           In Edmonton, insulation is not a cosmetic upgrade — it is one of the most important systems in your home. Long winters, extreme cold, and frequent freeze–thaw cycles put constant pressure on a home’s thermal envelope. When insulation underperforms, the symptoms are immediate and costly: cold rooms, uneven temperatures, high heating bills, moisture problems, and even winter roof damage.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

            ﻿
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Many homeowners assume these issues are caused by old furnaces or aging windows. In reality, the most common cause is hidden out of sight — insulation that has settled, degraded, or was never installed correctly for Edmonton’s climate.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           This guide explains how professional home insulation upgrades work, why Edmonton homes are especially vulnerable to insulation failure, and how the right materials and installation methods can permanently improve comfort and efficiency.

      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

           What Is a Home Insulation Upgrade?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           A home insulation upgrade involves correcting weaknesses in the building envelope — the barrier that separates your heated living space from the cold outdoors. This process is far more than simply “adding insulation.”
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           A proper insulation upgrade includes:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Identifying where heat is escaping
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Sealing air leakage paths
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Installing insulation at the correct depth and density
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Protecting attic ventilation to manage moisture
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           When done correctly, insulation upgrades control conductive heat loss, convective air movement, and radiant heat transfer, creating a stable and energy-efficient indoor environment.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
             
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Why Edmonton Homes Are Especially Vulnerable
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Edmonton’s climate magnifies insulation problems faster than most regions. During winter, the large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor air intensifies the stack effect — warm air rises and escapes through the upper levels of the home, pulling cold air in from below.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           At the same time, heavy snow accumulation and prolonged cold temperatures increase the risk of attic condensation and ice dam formation. Homes that may appear adequately insulated in milder climates often struggle severely in Edmonton without professional-grade insulation systems.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Older homes are particularly vulnerable, as insulation standards from previous decades are no longer sufficient for modern energy demands.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
             
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Building Science Behind Heat Loss
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Heat naturally moves from warm areas to cold areas. In a home, this happens in three main ways:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Conduction: Heat traveling through solid materials like drywall, framing, and concrete
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Convection: Heat carried by moving air through gaps and cavities
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Radiation: Heat radiating from warm surfaces to cooler ones
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           When insulation is missing, compressed, or poorly installed, all three processes occur at once. Warm air escapes into the attic, cold air infiltrates through walls and foundations, and surfaces become cold enough to cause condensation.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Effective insulation upgrades interrupt these pathways and stabilize indoor temperatures.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
             
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;strong&gt;&#xD;
      
           Attic Insulation: The Highest-Impact Upgrade
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Because warm air rises, the attic is the single largest source of heat loss in most Edmonton homes. Even small deficiencies in attic insulation can result in major energy loss over the course of a winter.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           A properly insulated attic:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;ul&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Keeps the roof deck cold in winter
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Prevents attic rain and frost buildup
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Reduces ice dam formation
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Stabilizes second-floor temperatures
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Lowers furnace runtime
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/ul&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Professional attic upgrades involve sealing air leaks first, installing ventilation baffles to protect soffit airflow, and then applying insulation evenly at the correct depth to achieve long-term performance.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

           Exterior Wall Insulation and Thermal Bridging
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Exterior walls represent the largest exposed surface area of the home. In many houses, wall insulation has settled over time, leaving gaps around wiring, plumbing, and framing.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           These gaps create thermal bridges — direct pathways for heat to escape outdoors. Even small voids can significantly reduce overall wall performance and create cold, drafty rooms.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           High-density insulation systems fill wall cavities completely, eliminating voids, reducing air infiltration, and improving acoustic comfort.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

           Basement Insulation and Conductive Heat Loss
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Basements are often overlooked, yet they are a major source of heat loss. Concrete foundation walls conduct cold directly from frozen soil into living spaces, making basements uncomfortable and expensive to heat.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

           Why Installation Method and Materials Matter
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Insulation performance depends heavily on how it is installed. Loose-fill insulation must be applied at the correct density to prevent settling and maintain R-value over time.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Professional systems such as the Blow-In Blanket System (BIBS) allow insulation to be installed behind secured mesh at calibrated density, eliminating voids and ensuring permanent performance.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

           Why Professional Installation Matters
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Improper insulation installation can create more problems than it solves. Blocked ventilation, uneven coverage, or compressed material can lead to moisture buildup, ongoing heat loss, and premature failure.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Professional installers understand how insulation interacts with airflow, ventilation, and building assemblies — ensuring the system performs as designed for decades.

    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;li&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Reduced moisture and condensation issues
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/li&gt;&#xD;

           Introduction
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           : Why you should invest in insulation for your home
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           It is important to invest in insulation for your home because it can help you save money on energy bills. In the long run, it can also help you to save money on the cost of heating and cooling your home.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Insulation is a type of material that helps to reduce the amount of heat that passes through walls, floors, and ceilings. It prevents cold air from leaking into a house in winter and hot air from escaping in summer.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Importance Of R-Value? &amp;amp; Why Does It Matter?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           It is the measure of how well insulation in a building or home prevents heat from escaping. The higher the R-value, the better the insulation.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The R-value is a measure of thermal resistance to heat flow through walls, floors, and ceilings. It is typically expressed as the number of hours it would take for one degree Fahrenheit of temperature difference to be produced by one BTU (British Thermal Unit) being dissipated through an area of one square foot at a differential pressure across that area of 1-inch water column.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           1) U-Value: This measures energy loss due to conduction and convection.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           2) R-Value: Measures energy loss due to thermal radiation.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

            Buying the wrong type of insulation for your needs: There are many different types of insulation available on the market and it is important that you purchase the right one for your needs.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Not getting enough coverage: Insulation can be expensive but it is worth investing in as it will save you a lot of money in the long run by keeping your home warmer and reducing energy bills.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Buying an inferior quality product: If you are looking to reduce energy bills and improve comfort levels, then make sure that you only buy a high-quality product which will serve its purpose well over time.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

           Failing to install insulation properly: If you want to get the maximum benefits from your insulation, you need a reliable &amp;amp; knowledgeable insulation contractor to do the job.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            The amount of insulation you need depends on the type of house you have, the size of your house and the climate.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The best way to find out is to get a professional assessment.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Insulation is an important part of any home. It protects it from outside elements such as heat, cold and noise. Insulation also means that your heating and cooling systems will work more efficiently, which will save you money in the long term.

            With summer just around the corner, and warm weather on the way, it is time to start thinking about your home’s cooling needs. This is why Energy Savers Insulation believes that Spring is the perfect time for your home’s attic insulation upgrade. You may be unaware of the benefits of an attic insulation upgrade, but there are many. We believe that it is an investment that pays off in the long-run and will keep your home comfortable all year round. If you found that your home was not staying warm this past winter, then it might be time for an attic insulation upgrade.

