Attic insulation in Hepworth, go green

• For any retrofit that promise energy savings that sound too good to be true they usually are. A lot of projects have long periods before a return is realized but that isn’t the case with an attic retrofit. The costs can be amortized in a cycle of 24 months and then the savings pile up while reducing consumption.
• Maximum value for anything comes with a maximum investment and spending money to hire a certified, professional contractor for your retrofit is a good investment. A local contractor with certification and a background in attic insulation installation is the first step to a successful install. Checking local references and registration adds to the legitimacy of the contractor you are interviewing and will produce a level of confidence you should have in your contractor before any work commences.
• The insulation installation by a professional will reward a homeowner in two ways that aren’t readily apparent but will have a big impact on the home in general. When a professional provides the work for your installation based on industry practices, a warranty for your shingles comes into force. The warranty is based on the installer’s ability to meet the criteria of the installation and the warranty can be anywhere form 10-50-years long. Shingles were made to withstand many things but not intense heat leakage through the roof. When attic insulation is installed, the intensity of the heat is reduced to a negligible amount and the shingles are protected. Also, the warranty can be passed to a new owner if you sell your home and that is nice add-on for the deal.
• Governments of all political stripes are working overtime trying to defuse the ticking time bomb that is climate change and some ingenious strategies have been developed in Ontario for that purpose. One of the tools the government is using is the building code as it refers to attic retrofits, and what that means is that a floor for insulation density is now the new normal. The building code change amounts to a level of R-20 density for attic retrofits but as always there is a catch or two. House size, temperatures relative to area and lifestyle have an influence on the decision and you can ask our consultants for all help you need. Remember too that adding more insulation density to your retrofit will produce greater savings down the line and reduce energy consumption correspondingly.    
• Before we tackle the installation for the blown in, loose fill, fibreglass insulation, we will need to remove anything that might present in your attic. The work is done with a large vacuum, and it is a quick and easy process to create a clean environment for new insulation.

EcoTouch Pink fibreglass insulation the product that we use for the attic retrofits we provide and it comes from the inventors of fibreglass, Owens Corning.
