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.
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.
A Summerville homeowner called Carolina Energy Conservation in December asking about making their home more comfortable, year round.
Our installers were there just a few weeks later, and went to work in the attic. The team removed old insulation and prepared it for fresh and clean new installments.
Then, the CEC team used an expanding polyurethane foam to seal any top plates and openings in the attic.
We installed soffit venting where needed, air sealed and insulated all attic hatches.
Our team members used cellulose insulation. It can be installed over existing insulation in most applications and reduces air infiltration through wall cavities. And perhaps the best part, it reduces heating and cooling bills by as much as 32 percent!
The homeowner’s chimneys were wrapped with fireproof rockwool insulation. Rockwool is made from actual rock and has a flame spread of zero.
Installing new insulation will give this home a warm interior during the Winter season.
