Attic Insulation – Brampton installer

Brampton’s attic insulation professionals

Attic insulation is an important part of a safe and healthy roof system for your home. The Ontario Building Code standard for attic insulation was revised in 2017. If your Brampton home was built before then and you have not upgraded your attic insulation, your home does not meet the current R-value standard of R60.Your Brampton home needs attic insulation that meets the current Building Code standard of R60.

Signs Your Brampton Home Requires Insulation Replacement

When your attic insulation meets the current standard and has been installed correctly, it will keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. However, many homes in Brampton are not adequately insulated or have had insulation disrupted over the years. These are some signs that indicate you might need an insulation upgrade:

• Higher utility bills: Inadequate insulation will not control airflow. This will force your furnace and air conditioning equipment to work harder and consume more energy.
• Varying temperatures: Fluctuating temperatures in your home can be an indicator that attic insulation has decreased.
• Drafty Home: Unusual air movement (drafts) throughout your home can be a sign that air is not sealed within the attic space.
• Icicles and Ice Damming: When attic insulation does not keep the heat from your home contained during the wintertime, it will escape and melt the snow on the roof. This melt water runs down and then refreeze on your gutters forming icicles or, more concerning, ice dams. Those ice dams will then force additional water up under the shingles where it can leak into your home.
• 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.

After you upgrade the insulation in your Brampton attic you will:

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