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Insulation is one of the most important upgrades you can do for your home. It will help your home stay cooler in the summer as well as warmer in the winter. An attic insulation upgrade is a great way to make your home more efficient during the summer months by reducing the amount of heat that is getting into your home. Installing more insulation in your attic means that the transfer of heat into your home will be stopped, helping you to save on your home cooling costs. The installation process is simple and straightforward and can be done in one visit. Our experts will let you know if you already have the right amount of insulation or what needs to be added in order to keep your home more temperature controlled.

           Insulation is important for every home. It helps to keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter, and it can also save you money on energy bills. When buying a new home, there are regulations that require builders to use insulation materials that meet certain standards. However, when you live in an older home, you may not be sure whether it has adequate attic insulation or if it even needs more. If you’re thinking about adding attic insulation to your older home, here are a few things to consider.
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

           What to Consider

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           If you’re considering adding more attic insulation to your older home, there are a few things you should consider: 
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           •	The depth of the insulation: To get the best energy efficiency benefits from adding attic insulation, you want to make sure that it covers the whole depth of your attic. If you don’t have enough room for the desired depth, you may want to install a whole new roof with insulation or add an additional layer of insulation on top of what you already have.
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           •	Cost: The cost of insulating your attic depends on many factors including how much insulation is needed and what materials will be used during installation. While some people may choose to do this job themselves, most find it easier to hire our professionals who specializes in installing attic insulation.

           Energy rebates are a great way to save money on your energy bills. However, there are still a lot of people that do not know about the Edmonton energy rebates. There are federal and provincial energy rebates that will provide you with cashback for the energy you use, and the best part is that it does not cost you anything to apply for them. So, what are the federal and Edmonton energy rebates that you should be taking advantage of this year? 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The federal and Edmonton energy rebates program offers incentives to help people save money and protect the environment. The program offers rebates for a variety of products and recommends a few easy energy-saving solutions. A few incentives are:

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           •	Windows

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           •	HVAC systems
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           •	Appliances
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           •	Lighting fixtures and bulbs
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           •	Solar panels 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Some of these solutions are far easier to implement than others. It is far quicker and simpler to upgrade your attic insulation, than it is to start adding solar panels to your home. There are quite a few easy tasks that you can check off your list. For example, walking through your home and feeling for drafts and areas that need to be simply sealed up, or replacing older, drafty doors. Getting rid of outdated, energy sucking appliances is a great step for anyone looking to upgrade or renovate their space. There are a lot of simple tasks that you can start doing around your home, not only to take advantage of the energy rebates but to save money on your utility bills.

            If you are tired of cranking up your thermostat, or putting on layer after layer in the winter, it might be time to consider adding or updating the insulation in your attic. A properly insulated attic can drastically save you money on your heating bill, as well as help to maintain a comfortable temperature in your home all year round. This means that upgrading your attic insulation will not only help in the winter, but it will reduce your home’s heat gain in the summer.

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           What do you need to know before you have someone climb up into your attic to upgrade your attic insulation? Energy Savers Insulation has you covered!

           Evaluating Your Attic Insulation

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           The first thing our team of experts will do is come out to valuate your existing attic insulation. Our team will look at the existing insulation to determine the type, the age, as well as the depth. This will help us determine the r-value of the current attic insulation. Our team will also ensure that we insulate your attic hatch, as well as inspect your attic ventilation. If our team spots any issues, we will be sure to provide you with recommendations to complete your insulation upgrade.

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           After our team has inspected your existing insulation and your attic vents, we will then begin the process of blowing in your new attic insulation. Before this is done, our team ensures that your home is protected and kept clean by laying tarps down from your front door’s entrance, all the way to your attic’s entrance. Then we blow in the formaldehyde-free fiber glass insulation. This type of insulation works best, as it fills in those hard-to-reach gaps and will not settle over time. After we have filled the space, our tarps are removed and we vacuum up any excess insulation, leaving your home the way we found it.

      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
                        
            Once your attic has been upgraded with new insulation, you will start to enjoy the benefits of the upgrade. Your overall home heating costs will reduce, and you will notice that your home will not get as hot in the summer. If you are ready to enjoy the perks of attic insulation,

           Many of you have turned on our furnaces for the foreseeable future and which means you have likely already seen an increase in your utility bills. With our gas companies increasing the fees associated with our gas bills, it does not look like there will be much wiggle room to keep your heating costs down this winter. So, what can you do in order to keep your gas bill lower and your home a nice warm temperature? Our team recommends upgrading your insulation with blow-in insulation. 
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           We know if can feel like a major renovation to upgrade to blow-in insulation, it is actually a lot easier than you might think. Blow-in insulation can be done on existing homes attics. The way blow-in insulation works is by using long, flexible hosing to blow in the material into your attic. It is really that simple. Our professional insulation installers feed the insulation into the commercial grade machine, it is then agitated, run through the hose, and filled on top of existing insulation in your attic. Blow-in insulation is easy and affordable. But how does spending money on upgrading to blow-in insulation help with your gas bill?
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           The way insulation works is by reducing thermal conductivity. If you have low r-value insulation or older insulation, your home could be losing heat a lot faster and easier than you might think. Older homes are often under insulated and if you have traditional insulation it may have settled over time, or even be disturbed by the elements, rodents, or other kinds of damage. You can do a simple test of your insulation by walking from room to room and seeing if you notice colder spots, drafts, and worse case when you notice an extremely high heating bill.

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           With winter upon us and cold weather seeping in, many of you are likely trying to save money on your heating bill. One way this can be done is by updating your insulation. With so many different types of insulation available how do you know what is the best type for your application. Our experts recommend blow-in insulation for your typical insulation applications; however, our experts also recommend using bubble foil insulation in places where the temperature is harder to control and maintain. The places we recommend bubble foil insulation would be in your basement walls, knee walls, exterior walls under siding and on cantilevers. So how does this type of insulation work?
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           Traditional insulation works by slowing down the loss of heat from your home. The way bubble foil insulation works is by reducing or reflecting radiant heat flow. During the colder, harsh winter months, most of the heat that you are losing from your home is radiant heat, and this type of insulation is effective in reflecting the heat back into your home. Bubble foil insulation is perfect for higher, warmer temperatures but it is a great addition to any home looking for year round comfort.

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
                        
            Reducing the loss of heat in your home is one of the most effective ways to decrease your home heating bill this winter season. If you are looking to maintain comfort levels in your home, as well as have greater control over our heating, then bubble foil insulation will work great for you.

