• Installing new attic insulation in Nottawasaga comes with associated costs but those costs are redeemed through conservation in a short period of time – in most cases 24 months or less. And the savings that accrue could amount to tens of thousands dollars in savings over the 20 or so years you own you house.

• To get maximum value from your attic retrofit you need a certified contractor to take on the work. It is important that the contractor has a background in the work and he should be local. It helps to review previous work and vet the contractor with previous customers for a reference to make an informed decision.
• An asset of a contractor installation for your new attic insulation comes in the form of a warranty for your shingles – 50-years in duration, depending on the product and that is a viable marketing tool for any sales agreements you enter into. The shingles are heat-sensitive and when heat radiates through the attic it causes damage. A certified contractor will be able to install the insulation to prevent heat from radiating to the shingles causing the warranty to become valid.
• To improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the province has seen fit to update the building code to help with climate change. They have demanded that any and all retrofits be at least at an R-20 density rating. This is blanket proposition but it doesn’t account for house size, temperatures in specific areas and lifestyle of the occupants. For a painless solution, we can provide guidance and if you think that you need more insulation we can install it to you specifications.
• Installing the blown in, loose fill, fibreglass insulation is simple task, but before we do we must take out anything that might be in the attic first. The technique we use involves a large vacuum to extract the material and works well.
