleanspace encapsulation system that includes a custom-fitted vapor barrier, designed to mitigate airborne moisture and particulates. Cleanspace is not a waterproofing membrane, and does not offer protection from standing water. We install a dehumidifier, clean out/prep the crawl space, wrap piers, install a new access panel with weather stripping and secure it with toggle bolts.  

If you are looking to extend the life of your coastal home that has a crawl space, have us come do a free inspection to make sure you have the preventative measures in place to enjoy your home for years.

This homeowner was concerned that his home in Laurinburg was wasting too much energy. After our comfort specialists visited the home, they noticed that the home's can lights were not sealed properly and were allowing air to flow freely through and around them. So, Carolina Energy Conservation installed can light covers and used air sealant to reduce air leakage. 

Now the homeowners are more comfortable in their home all while saving energy.