      <title>3 Fun Home Improvement Projects to Take on This Winter</title>
      <link>https://www.theenergysavers.ca/3-fun-home-improvement-projects-to-take-on-this-winter</link>
      <description />
      <content:encoded>&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           We have been stuck inside for a long time, and with winter headed our way, this will not be changing any time soon. So, we have put together some fun and easy home improvement projects that we think you will love.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Add a Splash of Colour
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           One of the easiest home improvement projects you can do at any time, that can drastically change the look and feel of your home, is to simply add a few coats of paint. Changing the colour of any room, or even adding an accent wall, can completely upgrade your space. A fresh coat of paint can help to refresh your space and even bring some light back into your home. You might even consider painting your ceilings, or even upgrading your garage. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Keep it Simple
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Another simple home improvement project that will also help to create a more energy efficient home, is to change your bulbs and light fixtures. Changing to LED bulbs can help to reduce your energy consumption in the long term. Changing older light fixtures is another simple trick you can do that will help to change the look and feel of a room. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Get Down to Business 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           If you want to take on a large home improvement project, we recommend upgrading your flooring. This can be a daunting task, but it is one of the best ways to upgrade your home, and it is also great for re-sale value. Whether you want to add a modern look with luxury vinyl plank, or add some warmth with a classic hardwood look, there are an abundance of options to consider. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Whatever home improvement project you decide to take on this winter,

           In order to get your home ready for winter, you will want to take a walk around the outside of your home to inspect it for any damage, holes, cracks, gaps, and more. Look at your roof, make sure there is no debris or broken shingles. You will also want to make sure your gutters are clear of debris. You do not want your home to have any additional weight on it. You will also want to clean up your garden, removing your dead annuals, clean up leaves, clear the yard of any children’s or pet toys, and fertilize your lawn. Make sure that you are also mindful of all your seasonal gear. This means storing your patio furniture, clearing of your deck, draining and storing your hoses, and clearing any other outdoor water lines. These simple home maintenance steps can ensure that the outside of your home is ready for winter.

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           Your next home maintenance steps would be to check inside your home. Now is a great time to check your smoke and carbon monoxide detector batteries, and any other battery-operated devices in your home, including your smart thermostat. Now that you are running your furnace, make sure you have changed your filter, updated the humidity settings, and get your vents checked and clean. These minor home maintenance will drastically increase the total home comfort throughout the winter. Our last, and most important improvement is to check your attic insulation. Having a properly insulated attic will keep the humidity and temperature of your home comfortable and keep your utility bills lower.

         This is a subtitle for your new post

&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           With working from home becoming more and more prevalent, we have seen a lot of professionals looking to upgrade their spaces, giving their rooms new life, while still providing a work life balance. But where should you start your home improvement upgrades? Luckily, we have put together a few key home improvements that will increase your productivity with a new, inviting space. 
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           Let There Be Light
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           Woking in an office often means a lack of natural light, especially in the winter. You go into the office when it is dark, and by the time you leave to take the trek home it is dark again. Luckily, working from home means you no longer have to be stuck in your office, missing all the beautiful natural light. Our best home improvement recommendation is to add or upgrade your windows, or even consider adding a skylight. Working in a sun-drenched room can improve your productivity and add some warmth to your day. 
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           Get Moving
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           Another great home improvement trend we have seen is the addition of a home gym. Working from home means a lot less travel outside the home. Our activity goals can get lost in our new work from home schedule. A great way to improve your movement as well as your mood is to add a home gym. Your home gym will give you a chance to get moving all in the comfort of your home. You might already have equipment, weights, and bands scattered all over the house. Creating a home gym will give you a space to have everything all together. 
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           Add a Sanctuary
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
            
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           Now that your home is also your office, it can feel hard to get away from your work life. One of our favourite home improvements is a basement upgrade. Miss going to the movies? Add a home theatre, or a rec room. Need more space for your in-laws? Add an in-laws suite. The possibilities for basement home improvements are endless.

           With climate change looming overhead, more and more homeowners are looking for ways to have a cleaner, greener impact. However, many homeowners do not know where to start when it comes to getting a greener home. At Energy Savers Insulation &amp;amp; Exteriors, we recommend one simple solution that will put you on the right track, blow-in insulation. Upgrading your insulation will provide your home with better overall comfort and energy efficiency, which means your energy costs will be lower and an improvement in your environmental impact. But what is blow-in insulation, and how does it work?

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           Our eco-friendly blow-in insulation is a high R-value, fiberglass insulation that is blown into your existing walls and floors. The blow-in insulation allows the fiberglass fill to pack into your walls or flooring completely and densely, and fills the entire space, eliminating cracks and air gaps. Our insulation will fill in around your home’s pipes, wires, and everything in between. You will never have to worry about our blow-in insulation settling over time, or even corroding. This type of insulation is the perfect solution to a greener, environmentally friendly home.

            With our Canadian government offering green initiatives and support to homeowners that choose to move towards energy efficient upgrades, it seems like the easy choice to make the change. However, some people do not consider upgrading their insulation, as they believe that what they have is good enough and it does the job. But is this enough? It has been proven that upgrading insulation in your home can drastically increase the home’s energy efficiency, comfort, and environmental impact. Using eco-friendly options, like our blow-in insulation, will mean lower energy usage in your home and a lower carbon footprint for you. As the world moves closer to a solution to climate change, more homeowners will be retrofitting their homes and new builds with greener, cleaner homes.

      <title>Can Blow-In Insulation Help Regulate Your Home’s Temperature?</title>

           When high temperatures hit your home, you probably are not thinking about your insulation. However, when it comes to regulating the temperature in your home, having a proper insulation can make a big difference. At Energy Savers Insulation &amp;amp; Exteriors, we use JM Climate Pro blow-in insulation. JM Climate Pro insulation is thermally efficient and offers complete coverage, even in tight spaces.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

           How Does Blow-In Insulation Work?

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            When a new home is built, batt insulation, is cut to fit in your studs and ceiling joists. This type of insulation installation is done by cutting the thick fiberglass insulation into strips and fitting it into your home.

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            is exactly as it sounds. It is blown into your existing walls by removing a strip of drywall in the middle of your wall, installing a breathable fabric over the opening. Using a long, flexible hose, the material is blown into the gaps and small spaces between the studs creating a blanket of insulation. Blow-in insulation can be added to your attic or walls. Blow-in insulation will fill in around electrical boxes, into tight spaces, hard to reach spaces, and will prevent thermal bridging in your walls or attic.

            There is often one tell tale sign that it is time to look at your insulation, your energy bills. If you have been noticing higher than normal bills, it can be a sign that there is an air leak in your home, or poor insulation. You might also notice uneven temperatures throughout your home. There may be areas that feel warmer or cooler than the rest of your home. If there has ever been any water damage, or an infestation, you will want to re-evaluate your insulation needs.

      <title>What You Need to Know About Energy Saving Home Updates</title>

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Recently, the Canadian government launched a new energy saving home rebate program. This program revolves around grants up to $5000 being offered for homeowners retrofitting their home with energy-efficient upgrades. Homeowners that are looking to save money on their energy bills, while also upgrading parts of their home will want to take advantage of this energy saving solution. So, what are some upgrades you should focus on to get the best energy saving bang for your buck.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Eligibility
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Before you research what types of retrofits or upgrades you want for your home, you must first understand what types of properties are eligible for the program. Thankfully, the government has included a variety of property types. From single and semi-detached homes to townhomes and mobile homes, there is range of different properties that are eligible for upgrade. Once you determine if your home is eligible, you can then determine what upgrades are eligible and worth it.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Some homeowners may want to stick to the simpler upgrades such as sealing off air drafts and leaks, or upgrading their heating or cooling system. Other homeowners may take full advantage of the energy saving rebate by replacing their windows, even replacing their old, ineffective insulation, or fitting their home with solar panels. Whatever option you choose, you will also want to be sure that the upgrade does still fit your budget, even with the rebate.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Homeowners must also understand that there are some retrofits that must be installed by a licensed professional or contractor, and materials and systems must be bought in Canada. Homeowners will also need to ensure to keep all necessary documentation from the retrofit.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

           Now that Edmonton has launched the new home energy rebate program, homeowners have the opportunity to make their homes more energy efficient by upgrading windows, insulation, furnaces, and more. Several different types of homes, such as townhomes, mobile homes, semi-detached, and detached homes are all eligible for the new home energy rebate. This rebate will allow homeowners to receive up to $1500 per home. But how can homeowners use the new home energy rebates to their advantage? At Energy Savers Insulation &amp;amp; Exteriors, we believe that upgrading insulation is the perfect first step to adding energy efficiency and comfort to the home.

