The Benefits of Proper Insulation
Insulation does more than just keep your home comfortable by regulating temperature. When properly applied blow-in cellulose insulation will help maintain the integrity of your home, reduce energy costs and add value to your home.
Get Your Ontario Home Efficiency Rebate
Receive up to 50 per cent in rebates from the cost of purchasing and installing insulation through the Home Efficiency Rebate program in Ontario.
Tight Spaces
Blow-in cellulose insulation can get around many obstructions found in walls and attics and conform to your unique space. When walls are in place this is the best alternative which does not require ripping off drywall.
Save Money on Utilities
Reduce your monthly utility bills with a properly insulated structure that reduces the amount of energy required while maintaining your desired temperature.

Improve Indoor Air Quality
Controlling air infiltration greatly reduces the entry of dust, pollen, carbon monoxide and moisture. With a controlled environment in your home you can live more comfortably.

Stop Air Infiltration
Air infiltration is caused by leaks around windows and door, or voids, joints and cracks hidden inside the building structure. Even the most well-built buildings have seams and gaps that lead to air infiltration. National energy labs estimate that air infiltration wastes nearly half of every heating and cooling dollar. Spray foam insulation completely seals all these hard to reach areas.
Control Pests
Cellulose insulation deters pests that love to burrow and nest in more solid material ensuring that insects and rodents remain where they belong — outside.
Prevent Mold and Moisture
Cellulose fibre can dissipate excess moisture and reduces the risk of condensation. Improving the overall indoor environment. It does not allow the growth of mold while preventing condensation in your home that can lead to mold and mildew.
Get Long-Lasting Results
Traditional insulation will degrade and settle over time lowering its R-value and leaving exposed gaps in your walls and ceilings. Professional installation ensure the best long-term results.
Invest in Efficiency
The right insulation is an investment that pays for itself in significant energy savings. It’s an investment you will rarely see, but you will feel the effects every day. Insulation helps homeowners achieve energy savings up to 50% every month compared to traditional insulation. Your investment in insulation will have a return on investment in three to five years.
