Older houses in the GTA were built with an attic insulation rating of R-32 which is about 8″ of insulaton. With the summers reaching an average temperature over 20 °C and winters averaging below -4 °C, low amounts of attic insulation is one of the biggest contributors to heat loss in a home. Listed below are some of the common signs that you have low insulation in the attic.
Attics tend to have the perfect conditions for mold growth (hot, humid, and lots of wood for mold to feast on). In a poorly insulated or ventilated attic, condensation begins to build up and pool. When this moisture begins to heat up, mold can start to grow- reducing the quality of air the you breathe.
Fill out your info and an Energy Saver Team Member will be in touch with you. They will give you a short quote based on the square footage of your house, answer any questions you might have, and work with you to find the best time for the audit and installation to take place. And don’t worry, they’re super friendly!
Once the first audit is complete, our Certified Installers will measure the square footage of your attic so that you know exactly how much you are being charged before the job is started. You are not obligated to go through with any service, and will not be charged until you give the go ahead, and we start the installation.
Only after we measure your attic and you agree, we start the installation. The installation is fairly simple, a hose is brought up through the attic access and the insulation is blown in to an even 17-22 inches. The process takes on average 45-90 minutes and is done at top quality with exeptional care.
Once the installation is complete, the final audit will take place. 4-6 weeks after the audit is done, you will receive your rebate in the mail. Our team takes care of the entire rebate process. You just have to make time for the audits and leave the tedious part to us.