            With the new home energy rebate, there are many avenues’ homeowners can take to upgrade their homes function, comfort, and efficiency. There are a lot of benefits of upgrading the home’s insulation. From providing comfort in the home all year long, to reducing the noise in the home, new insulation makes the home easier to maintain over time. The most obvious benefit to upgraded insulation is that the home’s heating and cooling bill will significantly decrease because the home is no long losing heat or letting in unnecessary drafts. Adding and upgrading insulations means that energy bills will decrease because energy consumption will decrease. This will add overall value to the home, increase home comfort, and will even help to prevent moisture buildup which can lead to mold damage.

            When you think about ventilation in your home, you probably think about your furnace or air conditioner. But what about attic ventilation? Do you know what ventilation system is in your home? Do you know if it is the right ventilation system for your home? There are many questions you should be asking when it comes to your ventilation system, but how do you know where to start and what to ask? At Energy Savers Insulation, our ventilation experts can help to ensure your home is comfortable and efficient.

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
                        
            One of the first things you should be asking your ventilation expert is what ventilation system does your home currently use. Your ventilation expert will be able to look at your home, the region you live, all the variables that affect your ventilation system, and what is needed to improve your system. Once you know what ventilation system is in your home, you can then determine the efficiency of that system. You will want to ask how efficiently your ventilation system is removes old air, as well as how the air gets in and out of your attic. All attics must have a fresh air intake and an air outlet. This will maximize the air in as well as to optimize the efficiency of the air out. Your ventilation expert will let you know if your ventilation system is performing the best that it can, and will be able to recommend improvements where needed.

           Hot air rises, and that means that the roof of your home is collecting all of that hot Edmonton air this summer. The attic, in your Edmonton home, on a 25-degree day can reach temperatures of 85 degrees Celsius. The intense heat in your attic can transfer into your living space causing your air conditioner to be cooling the air in your attic. This intense heat can also shorten the life expectancy of your shingles. It can also increase dry rot of structural wood in the attic, due to lack of moisture from the high heat. It is important for our attic to breathe, and the higher frequency the air turns over in your attic the more efficient it will operate. What can you do to ensure that the hot air in your attic is handled correctly? It is all about the attic ventilation!

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
                        
            The temperature in the attic is dictated by several things: colour of your shingles, openness of your soffits, type of ventilation system on the roof, the direction the house faces, the height of your home and surrounding trees and homes around yours. Without proper attic ventilation, this hot summer heat can build up in your attic and down into the rest of your home, meaning that you will have to increase your cooling needs. The best way to combat the high cost of cooling your home, is to take care of the issue at the source. Your attic needs proper air circulation which includes adequate intake and exhaust vents. Your intake vents will allow for the cooler outside air to flow into the attic, while the vents will allow the hot and moist air to be exhausted outside.

            If you want to save money, installing proper attic ventilation will pay for itself by not only reducing your cooling costs, but by ensuring that you will not have future problems caused by moisture, attic mold, ice dams, and more. Not only that, but the proper attic ventilation means that you will have whole home comfort all year long. Adding the proper attic ventilation to your roof is more affordable than you think, so if you are unsure what the proper circulation in your home should be,

            Your eavestrough or gutters, are an important part of your home’s roofing system. Properly working gutters mean that your home will have protection from drainage issues, siding damage, or even flood damage to your foundation. So, what do you do if you notice dents, damage, or drainage issues with your eaves? Should you have a gutter repair or do you need to replace? Here are a few things to help you decide if you need a gutter repair or a complete gutter replacement.

            For the most part, your gutters will be able to withstand a lot of debris, muck, and rushing water. During heavy downpours, you may even notice overflowing water and other spillage issues. Does this mean it is time for a gutter repair or for a complete replacement? First, you will walk around your home and determine if you can see any bending or sagging on your gutters. Are any parts of your gutters pulling away from the side of your home? Do you see any cracks that are causing leaks? Most importantly, do you notice any mould or mildew, or rot damage to your home or siding that was caused by an excess of water or water seepage due to poor drainage. Minor damage means that there is the option for gutter repair, but if you notice any of the above-mentioned damage, it might be time to call our roofing experts.

            Upgrading your gutters means that you can add more efficient gutters to your roofing system. Adding 5-inch continuous gutters can be more efficient, which means there will be less overflow, less clogging, and no leaking seams. These gutters will last you longer and will require less overall maintenance. If you are unsure if you can perform a gutter repair or if you need a complete gutter replacement,

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            If you have been considering replacing or upgrading your home’s siding, then now is the perfect time to add insulation under the siding. There are many benefits to adding insulation under the siding of your home, and we want to show you our top three.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Prevents Thermal Bridging
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            If you are trying to figure out why you are paying such high costs for your home’s heating and cooling, you might want to learn more about
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;a href="https://www.theenergysavers.ca/thermal-bridging-what-is-it-and-how-to-avoid-it" target="_blank"&gt;&#xD;
      
           thermal bridging
          &#xD;
    &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
             . Thermal bridging occurs when your homes building materials meet, such as between a roof and ceiling. Even though your walls are insulated with the proper r-value for your home, thermal bridging can actually cause your r-value to lower. So, how do you stop this? By adding a layer of insulation. Siding with insulation helps to gap the thermal bridge and will keep your home warmer and better protected from the heat leaving your home.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Adds Efficiency
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Not only will insulation under the siding stop your home from losing more heat than it has to, but it will also keep your utility bills down. Ensuring that your home is not losing heat, is the best way to keep those energy bills down. Not only will your exterior walls be more energy efficient, but they will also be more efficient at keeping the ambient noise to a minimum. Insulation under the siding helps to keep the outside noise from coming into your home.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Is Cost Effective
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Another added benefit of adding siding that is insulated to your home is that it will increase the resale value. You can also upgrade the aesthetic appeal to your home when choosing your new siding.
           &#xD;

         This is a subtitle for your new post
        
                &#xD;
&lt;/h3&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/153f0b4b/dms3rep/multi/Perforated+Soffits+3-701x249.jpg" alt="The ceiling of a building with lights on it and a blue sky in the background."/&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           Attic ventilation is one of the most important aspects of keeping your home’s heating and cooling system well balanced. Proper ventilation means that you will avoid warm moisture air from entering your attic, which can lead to condensation and mold. However, not many people consider their attic ventilation when assessing their whole home comfort. So, why is attic ventilation important and what is the best ventilation for your home?
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           Perforated Soffits or Not?
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
                        
            Perforated or ventilated soffits allow for air flow to move in and out of your home’s attic. The tiny holes in your soffits allow for fresh air in attic. Adding soffit stops in the attic allows the fresh air to enter the attic and keeps the insulation from blocking the air flow. This means that your insulation will stay in place when air does begin to come in the attic. Having continuous soffit around the entirety of your roofing is and effective way to ventilate your attic.
           
