Terrebonne, QC Trusted Attic Efficiency Services

A homeowner in Terrebonne reached out to us through our website form, reporting a damp attic with an unpleasant odor and inadequate insulation. We promptly scheduled a free inspection, during which our specialist discovered that air leaks around the chimney, recessed lighting fixtures, and wire and pipe passages were causing excess humidity and mold growth. Our specialist explained that a poorly insulated attic forces heating and cooling systems to work harder, leading to high Hydro bills due to uncomfortable drafts in the house.

We suggested the following solutions:

Old Insulation Removal: Removing existing insulation to identify and seal all air leaks and treat mold spots.

Mold Neutralization: Cleaning all contaminated surfaces.

Air Leak Sealing: Ensuring consistent temperatures and preventing moisture ingress.

New Insulation Installation: Installing TruSoft cellulose insulation throughout the attic, achieving an R60 thermal value. This insulation is both fire-resistant and mold-resistant.

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.

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.
