"Tom Needham, from Ecotelligent Homes (EH), did an energy assessment on our house and then essentially acted as a contractor, organizing the work (with Cappy, but EH personnel did install some insulation as part of the larger project). We are extremely happy with EH's performance. 1) The completed work has provided us with everything we wanted. 2) In every case, all of the personnel who came into our home--sometimes for several days--were professional, friendly, and competent. 3) At one point our house presented a complexity (how to merge new HVAC equipment with a pre-existing zoning setup) that seemed to threaten the chance of continuing with a zoned house (ie dividing our house into 3 sections, each with independent temperature controls/ducts). We reached out to Tom and he coordinated with colleagues at Cappy, to insure that we got what we wanted."

"I bought a house in Fraser and came to find out I had very high energy bills and 2 inches of insulation. Tom from Dana Insulation came out and guaranteed a minimum of a 20% energy and gas bill reduction. He said realistically it will be 25-35% by getting their attic insulation. The day of the job the crew showed up on time and took a look around. They came unprepared and had to go back to their shop "15min away". A few hours later they came back and got set up. They kept calling their office asking questions unsure what and where they were putting the insulation. Shortly after starting they went and sat in their truck or paced up and down the sidewalk on the phone. I assume it was their lunch but I was unsure since they were constantly on their phones. After their break they got 2-3 hours of work in before deciding to call it for the day. At some point during that time the owner arrived sat in his truck and left. He didn't come into the house or greet me. They vacuumed and left. There was a lot of insulation left in the house and rusty staples throughout the house, porch, and driveway (ballpark of 50+). My 1yr old handed me one so I called the company and complained. At the start of day 2 the contractors were stumped on how to add insulation to the attic above our extra bedroom. So they sat in their truck or on the phone for the first 2 hours trying to figure it out. The owner called me and said they were going to pop a vent off the roof and replace it with a new one and he would stop by when they finished and check everything. So they popped off the vent and just filled in insulation hoping for the best. It was very unprofessional. I found out at the end because I asked that they didn't replace it and were not told to do so. One of the contractors got stuck in the small attic door entrance. They were screaming, swearing and panicking. We rushed over to help them while the other contractor was outside on their phone. Shortly after their blower broke down and they had to wait for repairs. There was only a few hours of work done and they said the job was finished. The owner DID NOT come and inspect their work. The contractors asking for help from the office all day. They also left more insulation and staples all over my driveway. The owner scheduled a time to come take a look but no call no showed. I reached out to Tom multiple times over my rebate but he would brush me off to someone else. I was asked 2 times over email and one time on phone for simple information for it that they somehow kept loosing it? I reached out to Tom months later with my bills showing him nothing has changed like he guaranteed would by spending all of this money on attic insulation. I also mentioned I had not received my rebate which was well past the window. The owner called me and said that he reviewed the bills and checked online where I was last year. He agreed they were way to high and that the insulation didn't do what it should of. He scheduled a time to come out and look at what was going on. Again he was a no call no show. I got a hold of him again and he apologized. He said he was going to bring out a heat gun along with more measurement equipment. He was going to test all of the walls, ceilings, attic, furnace, AC, and vents. I asked why they didn't do this from the start and he said they only do it when there is a problem. This seems backwards to me. We scheduled another time and he no call no showed yet again."

The best type of insulation for your attic depends on your climate, budget, and whether your attic is new construction or an existing space. For example, structural insulated panels are ideal for new builds and offer excellent energy efficiency. In warmer climates, reflective insulation can reduce cooling costs, while blown-in, loose-fill, and spray foam insulation are great options for filling irregular spaces in existing attics. It's important to consult with a local attic insulation prol to determine which insulation type best suits your specific needs.
Absolutely. Insulating your attic reduces heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, leading to lower energy bills and a more comfortable home year-round. It can also increase your home's resale value, as energy efficiency is a desirable feature for buyers. Investing in attic insulation is a smart way to improve your home's efficiency and comfort.
Yes, you can usually add more insulation to your attic over the existing material to improve its effectiveness. If your current insulation is dry and in good condition, adding layers can enhance thermal resistance. However, if the existing insulation is wet, moldy, or damaged, it should be removed and replaced to prevent health issues and ensure proper insulation performance. It's important to have a professional assess your attic insulation to determine the best course of action.
Insulating an attic can take anywhere from five hours to two days. The project length depends on the insulation material you choose, for example, spray foam insulation takes about one to two days to install. Another factor is if you need to remove old insulation before adding in new insulation.
Yes, you can over-insulate an attic, although this isn’t as common as under-insulating your home. Too much insulation can lead to inadequate ventilation, blocked vents, and poor air circulation, resulting in mold or trapping in heat. To avoid these issues, contact your local insulation professional about finding the right R-value for your home.
You typically do not need to hire an electrician for standard attic insulation projects if you're simply adding or replacing insulation. However, if your insulation work involves moving electrical wiring, installing new fixtures, or addressing any electrical issues, you will need to hire a licensed electrician. It's important to ensure that all wiring is properly handled to prevent safety hazards and comply with building codes. If you suspect any problems with your attic's electrical system, consult a local electrician before proceeding with insulation.
