416-333-4554For homeowners throughout the GTA, attic insulation has become more and more of a priority over the years. It makes sense because of the ever-increasing cost of energy during summer and winter. Beyond the cost savings, upgrades to home insulation also contribute to improved indoor comfort for the entire family.
For the most part, homeowners installing attic insulation in Mississauga have been focused on reducing energy consumption and therefore reducing energy costs. The fact is, with high-quality insulation installed, there are a host of other benefits – from improved levels of indoor air quality to balanced temperatures.
In most Ontario homes, the attic has been insulated with one product or another. Whatever that product, the materials tend to deteriorate over time and therefore start to underperform. The result is poor energy efficiency – hot humid air comes into the home in summer, while warm indoor air escapes out in winter. This is a formula for wasting both heating and air conditioning.
When insulation is not performing, the HVAC system (heating and cooling) consumes additional energy trying to provide comfort during winter and summer. As a result, annual energy costs will be high and the HVAC equipment will experience added wear and tear. The remedy is to upgrade the insulation – installing quality material, ensuring proper air sealing, and upgrading ventilation.
In most homes, the attic cavity is out-of-sight. This means that problems are also out-of-sight, and therefore difficult to diagnose. With insulation, performance issues usually emerge with obvious signs and symptoms. When attic insulation is underperforming, the signs and symptoms signal a need for attention. That’s the time to arrange for a professional attic inspection and assessment.
• there may be hot/cold temperature fluctuations in the home
• some rooms in the home may be suffering from drafty areas
• the HVAC system (heating and cooling) may be overworking
• summer/winter bills for heating/cooling may be overly high
• room temperatures (summer and winter) are hard to control
Homeowners installing attic insulation in Mississauga can benefit in several ways with blown in cellulose insulation. To begin with, it’s one of the more cost effective installations. It’s also quite “eco-friendly” because it’s made from plant cellulose and recycled paper. Blown in cellulose is an excellent home improvement upgrade with an equally excellent return-on-investment.
In a space like an attic, blown in cellulose is the ideal for insulating awkward and irregular spots. With a professional installation, the entire attic can be insulated, air sealed, and ventilated all at one time. More than that, blown in cellulose can be effectively used to retrofit the exterior walls of a home with additional insulation (and without damaging the integrity of the walls).
Beyond the performance benefits of blown cellulose, there are additional product attributes. The insulation material resists mold, mildew, insects, and rodents – quite an important feature in a space like an attic. As for energy efficiency, seasonal energy bills (summer cooling and winter heating) will be noticeably reduced. And these savings will sustain for years to come.
When the attic is well insulated, heating and cooling costs are reduced because far less energy is being wasted (and consumed). With a professional install, the benefits are noticeable right away – air leakage is reduced; indoor air quality is improved; and air moisture is better controlled.
With attic insulation, it’s worth doing the job right the first time. Professionals like EcoComfort Insulation & Contracting provide an entire range of services – from removing old insulation to making necessary repairs, to installing ventilation – creating a “system” that delivers results.

In some homes, the energy savings (over the long term) can “pay down” the original investment in insulation and retrofits. This makes for a great return-on-investment and often substantiates additional investments in basement insulation and exterior wall insulation (both worthwhile).
