Insulation in Kingston

A lot of stone, a lot of century housing, and cavity walls that do not behave like a 1970s subdivision.

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 Kingston attics

Kingston has an unusually high proportion of genuinely old housing, including stone and solid masonry construction where there is no cavity to fill at all. That matters because drill and fill is sold into houses it cannot work on. We check the wall build-up before quoting a wall job here, and on a solid wall we will tell you the honest answer, which is that the attic is where your money should go. The attics themselves are frequently excellent candidates: steep roofs, deep truss space and original insulation that has had a century to settle.

Getting a crew to you

Kingston runs with the eastern dates and is booked by appointment.

Typical lead time: By appointment, grouped with eastern dates. 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.
