Attic insulation in Fergus, facts and benefits

• When thousands of dollars are at stake, everyone pays attention, especially when those dollars come from savings through an attic retrofit. Over time the sum represents a significant cash infusion for any homeowner and it is no-brainer when you think in terms of how new insulation will benefit you.
• Installing attic insulation isn’t splitting atoms, but is does come with complications when an inexperienced hand tries to save a buck through a DIY endeavour. Details can missed that will cause the installation to less than perfect and that will impact the savings and the energy use if a certified professional doesn’t install it.
• When heat escapes the home the shingles pay the price – heat searing is a common problem for an under insulated attic and it affects the shingle warranty. When a certified professional spreads attic insualtion thoroughly and evenly it provides a blanket of protection and triggers any warranties that come with any shingle purchase. Warranties can run for up to 50 years, and if you sell your home during the warranty period, the new owner can assume title to it.
• Making a commitment to reversing the effects of climate change has caused governments far and wide to re-think their position when it comes to building codes and how they can be used in the fight. In Ontario, the building coded has been change to reflect a commitment to reduce fossil fuels through the initiation of a new minimum for attic insulation density. The new regulation requires certified contractor to install at least R-60 insulation density in any retrofit they perform. Certainly a move in the right direction but there is more to it than that. Home sizes vary as will the amount of insulation that will be used; energy use is also part of the equation as is the temperatures where you live. When contemplating the right amount of insulation lets us show you the way to the right decision, and after our consultation you want to add more insulation that is always beneficial to your goals for conservation.
• Before we can start installing the new blown in, loose fill, fiberglass insulation we have to see what is there first. Generally, whatever product was installed is obsolete and has lost its R-value due to settling. A quick vacuum job and the attic is ready for the loose fill installation and the process start to finish is three to four hour depending the area to be insulated.

For the insulation we have chosen for all our work, it comes from the industry leader in insulation and roofing products, Owens Corning.

The innovation started them down the road to making the best product available – EcoTouch Pink holds its R-value better than the competition and it also the most environmentally friendly, made up with 73 pre cent recycled materials.
