Home Insulation
Increase your comfort , decrease your energy bills
Reasons why you need good insulation for your home
Professionally applied insulation provides greater comfort, dramatically lowers heating and cooling bills, and add value to your home. Plus, a properly insulated house reduces drafts, and allows the furnace and air conditioning systems to work at peak efficiency, and is usually resistant to fire and vermin.
Also professionally installed insulation will create a home that's evenly heated, free of hot and cold spots, free of drafts and generally more comfortable. Heating and cooling equipment in a well-insulated home will have a lighter workload and may require less maintenance and repair work.
Avoid annoyance and increase your home's enjoyment by sound-controlling it against exterior noises such as traffic, loud music and lawn mowers, as well as interior noises produced from home areas like media rooms, washrooms, laundry and staircases

How Insulation works
Insulation drastically slows the migration of heat with thermal barriers and air seals. A thermal barrier prevents heat from traveling through walls and ceilings, often using materials that trap air to resist heat conduction. This resistance to conduction is known as R or R-Value. A higher number indicates better resistance . A brick wall will have an R-Value of approximately 4, while a 26.6cm (10.5) thick layer of cellulose will achieve an R-Value of 40, the minimum standard set by the Ontario building code. Air sealing prevents the movement of air though gaps and crevices. Air sealing is particularly important around doors and windows where gaps may exist between frames and wall structures. Such gaps allow air to leak in and out of your home, carrying heat along with it. Skipping air seals would be like leaving windows open.
How to have an effective Insulation system- An air barrier, which prevents the movement of interior or exterior air through the system.
- Carefully filled cavities, which leave no gaps in or around the insulation and which do not compress the insulation.
- A minimum of thermal bridges. These are parts of the wall that, with a lower R value, extend from the warm side to the cold side of the insulation, giving heat an easy escape. The structural members in the wall will often be thermal bridges.
- A vapour retarder, such as polyethylene sheeting, which prevents moisture from moving from warm interior spaces into a colder building envelope where it could condense.
- Drying potential, which is the ability of the insulated assembly to release any moisture that gets into the system.
- walls cold to touch
- cold floors
- high heating costs
- uneven heating levels within building
- mold growing on walls
- uncomfortably hot inside air
- high cooling costs
- ineffectiveness of air conditioning system
- mold growing in basement
