Why Scarborough Homeowners Trust Canada Energy Solution for Attic Insulation
Most Scarborough homes built in the 1960s and 1970s still have original fibreglass batt insulation that has compressed and lost its effectiveness over the decades. Combined with the area's eastern lakefront exposure to lake-effect snow and humidity, under-insulated attics can waste 30–40% of your heating energy every winter. Canada Energy Solution has helped over 15,000 GTA families upgrade to Owens Corning certified blown-in insulation that meets R-60 standards. From bungalows along Kingston Road to townhomes in Woburn, Scarborough homeowners are saving on energy bills and staying comfortable year-round.

Scarborough Attic Insulation FAQ
Yes. Scarborough's post-war bungalows are among the most rebate-eligible homes in Toronto. Most detached and semi-detached homes built before 1980 in Scarborough have insulation levels of R-8 to R-20, well below the R-50 minimum required for HRS eligibility. Canada Energy Solution is a certified approved contractor for the program.
Scarborough post-war bungalows typically save $600–$1,200 per year after upgrading to R-60. The larger your attic and the lower your current insulation level, the more you'll save. Homes near the Bluffs often save more due to higher wind exposure.
Homes from the 1950s in Scarborough typically have original rock wool or early fibreglass batts at R-8 to R-12. This insulation has been degrading for 60–70 years and is a fraction of what Ontario now requires. Upgrading to R-60 blown-in insulation can cut your heating bills dramatically and qualify you for the full HRS rebate.
Yes. We serve all Scarborough neighbourhoods including Agincourt, Wexford, Birchcliffe, Cliffside, Guildwood, West Hill, the Kingston Road corridor, Malvern, Rouge, Centennial Scarborough, and Birchmount Park.
Most Scarborough bungalows are completed in a single day, typically 4–6 hours. Our crew arrives in the morning, completes the insulation, and cleans up fully before leaving. You can be home or at work during the installation.
Many Scarborough homeowners with severely under-insulated attics (common in 1950s–1960s bungalows) receive enough in HRS rebates to cover 80–100% of their project cost. We'll give you the exact numbers during your free assessment.
How Much Does Attic Insulation Cost in Scarborough?
What Affects the Price in Scarborough?
Scarborough's post-war bungalow stock is among the most cost-effective to upgrade in the GTA. these homes have large, open attic spaces that are easy to access and insulate efficiently. Starting at $0.99/sqft, pricing is transparent and straightforward.
- Attic size: Scarborough bungalows typically have 900–1,400 sqft of attic space, larger than average Toronto homes, meaning more savings per square foot
- Existing insulation level: 1950s–1960s Scarborough bungalows commonly have R-8 to R-15. among the lowest in the GTA, making them excellent rebate candidates
- Material choice: Blown-in cellulose or fiberglass are our standard recommendations for Scarborough attics
- Proximity to the Bluffs: Homes near Scarborough Bluffs experience additional wind exposure and benefit significantly from R-60 insulation
- Moisture assessment: Older Scarborough homes near ravines sometimes show soffit moisture issues that are addressed before insulation is applied
After Ontario HRS rebates, most Scarborough homeowners receive their full out-of-pocket investment back within the first two heating seasons.

Attic Insulation in Scarborough: Starting from $0.99/sqft
Scarborough's post-war bungalows in Agincourt, Birchcliffe, Wexford, and Guildwood were some of the best-built homes of their era. But "well-built in 1960" and "properly insulated by today's standards" are two very different things.
Most Scarborough homes from that era have R-10 to R-20 in the attic. The Ontario minimum is now R-50. That 30+ point gap means your home is shedding heat through the ceiling all winter and baking in summer, costing you hundreds of dollars in energy waste every year, money you're spending with absolutely nothing to show for it. attic insulation in Scarborough that doesn't meet today's standard is one of the most expensive problems a homeowner can ignore.
Canada Energy Solution has been the trusted choice for East Toronto homeowners for over 20 years. We've worked throughout Scarborough, from the Bluffs-area homes in Birchcliffe to the dense bungalow streets of Agincourt to the newer builds in Malvern and Morningside. As an Owens Corning certified contractor with a 4.9 Google rating, we upgrade your attic to R-60 and guarantee rebate approval for qualifying homes, including handling all the blown-in insulation paperwork.
Qualifying Scarborough homeowners get up to $3,100 in HRS rebates: but 2026 program spots are limited. Call (647) 812-5200 for your free Scarborough attic insulation assessment within 24 hours.
Canada Energy Solution - Ontario’s top trusted heating and cooling specialist for over a decade
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.

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..
- Keyvan Mosharraf -
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.
