A homeowner in Pamplico wanted to insulate their metal shed effectively and sought help from Carolina Energy Conservation. After conducting a thorough energy evaluation, it was recommended to use closed-cell spray foam due to its superior insulating properties and moisture resistance. The homeowner opted for this solution to create an efficient thermal barrier and improve the shed's overall energy efficiency. Following the application of closed-cell spray foam, the shed now benefits from significantly improved temperature control and a reduced risk of condensation issues. The installation of spray foam has made the metal shed more comfortable and energy-efficient while also preventing future problems that could be caused by a lack of insulation.
This homeowner in Mount Pleasant contacted Carolina Energy Conservation because they noticed cold drafts coming through the floors and suspected it was caused by the lack of insulation in the crawlspace. Upon inspection, it was found that the insulation was visibly damaged and had begun to grow mold. To fix this issue, the damaged insulation was removed and replaced with closed-cell spray foam insulation. This type of insulation is very effective in preventing drafts, as it forms a seamless barrier that seals off gaps and voids, while also providing excellent temperature resistance. After the spray foam is installed, the floor will effectively block out air, preventing drafts.
After purchasing this home, new Homeowners found pest feces in the insufficient attic insulation and knew it was time to clean it all out. After meeting with the Carolina Energy Conservation Comfort Specialist, they decided to remove their insulation, air seal fixtures and blow in our recycled cellulose that has pest deterrent. Optimizing their home's new HVAC system, they also decided to spray foam the hard duct lines, known as duct encapsulation. Duct encapsulation decreases the amount of conditioned air that leaks from the hard lines (usually 30%) and helps it reach your rooms. It's a great solution to address room temperature inconsistences.
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!
The Georgetown family wanted to improve the energy efficiency of their home, particularly in their garage. They reached out to Carolina Energy Conservation for an energy evaluation. After assessing their needs, it was determined that the best solution was to install blown-in cellulose insulation in the garage attic. Blown-in cellulose insulation is an excellent way to enhance energy efficiency in a home. It is made from recycled paper products and treated to be fire-retardant. This type of insulation effectively fills gaps and voids, reducing air leakage and heat transfer. As a result, it helps maintain a consistent indoor temperature, reduces the workload on heating and cooling systems, and ultimately lowers energy costs.
