Attic insulation upgrades are the single highest-impact energy efficiency improvement for most New Brunswick homes, where 25-40% of total heat loss occurs through under-insulated or deteriorated attic insulation during the province's long Maritime heating season.
The current NB Building Code targets R-60 for attic insulation in new construction — yet the majority of existing NB homes, particularly those built before 2000, have attic R-values of R-20 to R-30, leaving enormous room for improvement.
A comprehensive attic insulation project in NB includes assessing and removing damaged or compressed existing insulation, sealing air leakage points around plumbing stacks, electrical penetrations, pot lights, and attic hatches, verifying proper soffit and ridge ventilation to prevent ice dam formation, and installing blown-in cellulose or fibreglass to the target R-value.
What's Included
- Full attic insulation assessment and thermal imaging diagnostics
- Existing insulation removal when contaminated, compressed, or water-damaged
- Air sealing of penetrations, hatches, and top plates before insulation install
- Blown-in cellulose or fibreglass to achieve R-60 NB code target
- Ventilation assessment to prevent ice dams and moisture buildup in NB winters
- Attic hatch insulation and weatherstripping for a complete thermal seal
