With the sun beating down on your roof, the attic can reach stifling temperatures greater than 82 degrees Celsius a day or hotter! Without proper insulation that heat is getting into your indoor living space, causing your air conditioner to work overtime and spiking your cooling costs. If you don&#8217;t have the luxury of AC, your home will be very hot and uncomfortable. Many of us experienced that during the heatwave in 2021.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ventilation_is_key\"><\/span><strong>Ventilation is key<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Another part of your attic&#8217;s insulation system is its ventilation. Without proper ventilation, that stuffy heat won&#8217;t be properly circulated out of the house. When that heat rises through the roof decking, it can prematurely deteriorate your roof shingles. High-quality wind-driven turbines remove the heat from the attic in the summer and moisture in the winter. Working with your new energy-efficient attic insulation, this improved ventilation system will make your home more efficient. Proper ventilation will help reduce the strain on your heating and cooling system and reduce your monthly energy costs.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19089\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.renovationfind.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Untitled-35.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"943\" height=\"601\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Inspect_your_insulation\"><\/span><strong>Inspect your insulation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Look in your attic before summer hits and inspect your insulation situation. If you find a few inches of wood chips, newspaper-like insulation or batts, you need an upgrade. These older insulators are inefficient and only have an R-value of 4 to 12. The current code recommends that your R-value should be 60 in the attic, so you&#8217;ll have to upgrade your underperforming insulation. An insulation contractor can blow\u00a0new efficient insulation right over your existing insulation. So you don&#8217;t have to worry about removing it first. Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energystar.gov\/index.cfm?c=diy.diy_attic_insulation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">adding attic insulation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you find vermiculite or zonolite insulation in your older home, stop what you are doing and contact an asbestos testing and removal company. These older insulation materials may contain asbestos and can be highly hazardous to your health when disturbed. If you are unsure, contact Expert Insulation Contracting to inspect it for you and make suggestions.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sealing_leaks\"><\/span><strong>Sealing leaks<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Air leaks in various areas of your ceiling and roof can compromise your home&#8217;s thermal performance. Typical leaks can be found around vents, bathroom and kitchen fans, light fixtures, and areas around plumbing, wiring, and ductwork. Air sealing these areas will reduce energy loss in your home. That will improve home comfort, reduce heating and cooling costs, and improve your indoor air quality. Once your insulation and ventilation are upgraded, ensuring no leaks is essential to maintain good efficiency.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Save_with_the_Home_Energy_Retrofit_Accelerator\"><\/span><strong>Save with the Home Energy Retrofit Accelerator<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The City of Edmonton&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/homes.changeforclimate.ca\/hera\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Home Energy Retrofit Accelerator<\/a> (HERA) program provides rebates for upgrades.
