Spray Foam Insulation in Summerville, SC
Challenge
A homeowner in Summerville contacted Carolina Energy Conservation to address their high heating and cooling expenses. During the assessment, it was revealed that the insulation in their home did not meet the recommended R-value for South Carolina. Insulation below the recommended level can reduce energy efficiency and make it difficult to control indoor temperatures. This can result in poor thermal performance, increased energy costs, and discomfort within the home.
Solution
The best solution for this customer to save money was to install open-cell spray foam insulation. This type of insulation helps with heating bills by effectively sealing off air leaks and preventing heat from escaping. It creates an airtight barrier, which helps maintain a consistent indoor temperature and reduces the workload on heating systems. As a result, the home requires less energy to maintain a comfortable temperature, leading to savings on heating and cooling bills.
