Winter is Coming!

tips to help reduce winter energy costsLiving in southwestern Ontario we are lucky to have relatively mild winters compared to a lot of our country, but it might not surprise you to learn that a study has shown that Ontarians have the highest energy costs in Canada.

Are you still recovering from last winter’s high heating bills?

Is your unfinished basement significantly colder than the rest of your home?

Are you dreading the cold feeling in your home’s floors?

Concerned about freezing pipes?

We have solutions to help reduce your year-round energy costs and improve the health and comfort of your home.

Homes with unfinished basements:

An unfinished basement can cause all kinds of problems for a home's energy efficiency and comfort, and we know that not all homeowners want to finish their basement.

We have the solution with our ThermalDry® Wall system. This radiant barrier ensures that the heat stays in your home. The heat-reflective surface bounces 97% of the heat back into your home; improving energy efficiency and keeping your home more comfortable – and saving you a bundle!

Homes with crawl spaces:

Consider our solution to permanently solve your home’s cold weather challenges. We don’t just winterize crawl space pipes or vents; instead, we seal and winterize your entire crawl space and foundation with this three-step process:

  1. Seal and insulate the rim joist – This prevents frigid air from leaking in by sealing gaps around the perimeter of your foundation.
  2. Insulate crawl space walls with rigid foam or spray foam - Unlike traditional fibreglass insulation, our high-performance insulating products do what fibreglass can’t; it stops air leaks, never loses R-value, and can’t be damaged by moisture.
  3. Seal and insulate the crawl space floor – We offer specialized, flexible foam insulation which is then covered with our super durable vapour barrier to complete the sealing process.

There’s no need to dread the onset of winter – act now to ensure your home comfort and reduced energy costs. To learn more about our products or to schedule your free in-home estimate, please reach out to us: 1-866-277-1277