                      &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           Many older homes often use plywood soffit because they wanted to seal the home up and not let the cold air in. It is important to change plywood soffits to allow fresh air in, while also adding turbines to your roof to take warm air out.
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
                        
            Soffit can be added or replaced, and the cost will vary based on your roof’s overhang, the material you choose, or how intricate your roof structure is.
           
                      &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;

      <title>Why You Need an Expert When it Comes to Home Renovations</title>
      <link>https://www.theenergysavers.ca/why-you-need-an-expert-when-it-comes-to-home-renovations</link>

      <content:encoded>&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           When it comes to home renovations, a lot of people think that if you have the tools and the materials you can get the job done. Sure, there are a few home renovations projects that simply involve basic skill levels, but what about those bigger jobs? What happens when a renovation stops being DIY and becomes a disaster? Who can you trust to get the job done, and what makes them an expert? Is it the guy in aisle 19 in your local hardware store or the TV star living in another part of the country?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Possibly but highly unlikely. An expert is someone who knows the industry and works directly with it.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           An expert offers the facts not their opinion. Having an expert means professional installation, the best quality products, and having someone that will not underestimate the time frame or the cost. So, what are a few home renovations that you should call an expert for?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Bathrooms, Basements, Flooring &amp;amp; More
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
            
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Picking up some paint and rollers is a great way to refresh the look of your home. But what if you want to completely change the look and feel of your space? What if you want to add a deep soaker tub, a walk-in shower, some new hardwood, or new, energy saving windows?

      <title>Is Insulation Removal Better or Should You Compress with Blow In Insulation?</title>
      <link>https://www.theenergysavers.ca/is-insulation-removal-better-or-should-you-compress-with-blow-in-insulation</link>
      <description>Visit the Energy Savers Insulation &amp; Exteriors Insulation Removal Better or Should You Compress with Blow In Insulation?</description>
      <content:encoded>&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Is your home’s attic in serious need of an insulation upgrade? Have you been told that you need to completely remove your current insulation? Want to avoid a costly, unnecessary step of insulation removal? We can help! If you have noticed that your home’s attic insulation has not been performing the way that it should be and you have been considering removing and replacing the outdated insulation, you might want to consider adding blow in fibre glass insulation to fill in and compress your insulation. If you have been in touch with other insulation companies, they may have recommended that your only solution is insulation removal because their insulation product might not be compatible with your existing attic insulation. Luckily, our blow in fibre glass insulation is compatible with all forms of other insulation, as it is light weight and chemical free.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           You should be aware that insulation removal is not always necessary. It is possible to install attic insulation over your existing insulation. Our fibreglass blow in insulation will contour around and conform to your walls and most obstructions found in your attic walls.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            If you are not sure if it is time for upgraded attic insulation, simply take a look, measure, and asses. Keeping in mind there are many types of insulation, with varying R values per inch. If you open the attic and you can see ceiling joists, then you definitely need upgraded insulation. If you do not feel comfortable going into your attic, get in touch with us and we can come take a look for you. We will audit your attic insulation needs and let you know if insulation removal is really necessary or if we can use fibreglass blow in insulation over your existing insulation.

      <title>Drywall Ghosting: What is it and How to Fix it?</title>
      <link>https://www.theenergysavers.ca/drywall-ghosting-what-is-it-and-how-to-fix-it</link>
      <description>What id drywall ghosting, &amp; should you be worried for your home?  Contact Energy Savers Insulation &amp; Exteriors today to learn more.</description>
      <content:encoded>&lt;div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;img src="https://irp.cdn-website.com/153f0b4b/dms3rep/multi/esi+open-graph-pic-9bee2a24.png" alt="The logo for energy savers insulation is green and blue."/&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           You have likely heard of the term ghosting before, but maybe not in the context of your ceiling or drywall. So, what is drywall ghosting and what can be done to fix it? Although, you may not know what the term ghosting is, you have likely seen the dark streaks on your walls or your ceilings. These dark drywall ghosting marks are caused by a combination of a few things: moisture, dust buildup, cold air spots, static, soot, condensation, and other air drafts. It often is not just one thing that causes ghosting, and usually every home has a few things that cause the problem. 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           When there are cold spots on your walls or ceilings dampness can form which then leads to dust or soot accumulating and clinging to the damp spots, leaving a dark streak known as ghosting. Unfortunately, there are many things that cause ghosting, and you cannot simply paint over the problem and hope it goes away. Your ceiling or walls will need to be cleaned thoroughly and the issues will need to be resolved, so that the dirty streaks do not reoccur.  
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Each home is unique in the circumstances that cause drywall ghosting. Recently, Energy Savers Insulation &amp;amp; Exteriors was in a home where the chimney flue ran inside the wall to the attic and was exposed to dust and had cellulose falling down the wall. This is what was causing those dark ghost streaks on the walls. In order to prevent the ghosting from reappearing, our experts will be building up the soffits and add insulation.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
        
            Whatever the combination is, the main reason drywall ghosting occurs is typically from a poor choice of insulation accompanied by a poor vapour barrier combined with moisture. No matter the cause, if you have noticed dark streaking on your ceiling or drywall, we can come and inspect your home’s insulation needs. If you suspect your home is in danger of drywall ghosting,

           The winter can be harsh, cold, and dry. Having the proper home humidity in your house is integral this time of year, but what should your humidity levels be set at in your home? We know that you will likely want to alleviate the cold, dry air in your home, but also avoid adding too much humidity that results in moisture issues in your home. Luckily, we have a helpful guide to keep your home comfortable and issue free.

  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           It might be tempting to raise the home humidity levels in your house this winter, but too much humidity can lead to a build up of condensation on your windows, or worse, cause attic rain, roof staining, and mold. So, what is the right level? Some people may think that you should keep your home between 30%-40% during the winter months, and this may be the case, but this range is not always accurate. In order to choose the right humidity level, you need to account for the temperature inside as well as outside the home. When the temperatures start dipping below -20 Celsius, your humidity should be no higher than 20%. Once those cold Edmonton temperatures dip even further to -30 Celsius, you will want to readjust your humidity levels to be no higher than 15%. Making sure that your home is set at the proper humidity will ensure that you do not run into moisture issues that can cause serious damage or mold to your home.

