Bolton Insulation Installer

Bolton insulation installer

Your Bolton home needs proper insulation to protect your investment and improve comfort.

If your home in Bolton home has not had its insulation updated recently, then your home is not protected to the current insulation standard of R60, based on the 2017 Ontario Building Code. Attic insulation is an important part of a safe and healthy roof system.

Your home needs insulation that meets current Building Code standards in order to:

  • save on your heating and cooling costs (up to 20%)
  • prevent mould in attic spaces and keep your home healthy
  • increase the life span of your roof, especially the deck & shingles
  • improve air flow, making your home more comfortable for your family

Signs Your 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 Bolton are not adequately insulated or have had insulation disrupted over the years. The following are some signs that indicate you might need an upgrade:

  • Increased utility bills: inadequate 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 throughout the 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.
