Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Charleston wanted to brighten their kitchen and bring more natural light into the home. After discovering Carolina Energy Conservation, they decided that adding a solatube would be perfect. Solatubes are a great way to bring natural light into a home, as they are designed to allow a consistent and comfortable amount of light to be added without damaging furniture and flooring. They also have a softening lens that redirects overbearing midday summer rays to make them more comfortable within the home. Its design also bends the weaker rays of winter to allow for consistent light year-round. Bringing natural, consistent, and comfortable light into the home. 

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 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.

In Hollywood, SC, a homeowner sought help from Carolina Energy Conservation to solve the problem of a sweltering attic. After a thorough energy evaluation, it was determined that the best solution was to restore the current insulation and install Thermax insulation on knee walls in the attic. The Thermax insulation was installed in the attic, and the seams were sealed with spray foam to create an effective barrier against the summer heat. Additionally, the existing batt insulation was restored and upgraded for better efficiency. This approach successfully lowered attic temperatures and improved overall home comfort, demonstrating the benefits and effectiveness of insulation.

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!
