How Encapsulation Cut This West Ashley Home Energy Bill by 38%
After a full crawlspace encapsulation in West Ashley, the homeowner HVAC runtime dropped dramatically. Here is the before-and-after data.
The Numbers Do Not Lie
When a West Ashley homeowner reached out about high energy bills, we suspected the crawlspace immediately. The home had open foundation vents, a deteriorated vapor barrier, and no dehumidification — a perfect storm for energy loss.
After full encapsulation, the homeowner tracked their utility bills for 90 days. The result: a 38% reduction in HVAC energy consumption.
Why Encapsulation Saves Energy
In a vented crawlspace, warm humid air enters through foundation vents. That air cools against the cold subfloor and condenses — adding moisture load to the space and forcing your HVAC to work harder. Sealing the crawlspace and conditioning it eliminates this cycle entirely.
