Storage? Have a Toronto Insulation Pro Check and Prepare Your Attic


Cleanliness – The attic is one of the most neglected parts of the home in terms of cleanliness, more so if the room only gets frequented by contractors tending to power/HVAC lines. All the dust, dirt, mildew, and mold in a filthy attic is sure to ruin whatever’s going to be stored inside. Insulation – Another important first step is having the attic checked by a local Toronto insulation specialist from firms such as Envirotech Insulation. Ensuring that the attic is well-insulated is one critical asset if it were to be a good storage compartment, as certain temperature extremes can have a big impact on the condition of the items you’re planning to store.

Improve Home Efficiency with Peterborough Insulation and Other Methods


Insulate sidewalls – Homeowners with dwellings that have been built before sidewall insulation has been introduced and perfected should endeavour to get this upgrade, if they’re looking to significantly slash their HVAC bills. This is because such homes are known to lose much heat through the sidewalls, as the latter is directly exposed to the outdoors. It just makes perfect sense to have them upgraded accordingly by local Toronto insulation companies such as Envirotech Insulation. Improved insulation works on a simple premise: the home keeps the heat in when it’s cold outside, and vice versa. For instance, a home that loses a significant amount of heat during the winter could result in sky-high HVAC bills and adverse environmental effects due to wasted energy.

Choosing the Right Type of Attic Insulation for Scarborough Homes


Blown insulation, on the other hand, involves blowing chunks of either fiberglass or cellulose into the attic. Cellulose comes from recycled newspapers while fiberglass comes from sand, both readily accessible sources. Each material has its pros and cons so be sure to consult trusted Toronto insulation companies to help you make a more informed decision.
