Before:
Many homes were built using fiberglass batt insulation in the attic. It does add insulation R value but not to the recommended amount for Ontario weather. Adding more insulation on top of the old may not give you the results you need to keep the home comfortable. A continuous vapour barrier under the insulation is a vital component to keep warm air in and cold air out.
After:
Advanced Basement Systems will remove old insulation, then seal all openings in the vapour barrier before adding the required amount of blown in cellulose. 17 inches of cellulose blown in insulation is the recommended amount to bring the R-value up to R60.
If your home has wide temperature swings or the HVAC systems runs often, this could be a sign of attic insulation issues.
