Why Factor Longevity into Your Attic Insulation Costs

Attic insulation in Toronto is not just something you continually upgrade as needed; it is a long-term investment that should be justified by its quality and longevity. Choosing low-quality attic insulation means that it likely won’t last long and is much more susceptible to water and mould damage. Down the line, this will lead to expensive repairs and replacements. This is why you should consider the quality and longevity of your attic insulation when looking at attic insulation costs. Sometimes, the lifespan of the material justifies the higher price. If you are looking to invest in quality attic insulation, reach out to EcoComfort Insulation. We only use blown-in insulation for the best results. Contact us today to get started!

Understanding the Total Cost of Attic Insulation

attic insulation torontoSimply evaluating the upfront attic insulation costs does not provide you with an accurate depiction of your investment. You have to include the longevity of the attic insulation in your calculations. 

For example, if you invest in cheaper, lower quality insulation, such as batt insulation for your attic, it will not last over 15 years. Blown-in cellulose insulation, on the other hand, will last up to 30 years. So unless the price of batt insulation is half of the cost of blown-in cellulose insulation, which it wouldn’t be, it is not worth the investment. 

Hidden Costs to Consider

Even if lower-quality insulation was cheap enough to justify the investment, there may be many hidden costs associated with cheap insulation. 

  • Maintenance Costs: Lower quality insulation such as batt or fibreglass and highly susceptible to physical deterioration and water damage. So, over time, if they are subjected to any kind of physical damage, they will need to be replaced or repaired. The costs associated with this can be rather significant. 
  • Energy Loss: Lower-quality insulation tends to have a lower R-value when compared to quality options like blown-in insulation. This means that as time goes on, your home may suffer from heat loss. This leads to poor energy efficiency and higher energy bills. 

Why Blown-in Insulation is a Cost-Effective Choice

  • Longevity: Blown-in cellulose insulation is long-lasting, meaning it does not need to be replaced for decades, allowing you to save money on frequent maintenance.
  • R-Value: Blown-in insulation has an excellent R-value of 3.5. This means that this material is highly effective at preventing heat loss, keeping your home and HVAC system much more energy efficient, and allowing you to save money on your energy bills. If you want to achieve an even higher R-value, blown-in insulation is actually one of the few varieties that can be layered to increase its R-value.
  • Durability: Blown-in insulation is not prone to compacting or matting, making it a durable choice. It is also fire and mould resistant, contributing to its durability. 

Choose Long-Lasting Attic Insulation at EcoComfort

Overall, you should definitely be considering the longevity of your attic insulation when looking at attic insulation costs. The longer your insulation lasts, the less maintenance and replacement costs you’ll have to pay down the line. Blown-in insulation has the added benefits of a high R-value and enhanced durability, both of which can save you money in the long run. If you want to make a wise attic insulation investment, reach out to EcoComfort Insulation today!

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!
