Poor attic insulation and insulating it in Terrebonne, Qc
Challenge
The insulation in the attic of Mr. Gagnon's house was insufficient. There were only 10 in. and less fiberglass mats which equaled a R-25 value. This made her home uncomfortable, rooms were often too hot in summer and too cold in winter, and her energy costs were very high. He contacted Systèmes Éconergie to re-insulate his attic.
Solution
Our experts sealed all the air leaks on the attic floor, they insulated the duct system as well as the chimney and insulated the vertical wall that separates the two attic levels. Then they installed vents all the way through the soffits to air out the attic and then blew out just over 16” of cellulose fiber.
With this solution, our client's house will be more comfortable and his house’s energy costs will decrease.
