The Benefits of Re-insulating Your Home
The idea of insulating has been around for a while and for good reason.
With all of the improvements you can make to increase the energy efficiency
of your home there are few that match the impact of re-insulation
from both a cost and energy savings perspective.
Because insulation seems like old news, many homeowners aren't
aware of the quality re-insulation options available to them, including Enerliv's Dense Pack Process for walls. Enerliv's insulation processes and products enable homeowners to
get big insulation value with no major renovations. In addition, government
grants of up to $8000 are available for re-insulating every area of your home.
From The Top: Reduce Heat Loss By Up To 80%
By increasing the insulation in your attic from R12 to government
recommended R50 or R60 you can reduce the heat loss through your attic
by 75-80%. Even newer homes can have as little as R32 or less of effective
insulation depending on builder specifications.
The addition of Blown Cellulose is the best attic option. It's a natural choice
that provides superior performance in the coolest temperatures.
What To Do About Walls
Did you know you can re-insulate your home's walls without needing to do a renovation? There's no need to tear down walls or remove drywall in order to add insulation. There are several options for retrofit wall insulation and most can be completed within one day.
Our Dense Pack process enables us to insulate existing wall
cavities to exacting specifications. Cellulose installed using our Dense Pack process means we provide excellent R-value, use recycled materials,
reduce drafts and add significant comfort to your home. Unlike other contractors, we only
install through the smallest holes to minimize
any traces of the work that was done.
Should You Bother With Your Basement?
Basements are quite often a source of heat loss. The options for
basement insulation are numerous, depending on your basement construction and whether
the area is finished or unfinished.
A great option for both finished
and unfinished spaces is the Dense Pack Process. We can install our cellulose insulation
behind netting before you add drywall. We will complete any basement job by insulating leaky header areas with spray
polyurethane, offering excellent R-value and increasing your comfort and energy bill savings.
Small Areas Can Mean Substantial Losses
Don't forget about headers, crawl spaces and other areas where you
could be losing energy and benefit from better insulation. A good insulation contractor will locate these
areas for you. Spray polyurethane can be applied to effectively seal
these areas and goes a long way in reducing energy loss.
Need Another Reason? Government Grants!
Both the federal and provincial governments understand that better insulation means improved energy efficiency, which results in reduced energy consumption
and benefits us all.
In some cases, government energy grants can cover the cost
of the installation. Up to $8000 in Tax Rebates and ecoENERGY Grants are available.
