Avoid These 6 Problems With High Quality Attic Insulation

The main purpose of any attic insulation in Toronto is to keep your home warm in winter and in the summer. But in addition to maintaining seasonal comfort, there are a host of additional benefits that come with installing high-quality attic insulation. As for the overall attic insulation cost, the energy savings throughout the year will easily offset the initial investment.

Homeowners upgrading their attic insulation in Toronto notice a difference almost immediately in home comfort. And with a high-quality insulation product, the improvement can be dramatic. On the flip side, a poorly insulated attic with a low-quality product will not provide optimum energy efficiency and will therefore result in high energy bills annually.

The Benefits of Installing High-Quality Attic Insulation 

attic insulation TorontoHigh-quality attic insulation can prevent a number of potential problems in the attic, roof, and throughout the home. Overall, it pays to choose a higher quality product and take advantage of the numerous performance benefits even if that means a higher attic insulation cost upfront.

  1. Improving Air Quality: With high-quality attic insulation, various outdoor pollutants are better controlled, thus improving air quality throughout the home. Particularly in the winter, when air ventilation is more internalized, better air quality ensures better health for home occupants.
  2. Increasing Home Value: Quality attic insulation, with high R-Values, is an attractive selling feature in any home. While the installation itself may not be visible to a prospective homebuyer, the quality feature is important when it comes to energy efficiency and related energy costs.
  3. Preventing Ice Dams: Good attic insulation, along with a professional install, can reduce and sometimes eliminate ice dams from forming on the roof. This is important in preventing winter damage throughout the roof cavity and your home’s attic, as well as additional damage right in the home.
  4. Reducing Noise: When installed by experts, (and the right product), attic insulation can help to reduce outside noise from infiltrating into the home. Many insulation products are actually rated with an SPF measurement which indicates the levels of sound transmission.
  5. Controlling Mould: Controlling mould growth is all about controlling air moisture. And in the attic, this is achieved by effectively air-sealing the space while installing quality insulation material. A properly sealed and well-insulated attic controls moisture, humidity and condensation.
  6. Countering Fire: Blown-in cellulose insulation is chemically treated to resist the spread of fire. It has to be correctly installed so that it doesn’t pose a fire hazard. On the other hand, with a shoddy installation and a poor-quality product, there could be a threat of a potential fire.

Very efficient service from quote to the completion of the job 2 days later. Thanks to EcoComfort, we now have baffles in our two attic spaces as well as insulation that went from extremely poor (builder's quality of 4") to R60. We're extremely happy with the work done and would not hesitate to recommend EcoComfort. Thank you very much!!

From inspection, quote, job, clean up and final inspection of the finished work, Eco Comfort Insulation did a fantastic job. They answered all my questions in detail during the initial consult, and did a great job. They cleaned up properly, and left after I was satisfied. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to increase their attic insulation. Thank you.

I'm very pleased with EcoComfort. I called them for an attic insulation top up. After the first phone call, someone came to have a quick look at my attic. A few weeks later, two men and their truck came and increased my attic insulation from R21 to R60 with blown-in cellulose. I appreciate that they use Canadian materials (Climatizer Plus). The work only took a few hours and they left everything just as they found it, nice and clean. My house feels a little cozier now with the added insulation. Thanks a lot!

I had a wonderful experience with the Ecocomfort team. I originally hired them to top up my builder-grade insulation from 8 inches all the way up to 24 inches which is approx R-70 and they did a fantastic job. A huge shout-out to the entire team including Arnold, Patrick, Daniel, Louis, Adam, and Paul. Every one of them was friendly, professional and efficient.

Very unusual these days to find a home contractor who in fact lives up to or exceeds their claims and online revues. Wojtek was prompt, courteous, extremely knowledgeable and very patient.........he answered all my questions. Patrick, his brother and his two colleagues arrived on time, were careful and tidy, did an excellent job and cleaned up beautifully. I was skeptical of the purported benefits of adding attic insulation but during this recent late summer heat wave I have not required air conditioning during the day and only a bit overnight. Aside from potential future energy savings, the benefits were immediately evident. I would highly recommend Ecocomfort to anyone considering anything they do.

For 800 sq ft attics - EcoComfort Insulation price was HALF what 2 other insulation contractors quoted me. Very professional starting from the quote (Wojtek) - who explained the process, to the guys who did installation, very efficient and professional, - vacuumed and cleaned afterwards - can't wait to see how it retains the heat on these colder evenings. Highly recommend them.

Tom and co. were amazing!! They just completed the job within 3hrs and I had zero insulation to begin with so it was a big job. They were truly professional, cleaned up after the job and walked me through the inspection. Ontop of that, they also helped fix a small leak in the roof which they noticed during the job!! That's service beyond and above and truly appreciated!! Looking forward now to having warmth in the bedrooms this coming winter and would definitely recommend EcoComfort to anyone! You guys are awesome...

We had a great experience with EcoComfort. Arnold attended our home to provide us with a quote, and he explained the whole process and answered any questions we had. The insulation itself went well- two workers came to do the job. They cleaned up afterwards. We already notice a difference with our second floor feeling less hot in the summer heat now that we have our attic insulation done!

I hired EcoComfort Insulation after researching the more labour-intensive option to replace the batting by hand. It was like a mountain range of pink batts in the attic which was honestly a bit terrifying. Patrick sent a crew with a truck which sucked the old, dusty, pink stuff out and blew in new R60+ cellulose. I am so happy I went with this installation method and it was well worth spending the extra money.

I had Eco Comfort in recently to blow in new insulation after we had recently taken down and installed a new ceiling. Everything went very well. Everything from getting the quote, scheduling the work, and the team coming out went very smoothly. Everyone was very friendly and the crew did a great job. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

The guys did a spectacular job in removing the old insulation and replacing it with cellulose. They were friendly, efficient and professional. They also installed a bathroom roof vent for better air circulation AND installed weatherstripping for our attic hatch. After work was done, they cleaned up the minimal dust that occurred and left our place as if they were never there. This company provides awesome service. Hire them!
