Photo Album: A poorly insulated attic and insulating it in Kirkland, Qc

The attic of Mr. Benchimol's house was very poorly insulated. He contacted Systèmes Éconergie to get a free evaluation of his attic and find out the insulation costs. Our client went ahead with our insulation service. So our team removed the old fiberglass insulation to blow out 16” of cellulose.

Overview of the attic before work

There was only 5 to 10 inches of fiberglass batts for insulation in the attic which is not sufficient for the climate of Quebec.

If you're struggling with high heating and cooling costs or uncomfortable rooms in your home, your attic insulation may be to blame.

We can help prevent mold growth through air sealing and attic insulation.

The right type of attic insulation makes a huge difference for your home's efficiency and comfort, which is why we use blown-in cellulose insulation at Systèmes Éconergie.

Cellulose Blowing in the attic

Cellulose is blown over the top of existing insulation, meaning there's no messy insulation removal and cleanup process.

Cellulose insulation is very safe

It is treated with a non-toxic borate solution that gives the material a Class-1 fire safety rating, which is the highest available. This treatment also makes cellulose insulation mold and pest resistant, further separating it from other insulation materials.
