Carolina Energy Conservation Before & After Photos

After discovering a leaking duct, this home owner contacted Carolina Energy Conservation to look at their attic space. The current blown in insulation was low and not up to code. We suggested the removal and disposal of the existing insulation, followed by air sealing the attic and new blown in cellulose to R38. We encapsulated the ducts throughout the attic and installed a 35 watt Solatube attic fan. The home is now ready for lower electric bills throughout all the season. 

"It has made a world of difference!"

There are many homes in this Murrells Inlet community that have chosen Solatubes for the interior dark rooms. Linda's relatives warned her against roof penetrations, so she waited a year before contacting Carolina Energy Conservation. After researching the 10 year warranty and life time flashing guarantee, she chose Carolina Energy Conservation due to our over 15 years in business in this community. Linda is delighted in the results. "My kitchen has dark cabinets so it seemed dark. Now it's bright all day long." She also installed a Solatube Daylighting System in her bathroom. "I now keep the door closed due to the nightlight, but I love that I don't ever have to turn on the light."

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 Georgetown home had the typical fiberglass bats of insulation. The homeowner called Carolina Energy Conservation for a free home energy evaluation. The attic space had home air conditioned air seeping through into the hot attic. This caused the homeowner's air conditioner to run longer trying to keep the home comfortable. The homeowner chose to have Carolina Energy Conservation remove the leaky rolls of insulation, air seal and spray foam their attic space to keep the leaks from happening. The homeowner can now be confident that the sprayfoam does not settle or shift and they are on their way to saving energy!
