Acton Attic Insulation Contractor

Signs Your Acton Home Requires Insulation Replacement 

When your attic insulation is functioning as it should, it will keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. However, many homes in Acton are not adequately insulated or have had insulation disrupted over the years. The following are some signs that indicate you might need an upgrade:

Higher utility bills: Vnadequate insulation will not control airflow as it should which will force HVAC equipment to work harder and consume more energy.

Fluctuating temperature: Varying temperatures throughout the home can be an indicator that attic insulation has decreased.

Drafty Home: Unusual air movement in the living space of your home can be a sign that air is not sealed within the attic space.

Icicles and Ice Damming: when attic insulation fails to keep the heat contained in the wintertime, it will escape and heat the snow. This snow will turn to water and then refreeze on your gutters forming icicles or, more concerning, ice dams.

Mould Growth/Moisture Issues: Mould in your attic can be a sign that cooler and warmer air is mixing creating moisture. If attic insulation is installed correctly, along with proper ventilation, cold and warm air should not mix and moisture will not build up.

Your Acton home needs attic insulation protection that meets current standards.

Upgrade insulation to the current Ontario Building Code levels of R60 in your home to ensure that you:

• save up to 20% on heating and cooling costs
• prevent mould in your attic and improve the health of your home
• increase the life of the roof deck & shingles
• improve airflow in your home and improve your comfort

If your Acton home was built before the 2017 Ontario Building Code revisions and the insulation has not been upgraded since then, your home does not meet the current R-value standard of R60. Attic insulation is an important part of a safe and healthy roof system for your home.
