Insulation in Burlington

What we find in Burlington attics

The stock south of the QEW around Aldershot and the downtown core is post-war, shallow and often masonry with empty cavities. Wind exposure off the bay makes air sealing matter more here than almost anywhere else we work — a house that measures the same R-value as one in Newmarket will lose noticeably more heat if the top plates and the rim joist are open. Cellulose is the usual choice for that reason: the density slows air movement through the layer itself.

Getting a crew to you

Burlington is at the far edge of our regular run, which means booking a block rather than a single visit. We will tell you honestly when the next one is going that way.

Typical lead time: Book a few days ahead. 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.

Amounts are set by Enbridge Gas and Save on Energy and are quoted from the programme pages — attic stream, assessment stream — checked September 2026.

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.
