Attic insulation in Annan, clean, green dreams

• The problem has been framed – a lack of attic insulation in Annan, a solution proposed – installing attic insulation in Annan, now for the costs. The experts who talked about the cost of new insulation and the savings when it is installed say that your investment can be recouped in less than two years – depending on house size and energy use. Then the savings pile up year after year, and the energy bills shrink accordingly – much to your self-satisfaction.
• Not everybody can provide a quality insulation installation; you need the services of a professional, certified contractor to take on the work. To verify you have the right person for the job, a couple of details will help make the decision. Registration with the local municipality, certification in attic insulation installation and local references will go a long way to building confidence and you can make a decision secure in the knowledge that you have the person for the job.
• Now that a qualified installer has been hired and the work complete, two little-known benefits come to the forefront. Warranties for any product are a valuable item and for shingles the value is in the time they provide.
• Shingles can’t accept intense heat for prolonged periods, when they do they become brittle and lose their effectiveness. Attic insulation stops the release of intense heat through the roof and causes the warranty for the shingles to become active, and the warranty can be half a century worth of protection. When the shingle warranty is active it stays with the house and can be moved from one owner to another should the house sell during the life of the warranty.
• As we learn more about the effects of climate change, the government of Ontario is taking a stand to prevent climate and is using many different tools available to them. One of the tools they are using is the building code to manage greenhouse gas release from homes and calls for a minimum of R-20 density for any new retrofits for attic insulation.
• While a blanket minimum makes sense, it fails to account for the diversity of the province from a climate standpoint, it doesn’t look at house size or a residents lifestyle so there is much work to do before you start the project. Our team can help with the determinations necessary to obtain a quality installation, and is never wrong to add more insulation to increase your savings.
• An attic retrofit involves installing blown in, loose fill, fibreglass insulation and it requires a clean surface for maximum effectiveness. If you have material in your attic when we arrive, we remove it with a vacuum and then we can start your retrofit.

Our choice for loose fill, fibreglass insulation comes from Owens Corning, one of the largest insulation supply chains in North America. They supply us with their EcoTouch Pink fibreglass insulation and it is very popular with contractors and consumers alike.

It holds its density well, is green – three quarters of the fibres are recycled glass – and Corning invented fibreglass in the 1930’s and after 70 or so years they can say they have it down.

We are fortunate to be aligned with Owens Corning due to their sheer size and influence on our business and they have chosen our company for an outstanding certification.

We are certified as a Platinum Preferred Contractor for Corning products and it is the only Canadian certification that has been awarded.

Since the mid-1950’s we have been demonstrating our trade as a roofing and insulation company and our success and longevity are deeply rooted in two things. We do quality work and treat our customers like family and those simple tenants have been the bedrock of our success.

Annan is a community located stone’s throw away from Georgian Bay, and they play host to cottagers and day-trippers through the summer months.

The hospitable hosts can reach out to us at AM Roofing Solutions for all their roofing and insulation requirements and they can be confident that we have them covered. For a no cost meeting, home service inspection, and free estimate, call us today at 1.877.281.6900.
