A Comprehensive Attic Inspection

When upgrading your attic insulation in Toronto or in the surrounding areas, EcoComfort always recommends starting things off with an inspection. When we conduct our complimentary attic inspections, our technicians take a thorough look at your attic condition and insulation. This is important because while insulation is incredibly important for your energy efficiency and minimizing heat loss in the attic, there are other factors, such as leaks and ventilation, that can compromise the performance of new insulation. When we conduct an attic inspection, we will identify other vulnerabilities and offer recommendations on how you can address those effectively, whether that’s removing old insulation, conducting attic mold removal, upgrading ventilation, or sealing cracks.
Insulation Removal
If your insulation is compromised or damaged from water, mold, pests, or other contaminants in a way that negatively affects the new insulation or the R-value of your home, our technicians may recommend attic insulation removal. This must be done safely and strategically, as many old types of insulation that were popular could contain asbestos or other harmful materials. If your attic insulation is being topped up, then we will likely not remove all of your existing insulation. This will allow you to make the difference between your existing R-value and the recommended R-value for energy efficiency in your home.
Installing Blown-In Cellulose Insulation
Like any blown-in insulation, loose-fill cellulose insulation is installed into your attic through a hose that blows the cellulose fibres into your attic. Based on the needs of your attic, our skilled installation technicians will strategically distribute the insulation material into cavities, walls, and openings.
How Long Does Attic Insulation Take to Be Installed?
In most cases, upgrading or topping up your attic insulation will take just one day. However, this may vary depending on the condition or size of your attic and any other improvements that need to be made. For a more precise estimate of how long it will take to replace your insulation, talk to our experts at EcoComfort. When you book an attic inspection with us, our team will be able to give you more insight into your insulation installation timeline.
When Does Insulation Start Working?
Your insulation starts working immediately after being installed. After just a few days, you will likely start to feel that you will need to depend less on your furnace to maintain heat in your home or your air conditioning to cool your home down. Signs your insulation is working properly is a more comfortable experience in terms of temperature, fewer fluctuations on your thermostat, and lower utility bills. To start experiencing the benefits of new attic insulation in Toronto, book an inspection with EcoComfort.
