Insulation in Guelph

What we find in Guelph attics

The older Guelph core is stone and double-brick, built long before cavity insulation existed. Solid masonry walls cannot be drill-and-filled — there is no cavity to fill — so on those houses the honest answer is that the attic, the rim joist and air sealing are where the money is, and interior or exterior insulation of the walls is a renovation rather than a retrofit. We will tell you that on the phone rather than after a site visit.

Getting a crew to you

Guelph is a scheduled run rather than a same-week booking. Worth asking when the next block is heading west.

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.
