Attic Insulation

We were referred to Affordable Insulation by Andre of Oakville Windows and Doors during a discussion about energy efficiency in homes without regard to his own business. We contacted Jason who quickly called back and we made arrangements for him to come over for an inspection and quote. During the inspection, Jason was more than happy to take some pictures for us to show us what we had above. He was very thorough in his explanation of insulation and how it affects the energy efficiency of our home. He was extremely knowledgeable and never pushy. We were looking for someone that not only could provide a reasonable quote, but more importantly, provide a quality job. We decided to go ahead with Affordable Insulation based on the referral from Andre and our conversation with Jason. We felt that if another contractor is willing to put his reputation on the line (and we had not yet purchased anything from Andre), then that was a good sign. They came as promised per our installation date. Although there was a bit of a delay for their arrival, Jason called us ahead of time to let us know of that fact. There was no need for us to chase them. When they arrived, Syd and Rod came in to perform the installation. They are highly competent and extremely careful of their surroundings. They are both completely professional and a joy to work with. They took their time to ensure the job was done right. Rod took some additional photos for us once he was fully in the attic. When they were completed, they made sure that we saw the results. You can see that they take pride in their workmanship and that comes out when they see their clients see the completed job. When they were finished, they cleaned up after themselves with no mess left behind

We waited for a while to post a review to see the difference pre and post insulation. The difference is amazing. Our front and rear rooms were usually cold and the furnace would cycle quite often. There was a noticeable temperature difference between our main floor and upstairs. After, the rooms are no longer cold. I was able to lower our thermostat 1 degree and the furnace does not cycle as often. The weather has recently turned hot on a few days where we turned on the a/c. The a/c also does not cycle as often. There is always a bit of skeptism whether you'll truly save on your energy bills but just these few facts makes me believe we made the right choice.

Approximate cost of services:
$1,700.00
What could this company do to improve their services?
Put a big company sign on your truck. It looks like a non-descript moving truck
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Keep in mind that the best price is not always the best job. You should look for a contractor that is willing to take their time rather than rush the job. Be prepared for the job to take 6 or so hours. Although they may offer, ask them to take pictures for you so you can see before and after. You will be amazed by what isn't there before that should have been.
