Calgary winters are a beautiful but brutal test for your home. Here is the truth: if you live in an older Calgary home, you are likely losing a significant amount of heat (and cash!) straight through your attic. Inadequate insulation is a costly, hidden problem that affects your comfort, your energy bills, and even the structural integrity of your roof.
At CracknAttic.ca, we don’t just fix problems; we help you prevent them. Therefore, we offer a Free, No-Obligation Attic Insulation Inspection to all Calgary homeowners. Take advantage of this offer to find out exactly how much your attic is costing you.
Three Signs Your Attic Is Failing the Calgary Winter Test 🌡️
How do you know if your insulation is costing you money? Look for these three critical signs:
1. Sky-High Utility Bills
Your furnace works overtime, but your house still feels cold. Simply put, if your monthly energy bills seem unusually expensive compared to previous years or your neighbours, your heated air is escaping through the attic faster than your furnace can replace it.
2. The Dreaded Ice Dam
Ice dams are thick ridges of ice that form along the eaves of your roof. They develop because warm air from your home leaks into the attic and melts the snow on the roof. This meltwater runs down and refreezes at the cold edge. Consequently, ice dams trap water, forcing it under your shingles, which causes major roof leaks and leads to immediate water damage and mold growth.
3. Room Temperature Swings
Do certain rooms feel freezing in the winter or scorching hot in the summer? If so, you likely have inconsistent or degraded insulation, which means you pay to heat the air, but the heat quickly escapes through poorly protected ceiling sections.
The Free Inspection: What We Check and Why It Matters 🔍
You should not have to pay to discover a problem that is already costing you money. Our free attic insulation inspection is designed to give you a clear, honest assessment of your home’s thermal performance.
| We Inspect… | Why It Matters… |
| Current R-Value | We measure the thickness and type of your existing insulation. This tells us if you meet the recommended R-50 to R-60 standards for Alberta. |
| Air Sealing | We look for drafts and gaps around penetrations (vents, lights, chimneys). In fact, air leakage is often a bigger problem than low insulation depth! |
| Ventilation & Moisture | We check for condensation, water stains, and proper airflow from your soffits to your roof vents. This step prevents mold and “attic rain” issues. |
| Potential Hazards | We look for unsafe materials like Vermiculite or asbestos. |
Why Upgrade Your Calgary Attic Insulation Now? 💰
An insulation upgrade is one of the most effective home improvements you can make. Furthermore, you save money in three key ways:
-
Lower Utility Bills: Properly insulated attics reduce energy demand by 15% to 20%, offering immediate and long-term savings.
-
Healthier Home: Good insulation, coupled with proper ventilation, dramatically reduces the risk of condensation and the subsequent attic mold remediation that comes with it.
-
Government Incentives: Calgary homeowners can access various programs like the Canada Greener Homes Loan or the City of Calgary’s Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP). These programs provide grants or low-interest financing to significantly offset the upfront cost of your insulation upgrade.
Do not delay checking your attic. Stop spending extra money on heating air you are just going to lose.