           Have you been noticing brown spots on your ceiling or puddles pooling on your floor? The ceiling stains you are noticing can be cause by a few things. Poor ventilation or insulation, too much humidity in your home, a leaky roof, or incorrectly installed goosenecks or vents. But how do you know what the underlying issue is, and how do you go about cleaning up those unsightly brown watermarks?
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

           Is Cleaning a Ceiling Stain Enough?

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Cleaning up the stains on your ceiling is not that difficult. There are a few easy, DIY options that will get your roof back to looking pristine. You can use bleach and water to blot and wipe away the stain. This will not remove the entire stain, but it will remove some of the colour from the ceiling stain and once it has dried you can paint over the area. If painting is not an option you can remove the damaged area and replace it with new materials, or you can sand and seal the area. These quick fixes will get rid of the ugly stain, but if you do not address and repair the underlying issue, your ceiling stains will continue, and your issues can become even worse.

         Our Edmonton weather likes to come in extremes. You can often see all four seasons in the span of one day, even in the middle of winter. Unfortunately, these drastic temperature changes can lead to something called attic rain. Attic rain, if you are unfamiliar, is when the moisture in the attic accumulates and freezes during cold temperatures. The frozen water then melts once the weather starts to warm, causing frozen water droplets or frost on your attic ceiling. This moisture can lead to mold, rot, and worse. Since controlling the weather is impossible, what other ways are there to combat attic rain?

    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
          Any time there is heat created in the house, there is a potential for attic rain. To reduce this risk, you will want to make sure that you have adequate sealing in your home. You will want to look at your attic venting and make sure it is suitably ventilated. You will want to make sure that the air in your home is going directly outside, not settling in your home. 
         
                  &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
          You will also want to check your attic to make certain that there is proper insulation up there. Make note of any missing or low spots of insulation. Once your insulation is up to code, you will also want to consider what your humidity levels are at in your home.

         Winter is coming. With that, it is going to become cold and uncomfortable outside. The last thing you want is to be cold and uncomfortable in your home. However, if you do not have proper insulation in your home, you can experience a significant amount of heat loss. This heat loss may be caused by something called thermal bridging, heat, or cold bridging. Heat bridging can occur in many areas of your home, particularly doors, windows, your floors, walls, and any openings in your walls. So, what is thermal bridging and how can you avoid this heat loss?
         
                  &#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
        
                        
            What is Thermal Bridging?
           
                      &#xD;
      &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           Thermal bridging has to do with heat transference through conduction. When the temperature is different on either side of a building material, inside and outside of your home, the heat will follow the path of least resistance. The heat in your home will be trying to escape your home and get to the outside. The heat will flow through the material to the lowest thermal resistance – the non-insulated wooden studs. These heat bridges are caused because the framing materials of your home conduct more heat than insulating your home. The R-value of your insulation might be high, but your framing materials might be bumping that rating down, due to its conductivity.
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
            
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           Thermal bridging is not only responsible for energy loss, but it can cause mold as this bridge causes the potential for condensation. If this is not dealt with, the mold can turn into a damp rot.

    &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           The heat bridge can be broken, and added to any home, new or old. Any home can increase its efficiency by adding a layer of continuous exterior insulation. The exterior insulation wrap will stop the heat loss and heat bridging by insulating the wooden studs. If you have noticed that your home is losing heat, get in touch with us to discuss thermal bridging and how to address it with continuous exterior wrap insulation.

         Now that the colder weather has hit, everyone is spending a little more time indoors. You are probably looking for peace and quiet. However, you may not always be able to find that peace. Are you looking to reduce the noise in your home? Tired of hearing the bark of your neighbourhood dog? Want to host a small Thanksgiving get together without hearing the outside noise? We can help! Did you know that the number one best sound proofing insulation is blow in blanket insulation?

  &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
  
                  
         is the highest rated of all the insulation methods, as the fiberglass is blown in between the studs and joist, filling in nicely. This insulation also has the added benefit of being retrofitted by simply removing a strip of drywall along the wall, floor, or ceiling.

          In order to increase your soundproofing, you need to stop the vibrations. Using

    &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
          is a perfect solution, as the fiberglass insulation fills into the gaps and hollow spaces in your walls. The less space, the less room there is for vibrations and noise transfer. One of the best aspects of this insulation is that it will not settle over time. This highly thermal fiberglass insulation will completely fill the space at first fill.

          The reason is simple, it is a lack of insulation!

  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
          The first question is: why is there a lack of insulation?

  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
          The answer to the first question is builders rarely insulate to subfloor of the bonus room. They insulate the ceiling of the garage, but leave a void above the insulation and below the floor or the bonus room. Their solution is to run heat ducts into the cavity, commonly referred to as a hot box. This does not work in Alberta’s climate. The temperature inside the cavity will be the same as the temperature outside. The idea with the hotbox is that your furnace will heat this space. However, your furnace runs for approximately 2 minutes, every 20 minutes or so. Now the air and the metal pipes for the ducts are going to be very cold, so your furnace spends energy just trying to heat the ducts. This is why your heat registers in the bonus room blow cold air for the first minute of the furnace cycle. Once the ducts are warmed up, they will blow warm air, by that time the furnace shuts off as the rest of the house has warmed up. It’s a tremendous waste of energy and never works. The answer I most commonly hear from builders as to why they do this, “it’s the way we’ve always done it”.

  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
          So then, how do you fix it? It’s actually fairly simple. If it is a new build and the garage ceiling has not been put up, the subfloor and perimeter of the cavity can be spray foamed. If it is a home already finish then we can offer a process called a blow-in blanket. We remove a small section of the garage ceiling, directly below the bonus room (20”x20”). Once we have access to the cavity we will fill it completely full of chemical free insulation. By removing all the air and space the cold will no longer fill the cavity, your bonus room will be warm and your heating cost will go down!

         October is here which can only mean one thing in Edmonton, winter is coming. You will likely be spending this time getting your home ready for winter. Raking the leaves, removing your hose from your outside tap, and clearing out those gutters before the snow hits. There are many things to do outside your house to make sure it is ready for the cold, Edmonton winters. However, what about the inside of your house, and better yet, what about your insulation? 
         
                  &#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
          Making sure you have adequate insulation can ensure that your home has uniform temperatures throughout the home, including your roof. When you do not have the proper uniformed temperatures, the surface of your roof can heat and cool unevenly causing ice damming. Ice damming is when a ridge of ice is formed, stopping snow and subsequent water from properly draining off your roof. The dammed water can lead to damage to your roof, walls, soffit, and siding. It is important to know how to prevent ice damming from happening, and what to do to take immediate action to get rid of the water.

           How to Prevent Ice Damming and How to Take Immediate Action 
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
          One easy way to prevent the buildup of snow, ice, and water, is to address your insulation. Proper insulation and venting will help to create even, uniformed temperatures and air flow through your roof. If you are not sure if you have proper insulation, Energy Savers Insulation can provide a free home inspection and let you know if your insulation is up to code. You will also want to make sure that your roof is properly vented, and that the damming did not cause any major damage to your roof, shingles, or siding. 
         
