What Raises Or Lowers Attic Insulation Cost
Easy access, an open attic and a solid old layer keep the price down. Low roofs, a tiny hatch, lots of ceiling openings, wet or dirty insulation, and missing baffles push it up.
Every one of those items appears as its own line on the quote. If you want to start with the coldest part of the house, we can price that area alone.
The Written Quote Holds

Two of these often go together in Orléans, such as sealing the ceiling and then topping it up.
Cellulose Attic Insulation
Cellulose attic insulation is blown in as loose fill and settles into a dense, even layer across the whole attic floor. It reaches the low corners at the eaves where batts often stop short.

Old Attic Insulation Removal
Attic insulation removal pulls out old fill that is flattened, dirty or damaged, so the attic can be sealed and refilled properly. It leaves through a sealed vacuum hose and goes away in bags.

Attic Air Sealing
Attic air sealing plugs the openings between your living space and the attic above. Heated air rises out through pot lights, wire holes, vent stacks and the hatch, carrying moisture along with it.

Ice Dam Prevention
Ice dams start when warmth leaking out of the house softens roof snow from underneath and the water freezes again at the cold overhang. Ice dams then hold back more meltwater, which can creep under the shingles and stain the ceiling.

Wet And Mouldy Insulation
Wet attic insulation holds little heat, and left damp it can feed mould on the roof boards. We find out where the water came from, take out the damaged material, and reinsulate once the wood is dry.

Vermiculite Insulation
Vermiculite insulation is a light, pebbly loose fill in silver-gold to grey-brown. Some vermiculite insulation sold in Canada before 1990, including the Zonolite brand, came from a mine with natural asbestos in it. Not all of it contains asbestos, and nobody can tell by looking.

Attic Insulation Rebate
The Ontario attic insulation rebate comes from the Home Renovation Savings program, run across the province by Save on Energy together with Enbridge Gas. Its attic-only stream pays up to $1,250 once a thin attic is brought to R-50, and it does not ask for a home energy assessment first.
