Blown-In Insulation Installation

Blown-in insulation is the gold standard for attic upgrades. We install fiberglass and cellulose insulation to optimal R-values for BC's climate, helping you save energy, stay comfortable, and qualify for rebates. Serving the entire Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.

Why Blown-In Insulation Is Best for Attics

Blown-in insulation outperforms traditional batt insulation in attic applications. It fills every gap, contour, and cavity, creating a seamless thermal blanket with no seams or compressed spots where heat can escape.

Batt insulation leaves gaps around wiring, pipes, and framing. Those gaps create thermal bridges that significantly reduce your attic's overall insulation performance. Blown-in material conforms to every obstacle, delivering consistent R-value across the entire attic floor.

  • Seamless coverage with no gaps or thermal bridges
  • Conforms around wiring, pipes, and irregular framing
  • Faster installation with less disruption to your home
  • Qualifies for CleanBC, BC Hydro, and FortisBC rebates

Fiberglass vs Cellulose

Both materials deliver excellent thermal performance. We help you choose the right one based on your home's specific needs, budget, and goals.

Blown-In Fiberglass

Made from spun glass fibres, blown-in fiberglass is lightweight, non-combustible, and naturally moisture-resistant. It does not settle as much over time, maintaining its R-value for decades.

Fiberglass is our most popular choice for Lower Mainland attics. It resists moisture absorption in our wet climate, does not promote mold growth, and provides consistent long-term performance without degradation.

  • Non-combustible and moisture-resistant
  • Minimal settling over time
  • R-2.5 per inch (approximate)

Blown-In Cellulose

Made from recycled newsprint treated with fire retardants, cellulose is a dense, eco-friendly option. It packs tightly into cavities, providing excellent air-sealing properties along with thermal insulation.

Cellulose is an excellent choice for homeowners prioritizing environmental impact. Its density also provides modest sound dampening and naturally resists airflow through the insulation layer.

  • Made from 85% recycled content
  • Dense packing reduces air movement
  • R-3.5 per inch (approximate)

R-Value Targets for BC Homes

BC Building Code and rebate programs recommend specific R-values for attic insulation based on your climate zone. The Lower Mainland falls in Climate Zone 4, where the recommended attic insulation level is R-50 or higher.

Many existing homes in the Lower Mainland have attic insulation at R-12 to R-20, which is far below current standards. Upgrading to R-50 or above significantly reduces heat loss, lowers energy bills, and qualifies your home for the maximum rebate amounts.

We measure your existing insulation depth and R-value during the inspection, then install the precise amount of new insulation needed to hit your target. Every job includes depth markers so you can verify the installed R-value yourself.

How We Install Blown-In Insulation

A clean, efficient installation process that delivers consistent R-value across your entire attic.

1

Inspection & Plan

We measure your attic, assess existing insulation, identify air leaks, and determine the optimal R-value target for your home.

2

Prep & Air Seal

We install baffles at eaves to maintain ventilation, seal accessible air leaks, and protect recessed lighting with appropriate covers.

3

Blow & Level

Using professional blowing machines, we install insulation to a uniform depth across the entire attic, ensuring consistent R-value coverage.

4

Verify & Document

We place depth markers, verify R-value targets are met, clean up, and provide documentation for your rebate application.

Rebates for Insulation Upgrades

Blown-in insulation upgrades qualify for significant rebates through provincial and utility programs. We handle the paperwork.

Lower Mainland homeowners can save up to $5,500 through CleanBC, BC Hydro, and FortisBC rebates on insulation upgrades. See all rebate details
