Re-insulate your home from top to bottom;
the benefits are huge.
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 Comfort Fill 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.
Let's take it from the top.
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.
No need to tear them down. Our Comfort Fill process enables us to insulate existing wall
cavities better than ever. Cellulose installed using our Comfort Fill process means we dense pack to provide excellent R-value, use recycled materials,
reduce drafts and add huge comfort. 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
basements are numerous; depend on your basement construction and whether
the area is finished or unfinished. A great option for both finished
and unfinished spaces is using the Comfort Fill 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 great R-value and increasing your comfort and savings.
Small areas can mean substantial losses.
Don't forget about headers, crawl spaces and other areas where you
could be losing energy. 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?
Both the Federal and Provincial Governments understand that insulation
adds huge value in terms of energy efficiency. That's why the grants
for insulation are so good. In some cases, grants can cover the cost
of the installation. Up to $8000 in Tax Rebates and ecoENERGY Grants are available.
