If you’re dealing with high energy bills and aren’t sure why, chances are your home is losing heat where it shouldn’t be — often through the attic, walls, or poorly insulated areas. At Advanced Insulation Systems, we’ll assess your home and identify the weak spots.

Attic top-ups are one of the most common and cost-effective fixes — especially in older homes that don’t meet today’s insulation standards.

Spray foam insulation is ideal for sealing up gaps and hard-to-reach areas, creating an airtight barrier that prevents heat loss and improves efficiency.

We’ll walk you through your options and recommend the best solution based on your home, your budget, and your goals — no pressure, just honest advice to help you save money and stay comfortable year-round.

One of our recent projects was a 1970s bungalow in Carleton Place that had sky-high heating bills and uneven temperatures from room to room. The homeowners weren’t sure where the problem was coming from, so we started with a full insulation assessment.

We discovered their attic insulation was well below current standards, and there were major air leaks around the rim joists and basement walls. We performed a full attic top-up with blown-in insulation and sealed the lower levels using closed-cell spray foam for maximum air-tightness.

Within a few weeks, the homeowners noticed their furnace running less often, rooms were more consistent in temperature, and they told us their next hydro bill dropped significantly.

What made them happiest? That we took the time to educate them, didn’t push unnecessary work, and left the home cleaner than when we arrived. They said it felt like they were living in a new house — and that’s what we aim for every time.
