Fix Your Cold Basement with Basement Insulation in Haliburton

Without the right help, fighting a cold basement can be a tough battle to win. Floor heaters and fuzzy slippers can only go so far in terms of keeping you at a comfortable temperature. Air leaks and poor insulation are usually the main culprit in terms of causing a cold basement, but with an efficient and accurate application of air sealing, along with insulation upgrades, any basement can have a comfortable and easier-to-control room temperature. 

There are a number of different options for effective basement insulation and air sealing. Spray foam is a fantastic choice, as it provides exceptional R-Value and air sealing all in one. In certain cases, it can also be used in combination with fibreglass batts or blown-in fibre / cellulose to maximize cost-effectiveness. Our insulation consultants are able to determine when this type of approach to basement insulation in Haliburton would be beneficial, allowing you to see the biggest improvements to your home, for the lowest cost. 

Also, for homeowners who live in or near Haliburton County, where winters can be cold and summers can be hot and humid, basement insulation will make a noticeable difference in terms of your home’s total energy performance. This means a lower utility bill, a more comfortable living environment, and better air quality in your living spaces.  

Strong Basement Insulation in Haliburton Makes a Difference on Every Floor

Strong insulation and airtightness not only helps you fight a cold basement, but it also makes a noticeable difference on every floor of a home. Due to the way that air moves within a building (called the stack effect), air leaks and poor insulation in both a warm attic and / or a cold basement can cause unwanted air exchange and energy loss. To prevent and combat this, GNI offers air leakage testing, which can identify the source of every air leak within your home.  

Once the stack effect has been effectively handled through attic and / or basement insulation, you will be able to see an improvement on every other floor of your home. This means fewer drafts, an easily controllable interior temperature, stronger energy performance (leading to lower utility bills and less stress placed on your HVAC systems), and even better air quality. Also, a home that has strong energy performance is often valued quite highly by potential homebuyers - making it a great choice if you are thinking about putting your home up for sale on the Haliburton housing market anytime in the future. 

If you would like more information regarding the whole-home benefits of basement insulation in Haliburton, or about how the stack effect can effectively be mitigated through home upgrades such as air sealing, give us a call at 1-800-265-1914, or chat with us online at www.gni.ca/contact.
