Insulation in Cambridge

What we find in Cambridge attics

Galt, Preston and Hespeler each have their own stock. Galt's core is old stone and brick with solid walls and shallow attics. Preston and Hespeler hold more post-war and 1970s housing with cavity walls that can be filled. The 1990s growth on the east side is generally past the point where the attic stream pays. Because the three are so different, we measure before quoting rather than pricing off an address.

Getting a crew to you

Cambridge is scheduled with Kitchener and Waterloo rather than on its own. Ask when the next block heads that way.

Typical lead time: Ask for the next block. 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.
