What are the Benefits of Hiring an Insulation Contractor?

An insulation contractor can provide you an in-depth look at the state of the insulation within your home. This includes finding the areas you could most cost-effectively improve, and the areas that might already be functioning well enough to be left alone for the time being. Both homeowners and cottage owners in Gravenhurst are able to see significant improvements by hiring an insulation contractor to complete their upgrades. 

These benefits include:

• A more affordable utility bill
• Improved resale value (strong energy performance is valued in Gravenhurst)
• More comfortable living spaces
• Fewer drafts
• Better air quality (especially when combined with air sealing upgrades)
• More consistent interior temperature
• Less reliance on HVAC systems or wood stoves

What is the Best Type of Insulation for Gravenhurst Homeowners?

Homeowners and cottage owners in Gravenhurst are not inexperienced in bad weather conditions. The summer can get quite hot and muggy and the winter can get seriously cold. Whether you are looking for four-season insulation, or just enough to keep comfortable outside of the winter, an insulation contractor such as GNI can help you figure out your options. While there are certainly many different ways for a home or cottage to be insulated, GNI can help guide you on your decision to find the best choice to suit your needs.

Should I Use Batt Insulation in Gravenhurst?

Many homes and cottages in Gravenhurst use batt insulation. It is an affordable and effective type of home or cottage insulation and can greatly improve energy performance and comfort when installed by a professional insulation contractor. It is available as both fibreglass batt insulation and mineral wool insulation - each with slightly different characteristics.

Should I Use Blown in Insulation in Gravenhurst?

Blown in insulation should be considered by any Gravenhurst homeowners looking to make strong improvements to energy performance and comfort - all while using a sustainable insulation product that has low-embodied carbon. Blown in insulation is made largely using recycled materials and is blown into wall cavities using air as the propellant. An insulation contractor can ensure that the natural settling of blown in insulation is accounted for, prolonging its lifespan and performance. 

Should I Use Spray Foam Insulation in Gravenhurst?

GNI is a professional insulation contractor that is proud to offer spray foam insulation to Gravenhurst homeowners and cottage owners. It is an extremely effective product that carries a strong R-Value. It is also able to form its own air barrier and vapour barrier all in one, and can be installed in nearly any area of a home - making it a superbly versatile option. It is also currently undergoing changes to make it even more environmentally friendly, by phasing out HFCs (Hydrofluorocarbons) and replacing them with HFOs (Hydrofluoroolefins) as the blowing agent. This greatly helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions without sacrificing any performance. 

Can an Insulation Contractor Combine Different Insulation Types?

Absolutely. In fact, an insulation contractor can create many different combinations of insulation types within the same upgrade - some even within the same wall cavity or space! For example, a homeowner in Gravenhurst may want to use both batt insulation and spray foam insulation to upgrade their home’s wall insulation. This would provide them with an excellent mixture of performance and affordability that would keep them comfortable throughout the harshest of Gravenhurst’s winters.

A cottage owner on the other hand might have different priorities with their home, and opt to use batt insulation in the wall cavities that were left open during renovations and dense-pack insulation for their already finished walls. An upgrade such as this allows the insulation contractor to make upgrades to the entire cottage, without requiring every wall cavity to be fully exposed. Instead, a small hole can be made in the finished walls so that dense-pack insulation can be blown in, all while batt insulation is easily installed into the wall cavities that were left exposed. 

Save Money When You Install New Insulation

One of the best ways to save money when you install new insulation is to have a home energy audit conducted before you begin any upgrades. A home energy audit is an evaluation of the energy performance of your entire home. It will alert you to the areas that need the most attention and provide you with a list of the most cost-effective upgrades you could make. An insulation contractor can further help with your plan for upgrades once you have had an energy audit done on your home or cottage. 

Insulation Rebates in Gravenhurst

Any Gravenhurst homeowners or cottage owners looking to apply for an insulation rebate should consider having an energy audit conducted before they start their upgrades. Some programs in Ontario require a home energy audit to be done both before and after the upgrades are completed. This not only demonstrates how effective the upgrades were, but it also allows homeowners to most-accurately target the best insulation upgrades for their home. An insulation contractor such as GNI can help you figure out your options for insulation rebates, and can advise you on the most optimal pathway to reach their requirements.
