Crawlspace Encapsulation, Greenville, SC

Crawlspace encapsulation can make a world of difference to protect your HVAC equipment, reduce energy costs, and enjoy a comfortable home.

As a heating and air conditioning contractor serving the Greenville, South Carolina area, here at Air Kool Heat & Air, our 30+ years in the industry have shown us that many different things can lead up to the premature failure of HVAC equipment. At the top of the list is anything that makes the system work harder than it was designed to. If it has to overcome a cold crawlspace in the winter to heat your home or a damp one in the summer to control humidity, it stands to reason it won’t give you the long life you expect.

That is why we offer crawlspace encapsulation services. If you often have standing water in your crawlspace, experience crawlspace heat loss, or have excessive crawlspace moisture, we recommend resolving that problem with crawlspace encapsulation to save you money in the long run. In addition to needing to replace your HVAC system sooner if you let this situation go unresolved, you’ll also be paying higher heating and cooling costs, as well as perhaps several repair bills you might not have needed.

If you have been experiencing high utility bills, it might not be your HVAC system to blame or even the power company. It could be that you need crawlspace encapsulation. For a comprehensive assessment of your home to determine how you could make your home more energy efficient and comfortable, as well as preserve the life of your HVAC equipment, give us a call today to schedule an appointment.
