Attic Insulation Calgary

Improving your home’s energy efficiency in Calgary starts with the attic. Often, attics are under-insulated with outdated or insufficient materials. As insulation products and standards have advanced, more homeowners, contractors, and government policies in Calgary are prioritizing increased R-value in attic spaces.

For new homes in Calgary, consider using a higher R-value to reduce the energy load on your furnace or air conditioning. In existing homes, upgrading attic insulation is a cost-effective alternative to replacing doors, windows, or HVAC systems.

Attic Insulation Inspection Checklist for Calgary Homes:

• Identify any attic insulation issues before our Inspector arrives. This could include water stains on your ceiling or walls, temperature inconsistencies in your home, or notes from previous home inspections.
• Ensure easy access to all attic hatches. If a hatch is in a closet, remove personal items to allow our Inspector access.
• Clear out any belongings stored in your attic. Be prepared for potential removal of any plywood that obstructs insulation access.
• If you’re renovating or conducting electrical work, make sure all pot lights are I-C rated. This ensures insulation can be safely installed over them without the need for covers or barriers.

Attic Insulation Installation Checklist for Calgary Homes:

• • Allocate 1-2 hours for our team to complete a standard attic insulation installation. More complex tasks, like insulation removal or vapour barrier repair, may take longer.
  • No need to worry about cleanup—our crew is experienced in working in lived-in homes and will thoroughly clean up after completing the job.
  • Any roofing work, such as installing roof vents or soffit venting, will be handled by a different team within the IDEAL family. This work is typically done during a separate visit, and you won’t be invoiced until all work is completed to your satisfaction
