Carolina Energy Conservation Before & After Photos

A Summerville family sought to make their attic a more comfortable and conditioned space for storage. They came to Carolina Energy Conservation, and after an energy evaluation, the best solution was to install open-cell spray foam insulation. This type of spray foam is great at temperature regulation, keeping the attic cooler in summer and warmer in winter while also reducing energy costs. Open-cell spray foam works by expanding to fill gaps and create a thermal barrier, which greatly improves comfort by reducing drafts and maintaining a consistent temperature. With the spray foam installed, the attic will now be a stable environment, and their home will be more energy efficient for years to come.

This Summerville homeowner was committed to enhancing her home's energy efficiency and comfort. She decided to search on Thumbtack, an app designed to put you in contact with reputable contractors in your area, and was led to Carolina Energy Conservation as local professionals. After a free and thorough energy evaluation, it was clear that improving insulation, encapsulating ductwork, and adding air-sealing would be necessary steps 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. He also added that encapsulating A/C ducts would improve and balance air conditioning throughout the home. With these three steps, this home's heating and cooling costs will be dramatically reduced while bringing increasing sustainability. This project was completed within one business day, and this homeowner’s investment in energy efficiency transformed their home!

A homeowner in Summerville discovered Carolina Energy Conservation at the Charleston Expo event and wanted to improve their home's comfort and energy efficiency. After performing an energy evaluation on their home, the best solution was to remove the old insulation and replace it with open-cell spray foam. This type of insulation is effective at improving energy efficiency due to its high expansion rate, which allows it to fill and seal small gaps and cracks. It helps prevent air leaks, reduces energy consumption and utility costs, and also acts as a barrier to moisture, enhancing indoor comfort. With the insulation in place, their home will be more comfortable and energy-efficient.

This Summerville homeowner was committed to improving his 47 year old home’s energy efficiency and overall comfort after dealing with rising utility costs during peak months and HVAC units not being able to keep up. He searched on Google for a local specialist, and found that Carolina Energy Conservation was a top rated contractor who offers free home energy evaluations. After he reached out, Carolina Energy Conservation swiftly sent out a specialist who discovered that the old fiberglass insulation had compressed over time, explaining the significant energy loss experienced during peak months. Our expert presented his findings, and it was clear that removing the old fiberglass, blowing in cellulose insulation, and air sealing would be necessary steps in the right direction towards making this home more energy efficient. Our expert recommended cellulose with an R-38 value because it would maximize thermal performance of the attic space as well as being an eco friendly, mold resistant, and fire resistant solution. Air sealing this attic space would also help prevent fresh, air conditioned air from escaping into the attic as well. This project was completed within a few short business days, and this homeowner’s investment in energy efficiency transformed their home!
