Before & After Photos

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. 

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. 

A homeowner in Daniel Island aimed to transform their attic into a more comfortable, conditioned space. They turned to Carolina Energy Conservation for a solution to address the moisture issues and improve their insulation. After assessing the situation, the best solution would be to use open-cell spray foam insulation. This type of insulation not only provided excellent thermal resistance but also created an effective air seal, preventing moisture infiltration and improving overall energy efficiency. The open-cell spray foam was applied throughout the attic, helping to regulate temperature more effectively and enhance comfort year-round. This upgrade not only resolved the moisture problem but also optimized the attic’s performance, making it a more usable and energy-efficient part of the home.

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.
