Before & After Photos

This Little River homeowner was looking to increase the efficiency of her HVAC unit and receive balanced air conditioning throughout the house. He decided to search on Google for a reputable contractor in his area, and was led to Carolina Energy Conservation as local professionals who specialize in energy efficiency. After a free and thorough energy evaluation, it was clear that encapsulating ductwork would be a necessary step in the right direction towards meeting his goals. Attic spaces in South Carolina are in excess of 130 degrees which makes it hard for the unit within the attic to pull in cold air and distribute it effectively. Encapsulating the A/C ducts would improve thermal performance and ensure balanced air conditioning throughout the home from room to room. As a result, the air conditioning unit would have to run less saving the homeowner on energy costs and increasing sustainability. This project was completed within one business day, and this homeowner’s investment in energy efficiency would help them save on their electric bill and life of their A/C units!

This homeowner in Loris was experiencing uncomfortable rooms in both winter and summer caused by their poorly insulated attic. Poorly insulated attics can have numerous effects on the efficiency of your home, resulting in high energy bills and drafty and hot/cold rooms. They asked neighbors about their insulation and if their attic was insulated. They all had insulated attics and they recommended Carolina Energy Conservation to come to their home for a FREE inspection. 

Carolina Energy Conservation easily solved this problem by first sealing all the air gaps then installing the fiberglass insulation. With these simple fixes the homeowner will see quick results in both their energy bills and the comfort of their home.

Upgrading insulation 

Removal of insulation and blown in cellulose 

This single family home in Market Common was built in 2003. This home had blown insulation that was up to code (code means the minimum). Carolina Energy Conservation took out the old insulation and removed it from the property. We then came in to blow in new cellulose insulation. This insulation is made of recycled newspapers and treated with a special chemical that keeps the bugs and critters away. Before the new insulation was blown in the team sealed all of the can lights and electrical penetrations. After the blown in cellulose the homeowner reported the home was much more comfortable and he wished he had done this sooner.
