Attic Insulation in North York: Starting from $0.99/sqft
North York has one of the most diverse housing stocks in the GTA, post-war bungalows in Bathurst Manor, mid-century semis near Downsview, raised ranches in Bayview Village, ravine homes in Don Mills. What most of them have in common: attic insulation that was installed decades ago and hasn't kept pace with modern energy standards.
For most North York homeowners, that means quietly paying $150–$250 extra every year in energy costs that proper attic insulation would eliminate. It also means top-floor bedrooms running 5–8°C colder than the rest of the house in January. and the heating bill to match. The longer attic insulation in North York goes unaddressed, the more of that cost compounds. Year after year, month after month.

Very courteous and professional
I got inspector John's number from my friend who have had his service before. He responsed very quickly, called me the same date, and came visit my house the next day. He was very courteous and professional, checked many places in my house and dignosed where the problems are coming from, turns out I only had less than 7" of the insulation on my attic, and its unevenly distributed everywhere, even saw..

Increased to 21 inches
I had my attic insulation increased to 21 inches last weekend. I was skeptical at first when Jakey told me about the numberous benefits of increased attic insulation. Right now, I think the upper rooms feels much warmer and the furnace seems to be running less as well.

Location of Residential Insulation
Essential for energy efficiency, attic insulation reduces heat loss, lowers utility bills, and maintains a comfortable home environment year-round.
Wall Insulation
Crucial for thermal regulation, wall insulation minimizes energy transfer, enhances indoor comfort, and reduces heating and cooling costs.
Floor Insulation
Floor insulation is key for maintaining consistent temperatures, reducing noise, and preventing heat loss, especially in homes with exposed underfloor areas.
Ceiling Insulation
Ceiling insulation plays a vital role in retaining heat within living spaces, reducing energy consumption, and improving overall home comfort.
Insulating basements is essential for moisture control, temperature stability, and energy efficiency, particularly in homes with below-ground living areas.
House Insulation Types
Insulation materials, including blown-in, foam board, batt, roll, spray foam, and radiant barriers, significantly enhance energy efficiency and comfort in buildings.
Blown-In Insulation
Blown-in insulation, also known as loose-fill insulation, is made of small particles of fiber, foam, or other materials. It's ideal for adding insulation to existing finished areas, irregularly shaped areas, and around obstructions. This type is typically applied using a special blowing device and is perfect for attics and wall cavities.
Batt Insulation
Batt insulation consists of pre-cut panels of fiberglass or mineral wool insulation. It's commonly used in spaces with standard spacing between joists and studs, such as walls, floors, and ceilings. Easy to handle and install, it's a popular choice for DIY projects and offers effective thermal and acoustic insulation.
Roll Insulation
Similar to batt insulation but available in long rolls, roll insulation can be cut and trimmed to fit various spaces. Made primarily of fiberglass, it's suitable for large areas without obstructions, like floors and ceilings. Roll insulation is a cost-effective solution for covering large areas quickly.
Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam insulation is a liquid foam that expands and hardens upon application, creating a tight seal against air and moisture. It's excellent for sealing gaps, cracks, and voids, providing superior thermal insulation and air sealing. Available in open-cell and closed-cell varieties, it's ideal for a range of applications, including walls, roofs, and around windows and doors.
Foam Board Insulation
Foam board insulation is a rigid panel used to insulate walls, floors, and ceilings. Made from polystyrene, polyisocyanurate, or polyurethane, it provides high insulation value with minimal thickness. Ideal for reducing heat conduction through structural elements like wood and steel studs, it's often used in both new construction and retrofit projects.
Radiant Barrier Insulation
Radiant barrier insulation is designed to reflect heat rather than absorb it. Made from a reflective material like aluminum foil, it's typically installed in attics to reduce summer heat gain and lower cooling costs. This type of insulation is most effective in hot climates and works by reflecting radiant heat away from the living space.

North York Attic Insulation FAQ
Yes. North York has one of the highest rebate eligibility rates in the GTA due to its large stock of 1950s–1970s homes with significantly under-insulated attics. Most detached, semi-detached, and row townhomes in North York qualify for the full $3,100 HRS rebate.
The easiest way is to book our free assessment. Our inspector will enter your attic, measure the current depth and R-value, and give you an honest recommendation. Generally, if your attic floor joists are visible or nearly visible, you likely have less than R-20 and need an upgrade.
Both achieve excellent R-60 results in North York's climate. Blown-in cellulose (made from recycled paper) is slightly denser and performs marginally better in air sealing; blown-in fiberglass is moisture-resistant and slightly lighter. Our inspector will recommend the best material based on your specific attic conditions and any existing moisture concerns.
Most North York homes are completed in one day. Bungalows with large attic areas or homes requiring old insulation removal may take two days.
Larger attics do require more material, so the total project cost will be higher. However, they also attract a higher rebate amount, and more insulation means greater annual energy savings. Our pricing is transparent at $0.99/sqft and up, and we'll give you the exact quote before any work begins.
We service detached, semi-detached, and row townhomes. Condo attic spaces are typically the responsibility of the condo corporation, so individual unit owners generally don't qualify for attic insulation services or the HRS rebate. Please contact us and we can advise based on your specific situation.
