Attic insulation

Heat rises, and in many Canadian homes it leaves through the attic. Topping up attic insulation and sealing air leaks is Phase 1 work, and usually the best value per dollar of any upgrade.

What we offer

Attic insulation, done properly

Blown-in attic insulation

Before-and-after levels

We record insulation depth before and after, which rebate programs require.

Who this is for

Is this right for your home?

  • Homes built before 1990
  • Upstairs rooms that are cold in winter and hot in summer
  • Homes with ice dams along the eaves
  • Anyone planning a heat pump who wants a smaller, cheaper system

Signs it's time

Worth a closer look if…

  • Uneven temperatures between floors
  • Ice dams or icicles along the roof edge
  • You can see the ceiling joists through the insulation
  • High heating bills for the size of the home
  • Draughts around ceiling fixtures
  • Snow melting on your roof faster than your neighbours'

Upgrade or stay put

What changes, and what doesn't

Real costs depend on your home, so we don't publish guesses. Your written package puts actual numbers on both options.

If you stay put

Heat keeps escaping through the ceiling every winter, the furnace or heat pump works harder, and ice dams can damage the roof.

If you upgrade

A warmer, more even home, lower heating costs, and a smaller heating system if you replace it later.

FAQ

Attic insulation questions

More answers on the FAQ page, or ask during your consultation.

How much insulation does my attic need?

Current building guidance for Ontario attics is far higher than many older homes have. We measure what you have and recommend the level that makes sense.

Does air sealing matter if I add insulation?

Yes. Insulation performs poorly if air is moving through it, so sealing comes first.

How long does it take?

Most attic jobs take less than a day.

Is this really Phase 1?

Yes. Reducing heat loss first means any new heating equipment can be sized smaller, which costs less.
