Before & After Photos

Crawl space encapsulation adds a thick layer of internal insulation around the crawl space walls. This vapor barrier covering the floor creates a fair amount of insulation between the floor and the ground. This insulation protects the crawl space and the floor above it from external temperature extremes — keeping the area warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Passive insulation makes the house more energy-efficient, meaning the HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard to keep the house cozy. Lower AC usage translates to lower energy consumption and lower electric bills.

Mold and other fungi such as lichen and mildew thrive in dark, moist, humid places. An unsealed crawl space is an ideal habitat for fungi colonies. But eliminating moisture and keeping the air in constant circulation inside the crawl space makes the environment inhospitable to mold.

Mold in any part of the house is not something to take lightly. Mold’s characteristic musty odor is just the start of the problems. As mold grows, it releases dust-like spores and other micro-toxins into the air that can cause allergic reactions and respiratory illnesses. Also, mold feeds on the material it grows on, causing it to rot or wither.

The homeowner wanted a solution to not turning on her 4 kitchen can lights. She loved the bright light, but was bothered by having 4 lights on midday. She new a skylight was not the solution to fit between her can lighting. She opted for a 14 inch Solatube Daylight system and can't wait to share her room's transformation with friends!

This homeowner loves to spend time in her kitchen. The kitchen and dining room are the hub of the home. Now she is excited to know that the natural light is shining throughout the day. She also chose the Solatube Daylighting System that has a Solar Night Light so the kitchen will be dimly lit throughout the night. Even the dog will be able to find it's dog bowl throughout the night!

These homeowners where ready for more light in their hallway. After seeing a Solatube in a friend's home, they called Carolina Energy Conservation. It was an easy morning install and now they will have friends and family over to see their transformed hallway. 

A quick kitchen transformation! This homeowner wanted to brighten her busy kitchen area without having to choose to switch on and off the light fixture. The kitchen is truly the heart of this home and a major renovation would be inconvenient. The Solatube installation was perfect.