                  &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
          Once you have addressed your insulation, if you do have ice damming, you will want to make sure you remove the dam immediately. This dam can cause water damage to your roof, shingle, and even siding. To remove the snow, use an elongated, specialized roof rake to remove the snow. This will remove the heavy layer of snow, allowing some thawing. You can also install heat cables in a zigzag pattern to promote faster thawing.

    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
          Whether you are getting your home ready for this winter or you are fixing issues from last winter, make sure that you keep your insulation in mind.

      <title>What is Insulation R-Value and is Yours High Enough?</title>
      <link>https://www.theenergysavers.ca/what-is-insulation-r-value-and-is-yours-high-enough</link>
      <description>What Is your insulation R value?  Contact Energy Savers Insulation today to find out.</description>
      <content:encoded>&lt;div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;img src="https://irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/2839230b/dms3rep/multi/insulation-R-value.jpg" alt="A graph showing a comparison of different types of windows"/&gt;&#xD;
&lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  
                  
         When looking to upgrade your insulation and trying to find the right insulation for your home, you have likely come across the phrase insulation R-value. So, what is insulation R-value and is yours high enough?
         
                  &#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
          Insulation R-value is the thermal-resistance level. In other words, it is how well the building material is able to resist heat. This means that the greater the R-value, the greater the effectiveness the insulation has. When you are looking for the best insulation for you, you will want to use the R-value to measure the efficiency of your insulation. Every type of insulation will have its own R-value, for example wood chips that are found in older homes will have an R-value of R1 per inch, whereas fiberglass blow-in insulation has an insulation R-value of R3.2 per inch. To put this into perspective, the current building code is to have R60 in the attic. This means that you would need around 19 inches of fiber glass blow-in to achieve an R60 in your attic.
         
                  &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           The Higher the R-Value, the Warmer the Home?
          
                    &#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
          Your insulation’s R-value will be higher or lower depending on the type of material used, the thickness, and the density. The higher the R-value, the greater your insulation will perform. This means, as long as you have proper insulation and the right R-value in all areas of your home (ceiling, floors, and walls), the better your home will be at keeping in the heat in the cold winter months. Each area of your home will also need to have different ratings of R-value. Your ceilings/attics, walls above grade, and foundation walls will all need different levels of R-values.
         
                  &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      
                      
           Where to Begin

  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
          If you are overwhelmed with trying to figure out which type of insulation you need and what rating of insulation R-value you need,

         Winter is coming. The best way to avoid the winter blues is to get your home ready for those cold winter days with the help of your local insulation company. Energy Savers Insulation has prepared a simple list for you to get your home ready. 
         &#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      
           Getting Your Home Winter Ready:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Clean your gutters: making sure your gutters are clear of leaves and debris will help prevent serious damage to your home’s roof. If your gutters are not cleaned, you risk them freezing over, preventing water from being properly diverting away from your home. This can cause foundation and roof damage, mold, and mildew. 
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Check your furnace: Make sure your furnace vents are cleaned regularly to prevent a dust buildup. 
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Check attic insulation: Having adequate attic ventilation is key during the winter months. The walls, windows  and your attic is the main source where heat leaves your home. A properly insulated attic will ensure you are not losing heat and increasing your utility bill. If you are unsure,
          &#xD;
    &lt;a href="/contact"&gt;&#xD;
      
           get in touch with us
          &#xD;
    &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
    
          , your local insulation company, and we can offer an inspection. 
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Check attic ventilation: While you are in the attic checking on your insulation, be sure to check the insulation as well. If your attic is not properly ventilated it can cause moisture to buildup in the attic causing ice damming and worse. 
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Check exterior walls: You may have noticed last winter that your walls were cold to the touch. This could be from poor or a lack of adequate insulation. Energy Savers Insulation can make sure that your home is not losing heat and that your energy bills are not higher than they need to be. 
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;

    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Winter can be harsh and isolating. Make sure your home is a place for comfort and relaxation with these simple tips.

         to curl up and what are the steps you can do to prevent this from happening?

           Myth:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Your roof shingles are curling from the hot, summer sun beating down on it. 
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      
           Fact: 
          &#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Your roof shingles will not curl up due to the sun shining on your home. If this were the case, your shingles would not last very long. The truth is that your roof shingles are likely curling from the heat inside of your attic, not outside. You may want to take a look into your attic and see if it is properly ventilated. A poorly ventilated attic can cause the hot, summer heat to be trapped inside, causing the shingles to heat and curl from inside the attic. 
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      
           Myth:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
    
           
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          You can add a layer of new shingles over top of your old shingles. 
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
      
           Fact
          &#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
    
          : 
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Trying to add a new layer of roof shingles on top of your old, cracked and curling shingles will not work. It is likely that your new shingles will not line up with the old ones, which will prevent your shingles from sealing properly. 
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          You can use any old nails you have in the garage to fix or install shingles. 
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;

           Fact:
          &#xD;
    &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Most shingles have regulations that ensure proper installation. Using the wrong materials can cause your shingles to lift, wear faster, and even void warranty. Making sure you follow guidelines will help your roof shingles last longer. 
         &#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
          Theses are just a few myths and facts about your shingles. If you are in need of some new shingles or have questions about why your roof shingles may be curling,

      <title>How to Prepare Your Home for Summer Heat with Your Edmonton Insulation Company</title>
      <link>https://www.theenergysavers.ca/how-to-prepare-your-home-for-summer-heat-with-your-edmonton-insulation-company</link>

&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  
         As summer in Edmonton comes into full swing, your Energy Savers Insulation knows that you are eager to keep your home cool and comfortable. You may be quick to think about adding an air conditioner to your home, but there are easier and more cost-effective solutions that will help your home year-round. For starters,
         &#xD;
  &lt;a href="/contact"&gt;&#xD;
    
          getting in touch
         &#xD;
  &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
  
         with Energy Savers Insulation and upgrading your insulation and ventilation can be the first step to making sure that your home stays cool this summer.
         &#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;b&gt;&#xD;
          
             Insulation Versus Air Conditioner 
            &#xD;
        &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        
            Air conditioners can be pricey, not only for the unit themselves, but for the installation process and potential ongoing maintenance costs. You will also have to consider the ongoing care of your unit to ensure that it will last for years to come. Another cost associated with adding an air conditioner is the cost of running the unit. Depending on the size of your home and how cool you want to keep it, you could be increasing your monthly home utility bill by a significant amount.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        
            Energy Savers Insulation believes that adding or upgrading your insulation is a one-time cost that will be effective not only during the summer months, but during the looming winter months as well. Not only will this be a one-time cost, but you also will not have to worry about the ongoing maintenance, increased energy bills, or the noise often associated with a bulky air conditioning unit.
           &#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        
             
           &#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;

             Maintain Your Home’s Temperature Year Round
            &#xD;
        &lt;/b&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
        
            We know that adding an air conditioner to your home feels like a quick fix with instant benefits, but we also know that there are a lot of costs associated with upgrading your HVAC system. So, before you add a bulky, noisy air conditioning unit to your home, consider

&lt;div data-rss-type="text"&gt;&#xD;
  
                  
         Bay windows, also known as cantilevers, are a great way to give your home a more spacious feel while also allowing more natural light into the home. Whether you already have a bay window, or you are looking to add one to your home, you need to make sure that your cantilever is well insulated. This means having the proper insulation installed in your Edmonton home.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/div&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
          At Energy Savers Insulation we can access the insulation by the inside, if access is available, or by removing the sheathing under the cantilevered area. We use a

    &lt;/a&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
          and add bubble foil insulation to insulate the joists of your bay window. Using our blow-in blanket insulation system, we will insulate your joists, which will help to ensure that you have an even flow of heat throughout your home.

