Invest in insulation
Did you know that as much as a third of your heating costs could be escaping through your roof? Making sure your home is properly insulated is one of the simplest things you can do to save energy. Proper insulation will result in an even indoor temperature in the cooler months and can help to prevent condensation on the walls and ceilings. Insulation also reduces the amount of heat buildup inside your home during summer hot spells.
 If you have a moisture/condensation problem in your attic, wet attic insulation is not effective in reducing energy costs. Consider insulation solutions from us that can help keep your heating and cooling costs down and help prevent mould and mildew growth.
Where does my home need insulation?
There are many places in your home where
proper insulation can improve its overall energy efficiency -- and your family's comfort. Key spots include:
- Attics and crawl spaces
- Garage ceilings
- Basements
What kind of insulation do I need?
- Removal of existing mouldy, ineffective attic insulation.
- Addition of new insulation into attics or crawl spaces with spray foam or loose fill insulation made of fibreglass or cellulose.
- Spray foam insulation for garage ceilings and basements.
Moisture is not your attic's friend
Proper attic ventilation is important to reduce dampness that can lead to wood rot and the formation of mould and mildew. Through a combination of proper insulation, air sealing and ventilation, you can help prolong the life of your roof.
