Insulation in Richmond Hill

What we find in Richmond Hill attics

The Mill Pond and Yonge corridor houses are older and shallow, frequently in the top tier. The large 1990s and 2000s subdivisions east of Bayview were built with more insulation but with complicated roof geometry — multiple hips, valleys and small attic voids over bonus rooms — where the coverage at the edges is often much thinner than at the hatch. Those attics measure well at the access and badly at the perimeter, which is exactly the case for measuring at the joist rather than at the opening.

Getting a crew to you

Richmond Hill is a straight run down Yonge or the 404 from our yard, so it is a routine destination rather than a special trip.

Typical lead time: Usually within the week. 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.
