Your Rockwood Home Will Benefit from Attic Insulation Updating

Proper attic insulation is vital to keep your home warm in the winter. But it will also help to keep it cool in the summer. Many older homes are not adequately insulated, the attic insulation has been disrupted or it has settled over the years. The following are some signs that indicate your Rockwood home’s attic insulation might need an upgrade:

High utility bills: Inadequate insulation result in more heat loss in the winter or protection from the heat in summer. That will force your HVAC equipment to work harder and consume more energy, resulting in higher energy bills

Fluctuating temperature: Varying temperatures throughout the home can be an indicator that attic insulation needs to be upgraded or replaced.

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 your home in the wintertime, it will heat the snow on the roof. 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 condensation—moisture builds up, causing mould. If attic insulation is installed correctly, along with proper ventilation, cold and warm air should not mix and moisture will not build up.

We are your Rockwood attic insulation contractor, for protection that meets current standards.

Upgrade insulation to the current Ontario Building Code levels of at least 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 Rockwood 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.

We use only quality brand name attic insulation products on your Rockwood home.
