Insulation in Orillia & Muskoka

What we find in Orillia & Muskoka attics

A large share of the housing around Orillia and into Muskoka began as seasonal building and was converted, sometimes in stages, to year-round use. The attics reflect that: mixed materials from several decades in the same space, insulation that stops where an addition started, cathedral sections with no ventilation channel at all, and knee walls behind bedrooms. Snow loads here are heavy and ice damming is routine, which makes the ventilation half of the job at least as important as the depth. The rebate is the same as it is in Toronto; what you save afterwards is considerably more.

Getting a crew to you

Orillia, Gravenhurst and Bracebridge are booked by appointment and grouped, usually with Barrie dates.

Typical lead time: By appointment, usually within two weeks. 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.
