Winter in Canada can be harsh, especially for your home’s roof and attic. As temperatures drop, the last thing you want is to deal with cold drafts, ice dams, or skyrocketing heating bills. That’s why air sealing and weatherizing your attic before winter is essential. At Ainger Insulation, we specialize in blown-in attic insulation that not only improves energy efficiency but also protects your home from winter’s worst effects.
Why Air Sealing and Weatherizing Matter
Air sealing involves identifying and sealing leaks where warm air escapes your home or cold air infiltrates. Common trouble spots include attic hatches, recessed lighting, plumbing vents, and gaps around ducts. Left unchecked, these leaks allow precious heated air to escape, forcing your furnace to work harder and raising your energy bills.
Weatherizing your attic means adding a layer of protection against moisture, drafts, and temperature extremes. Proper weatherizing helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures, reduces strain on your HVAC system, and prevents issues like ice dams and condensation damage.
The Role of Blown-In Attic Insulation
Blown-in attic insulation is one of the most effective ways to weatherize your attic. Unlike traditional batt insulation, blown-in insulation fills even the tiniest cracks and hard-to-reach areas, creating a comprehensive thermal barrier. This material is lightweight, quick to install, and highly efficient at retaining heat in your home.
At Ainger Insulation, we use premium blown-in insulation products that improve your attic’s energy performance and comfort. When combined with expert air sealing, blown-in insulation can reduce heat loss by up to 30%, resulting in significant savings on heating costs.
