I have an older house and it’s hard to maintain consistent temps. Upstairs is always cold. I went in the attic and found about three or four inches of greyish insulation. I have no idea what it is made of. Was thinking of having more blown in. Would this be helpful? Is there anything else that needs...

I have a home that is 21 years old. It came with R40 blown in insulation which has settled quite a bit, and also I have been up there walking on the joists, and may have compressed it a bit too. I think it is too small to rent a machine to blow in more insulation. would like to use a small rake and ...

Hi, when I bought my house in Ottawa in 2005 it came with mostly white Styrofoam packing peanuts as insulation in the attic. I did had a layer of pink fiberglass batts on top and it's never been an issue with heating or cooling since. Now that we are thinking of selling I'm concerned that it may sca...

Apologies if this is a repeat ask, but I am looking for advise for attic insulation. I am hoping that by improving the insulation, I can improve the temperature on the 2nd floor in extreme cold or freeze. To begin with, the attic height is low, and given ...

A couple of years ago I put blown in (atticat) insulation in my attic. However, a couple of things werent done correctly 1) rafter vents were not installed all the way around 2) two exterior corner rooms below the attic are colder than all the others, and a heat camera has spotted some poor insulati...

... looks like baffles should've been installed to allow the soffit intakes to do their job. - Natural Resources Canada doesn't mention this in their attic insulation sections - Enbridge only cares about R-value increase - Appraiser states they're only required to measure R-value before and after ...

Our house is early 70s. We called a home insulation company in Dec to get the insulation checked. He said that in general insulation looks good and in the crazy winter time when there was lots of snow he said he only found some frost on one side but he said everything was normal. This is our home fo...

Our house in GTA is 12 years old, and I just checked the attic insulation done by builder, which was R-40 and currently 12+ inches thick. I understand the current code would be using R50-60, and there are still government rebate for that. I have been ...

Hi mates, I was doing wiring in the attic a week ago and I saw some frost on the roof. Is it normal? The building is a bit over year old. Should I request from builder a fix? There are so many knowledgeable people in this forum. I really appreciate all the constructive comments and help. Thanks Josh

Hi. I'm located in Oakville and wondering if anyone can give a recommendation for someone that can inspect my attic for sealing and ventilation and replace the insulation. A little bit of water leaked down from the potlight in the bedroom a couple of days ago. First time I've noticed this since I mo...

Hi All, Looking to get new insulation for attic and looking for recommendations for East end Toronto. Yes I know this is something that I "could" do myself but rather have someone who knows what they are doing to do it right. I don't think the insulation has ever been done in the last few ...

I recently bought a cottage that was built in 1950-1960. In the attic there is board insulation that is 3/4'' thick, I would say it is kind of rigid and it is like very rough wool pressed. But I have no idea what is this material. I tried to google, but could not find anything similar. Does anyone h...
