Attic insulation in Rodney, what to expect

• For new attic insulation in Rodney to be effective it needs to be installed by a certified professional with years of experience. DIY programs tell us how simple this or that may be if had cookie cutter projects. But when it comes to attic insulation in Rodney the project could be somewhat more complicated than what you saw on TV or an Internet video and you won’t get the full value of your attic retrofit should you go in the self help direction.
• Over time, thousands upon thousands of dollars can be saved on a home’s heating bills with new attic insulation in Rodney and it is akin to paying yourself for a reduction in energy use. Best part of that is the government can’t tax the savings you will achieve with new attic insulation.
• Advantages abound when you have your attic retrofit performed by certified professionals in the field of attic insulation. The advantage is a potential 50-year warranty for shingles that activates when you use a professional. When you use a professional to spread you insulation across you attic, the installation in that manner will help reduce the excess heat that is leaking from the home through the attic to the shingles. If shingles are subjected to too much over a long period of time they will ‘wilt,’ and degrade quickly. Once the process starts, the shingles won’t meet the lifespan they made for and that is a problem. The shingle warranty has the ability to change hands when the home is sold provided it is in the warranty period, and that is a unique selling point that drives value in the property.
• The provincial government has a made a commitment to all Ontarians to reduce greenhouse gases in the province and recent amendments to the building code lay out a path to achieve that goal. For any attic retrofits performed by certified contractors, they will be charged with the installation of a minimum of R-60 density for insulation. This is a good first step, but some other factors come into play when contemplating the density for your attic insulation. Let us guide you through the process that has determining facto like lifestyle, regional temperatures and a home’s size that will help make the decision an easy one for you. When you install attic insulation, more is always welcome, as it will increase savings.
• To make a good attic insulation installation a great one, previously installed insulation will need to be removed. This is a necessary first step because insulation settles and the compression of the air pockets that creates insulation causes insulation failure. It is a simple process that involves a large, industrial-sized vacuum to remove it before we install the blown in, loose fill, fibreglass insulation. The whole process can take as little as three hours depending on the size of your attic and it is a very clean process that leaves no fibres or hazardous material behind.
