Insulation Contractor in Charleston Lowers Bills with the Help of SCE&G and CharlestonWISE

Oct. 20, 2011 - PRLog -- Charleston, SC - Energy savings, comfort and rebates—all of these made possible with the help of Dr. Energy Saver Columbia; who recently evaluated and retrofitted a local home. The homeowner now enjoys 19.2% savings on energy, and benefits from the rebate incentives of the SCE&G Home Performance and CharlestonWISE Programs.

Susanne, a Charleston resident, needed help with lowering her energy bills and improving her home’s comfort. Dr. Energy Saver immediately identified the problem and proposed a solution: insulating and air sealing the attic.

First the experts removed all wet and damaged insulation making for a healthier, safer and more efficient space. Upon removal, it was quickly replaced with a radiant barrier otherwise known as reflective insulation – similar to the foil shade in a car windshield.

Next, Dr. Energy Saver air sealed the entire attic space to eliminate conditioned air from escaping and unconditioned air from entering into the home. This is also known as the stack effect, and is a common cause of many homeowners’ discomfort and energy problems.

To complete the repair, the team installed 16” of blown-in fiberglass insulation.

The local home inspector evaluated the work saying, “This is the best installation job I have ever seen.” He followed up with Dr. Energy Saver requesting the experts to come and evaluate his home next!
