• Using a certified professional for attic insulation installation creates a situation for a couple of added benefits to be available to any homeowner. First off, shingle warranties are very important to the roofing system because they act as an insurance policy for your home. To make the warranty active, a certified professional must install the insulation due to the complex nature that installation is. Also, to protect the shingles from excess heat the insulation must be strategically placed across the attic. The excess heat leaks through the decking to the shingles it will sear the shingles and reduce their life span and their ability to move water. When the installation has been completed by a professional and the warranty is activated – it can be up to 50-years long depending on the product you purchase – and it can be given to a new owner should you sell your home during he warranty period.
• Municipal and provincial governments across Canada have been drafting legislation and regulations to help with combat climate change. In Ontario, the government is using the building code to assist in the fight through amendments that will affect attic retrofits. The government has decreed that a floor for minimum density for attic insulation be set at R-60 for all retrofits performed by professional contractors. While many applaud the initiative, it just a start that comes with some fine print. A home’s size, energy use by the occupants and temperatures where the house is located are all factors that can influence a decision.

• When we install new blown in, loose fill, fibreglass insulation, it is necessary to have a clean area to work in. If there are remnants of previous insulation, we remove it with a vacuum and the process is as quiet as it is clean and when combined with the installation it takes approximately three hours depending the area to be insulated.
