Insulation in Niagara Falls

Damp, wind off the gorge, and a lot of older housing that has never been touched.

Four inches of attic insulation beside sixteen inches, drawn to the same scale As we usually find it R–12 About 4 inches, settled Ontario code in the 1970s What the rebate pays for R–50 About 16 inches, blown Current Ontario standard 16″ 8″ 4″ 0 Drawn to one scale. Depth is measured at the joist, away from the hatch and the eaves.

The tier is set by the depth we measure, not by the postcode

What we find in Niagara Falls attics

Much of the residential stock is post-war and older, with shallow attics and, in the masonry houses, empty wall cavities. The persistent damp in the Niagara air means attic moisture faults become visible faster here than elsewhere, so the order of work matters: seal the ceiling, restore the airflow, and only then insulate. Insulating a damp attic without correcting the airflow buys you a mould job in three years.

Getting a crew to you

Niagara Falls is at the outer limit of where we send crews and is always part of a scheduled Niagara block. Ask for the next date.

Typical lead time: Scheduled blocks only. Nothing about the rebate changes with distance — the programme is province-wide — but the diary does, and autumn fills before anything else.

What the attic stream pays

No energy assessment, one measure, and the tier set by the depth we measure before we start.

What we will tell you about your house

  • The measured depth, taken at the joist rather than at the hatch.
  • Which tier that puts you in, and the dollar figure with the fifty per cent cap applied.
  • Whether the soffits are blocked, because deep insulation over blocked soffits causes frost.
  • Whether the bath fans vent outside or into the attic.
  • If you are already over R–35, that the attic stream will not pay — and what is still worth doing instead.

You get the depth, the tier, the figure and the photographs whether or not you use us.