  &lt;div&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
          Your cantilever should be a gorgeous addition to your home but having a cold air draft can turn that beauty into a hassle. If your window is not properly sealed, you could be spending too much money on your utility bills. Energy Savers Insulation can help to fix your cold air flow and provide you with the proper blow-in insulation. If you have noticed uneven or cold airflow near your bay window,

    During these cold winter temperatures in
Alberta many Albertans notice that their furnace runs often, their home feels
cold or they have to keep their thermostat up high just to keep their homes at
room temperature. The best remedy for these winter problems is to ensure your
attic insulation is adequate. Think about the times you have gone outside fully
clothed but you did not wear a toque. You are still feeling cold and that’s
because you are losing a lot of heat through your head. The idea of a toque is
to keep the heat in. The same goes for your house, adding attic insulation will
keep the heat in, which in turn will make your home feel warmer, keep the
thermostat turned down and your furnace will run less often.
  
                  &#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    
                    
    Now that we have talked about how and why
to keep the heat in let’s talk about other benefits. When your furnace is
running non-stop you can hear the dollars signs adding up and you can see it on
your heating bills. By adding adequate attic insulation, you are keeping the
heat in and in turn your heating bill will be less because you won’t be
attempting to heat the outside.

         Attic Ventilation Is Crucial

          Attic ventilation mау be one of thе places оftеn ignored іn уоur hоmе. After аll, уоu dоn't get to vіѕіt the attic thаt often, еxсерt реrhарѕ whеn you're ѕtоrіng boxes оr unuѕеd appliances. Pеорlе tend tо tаkе іt fоr grаntеd bесаuѕе thеу dоn't vіѕіt thаt part of thе house аѕ muсh as thе оthеr rooms. But dо you knоw thаt іt'ѕ іmроrtаnt tо keep your аttіс well vеntіlаtеd? Lеt'ѕ tаkе a lооk аt thе іmроrtаnсе оf having proper attic vеntіlаtіоn bеlоw.
          &#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    
          Fоr the warmer months of thе year, its ԛuіtе оbvіоuѕ that the bеnеfіt оf a well vеntіlаtеd attic is to hаvе a lоwеr attic temperature. If уоu keep a lоwеr аttіс tеmреrаturе іn уоur hоmе, thеn уоu'll bе dесrеаѕіng уоur сооlіng соѕtѕ. Thе аіr conditioning unit іn уоur home dоеѕn't hаvе to wоrk аѕ hаrd to cool thе attic. At thе ѕаmе tіmе, hаvіng a wеll vеntіlаtеd attic wіll lеаvе уоu wіth ѕоmеthіng like a cool protective blаnkеt frоm the hеаt оutѕіdе. Nо matter hоw much insulation уоu hаvе up thеrе, іt wоn't mаttеr іf your аttіс isn't wеll vеntіlаtеd. In fасt, іf уоu dоn't hаvе proper vеntіlаtіоn іn уоur аttіс, thаt іnѕulаtіоn wіll even саuѕе the tеmреrаturе tо rіѕе.
          &#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    
          Thе іnѕulаtіоn tеndѕ to rеtаіn thе ѕоlаr heat even аftеr thе ѕun gоеѕ down. Aside frоm thаt, аnоthеr great bеnеfіt of a wеll ventilated аttіс is іt hеlрѕ prolong thе lіfе оf asphalt ѕhіnglеѕ. The roof takes a bеаtіng during the ѕummеr hеаt. Evеn thоugh they are dеѕіgnеd tо withstand thе burnіng sun, thеу wіll be ѕubjесt tо more еxроѕurе if the rооfіng shingles аrе оvеrhеаtеd. Thіѕ hарреnѕ wіth a рооrlу vеntіlаtеd аttіс.
          &#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    
          Nоw that wе'vе talked аbоut thе benefits оf having proper аttіс ventilation durіng thе wаrmеr mоnthѕ, let's dіѕсuѕѕ thе аdvаntаgеѕ during the сооlеr mоnthѕ of thе year whеn ѕоlаr wіntеr starts kісkіng іn. Onе of thе оbvіоuѕ issues durіng thе соld season is the buіld-uр оf mоіѕturе. You ѕhоuld kеер аwау frоm hаvіng mоіѕturе еntеr thе attic.
          &#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    
          Even іf уоu'vе got vароr bаrrіеrѕ, there's ѕtіll gоіng to bе mоіѕturе going uр thаt attic. Fоr example, іt wіll go thrоugh thе ceiling lіght fіxturеѕ аnd еxhаuѕt fаn іn уоur bathroom among оthеrѕ. It's a bіg concern to hаvе mоіѕturе соndеnѕіng in уоur roof. It wіll lеаd to mоld, mіldеw, аnd еvеn rоt. Inѕtеаd оf gеttіng rid of mold and mildew, why not рrеvеnt thеm? If уоu go up іn thе аttіс and nоtісе ѕоmе wаtеr ѕроtѕ or drірѕ even іf thеrе'ѕ no lеаk in the roof, оr іf уоu'vе nоtісеd rusty nаіlѕ аnd ѕtаіnеd wооd, then оbvіоuѕlу, уоu'vе got mоіѕturе buіldіng uр. Hаvіng a wеll-vеntіlаtеd аttіс wіll dеfіnіtеlу ѕоlvе thе problem.
          &#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    
          Inѕulаtіng аn аttіс is one of thе thіngѕ уоu саn dо for уоur attic or rооf іѕѕuеѕ. But hаvіng proper аttіс vеntіlаtіоn wіll hеlр еvеn mоrе. There аrе dіffеrеnt tуреѕ оf vents thаt уоu can іnѕtаll in your attic. Amоng thе nоn-mесhаnісаl tуреѕ of vents іѕ thе gable vеnt. It саn help іn the uрреr parts оf уоur attic but causes vаrуіng tеmреrаturеѕ. The bеѕt vеntіlаtіоn tо uѕе would bе a combination of ѕоffіt аnd rіdgе vents. Note hоwеvеr thаt thіѕ іѕ quite a difficult рrоjесt to do оn your own.

According tо ѕtаtіѕtісѕ poor (or аbѕеnt) аttіс іnѕulаtіоn will account for uр to 15 % оf thе tоtаl еnеrgу lоѕѕ іn уоur hоuѕе. Inѕulаtіng аn attic which іѕ gеnеrаllу unhеаtеd іѕ vіtаl in the hоmе energy saving рrосеѕѕ.
