Solatubes are rated up to a Hurricane 3 and have a lifetime leakproof warranty. It is also an energy efficient improvement that qualifies for 30% Federal Tax Credit and 25% SC State Tax Credit. Give us a call today and bring the natural light in!

This family from Hilton Head Island noticed that their living room lacked the natural light they desired, even with the windows. They contacted Carolina Energy Conservation in the hope of increasing natural light. The best solution for them was to install Solatubes in the living room. Solatubes utilize Raybender 3000 technology to maximize natural light while minimizing midday glare. Additionally, it redirects low-angle light in the winter to ensure consistent bright light. The system also incorporates INFERREDuction Technology to block heat from sunlight. It also features a softening effect lens to prevent furniture from fading, making it an ideal choice for brightening a living room.

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.

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.
