Attic insulation in Leith, taking control of your heating bills

• Attic insulation in Leith is a cost-effective way to mitigate staggering heating costs and it is relatively inexpensive when it is measured against other conservation plans. The overall cost for an attic retrofit can be clawed back on heating bill in just under two years time and from there the reduction adds up to a princely sum.
• To make the most of your attic retrofit, you need a proven professional, certified contractor to provide the work. A local registration with the municipal government is a good start, as is local work that can be vetted to determine legitimacy. And that will help determine if the contractor you are reviewing has the skills and abilities to meet the requirements of the work.
• After a professional has been enlisted to perform the retrofit, two distinct benefits come to the fore and they are well worth having. Shingles have sensitivity to excess heat, and when shingles are exposed to the constant glare of heat they become damaged. A professional insulation installation will prevent the heat from leaking to the shingles and that means the warranty for the shingles is can be activated. Shingle warranties can have a lifespan of 10-50-years and they stay with the house if you move and become the property of the new owner for the duration of the warranty period.
• The Ontario government is taking an aggressive stand against the effects of climate change and they are employing many different tools to help fend off the effects. One of the tools they are using is in the building code and they use of mandatory minimums for attic insulation density. The new rating calls for R-20 density to be installed in all new retrofits and while that is welcome news it fails to meet the diversity of Ontario. Temperature, lifestyle, and house size will all have a role to play in the decision when determining your personal level of attic insulation density and our team can help with good counsel. If you feel that your needs mean more attic insulation, ramping up from R-20 to higher rating won’t hurt in any way.
• In order for the blown in, loose fill, fibreglass insulation to be installed a clean surface is required for maximum protection. If your attic has material present, no need to worry because we bring an industrial-sized vacuum with us to remove any materials that are in the attic before we install your retrofit
