This homeowner in Charleston wanted to brighten their kitchen and bring more natural light into the home. After discovering Carolina Energy Conservation, they decided that adding a solatube would be perfect. Solatubes are a great way to bring natural light into a home, as they are designed to allow a consistent and comfortable amount of light to be added without damaging furniture and flooring. They also have a softening lens that redirects overbearing midday summer rays to make them more comfortable within the home. Its design also bends the weaker rays of winter to allow for consistent light year-round. Bringing natural, consistent, and comfortable light into the home.
In Charleston, a homeowner committed to enhancing both comfort and energy efficiency sought the expertise of Carolina Energy Conservation. After a thorough energy evaluation, it was clear that improving insulation would be an essential step. The evaluation recommended upgrading to cellulose insulation with an R-38 value to maximize thermal performance. This choice not only promised to reduce heating and cooling costs significantly but also offered an eco-friendly solution by using recycled materials. The cellulose insulation, known for its superior air sealing and thermal resistance, was installed throughout the home, ensuring a more consistent indoor temperature and a more sustainable living environment. The homeowner’s investment in energy efficiency transformed their house, making it more comfortable and cost-effective.
The POWER of air sealing.
As we all complete home improvements to our home, remember that each new fixture of wire accessing your attic leaves a potential gap big enough for your conditioned air to seep into your attic or for the SC heat to enter into your conditioned space.

This homeowner on Daniel Island wanted to prevent mildew in their attic and sought out Carolina Energy Conservation for a solution to this problem. After inspecting the attic, it was determined that the best solution was to remove the old insulation and replace it with Open-Cell spray foam. Open-cell spray foam is effective at preventing mildew by creating an air barrier and reducing the amount of moisture in the attic. This helps to maintain consistent indoor temperatures and reduce the likelihood of condensation, which can lead to mildew growth. Additionally, open-cell spray foam provides excellent insulation with a high R-value, further reducing the risk of moisture buildup and mold formation. With the insulation in place, this homeowner will no longer have to worry about moisture buildup leading to mildew and mold in their attic.
