Why Lake Country homes need attic upgrades
Many of Lake Country’s homes in Oyama, Winfield, and Carr's Landing were built in the 1970s and 1980s. Attic insulation at the time typically ranged from R-12 to R-20, well below the R-50 or higher recommended for Lake Country's climate zone today, which is the benchmark for this climate zone.
Lake Country's location north of Kelowna means winters can run slightly colder than the city, with temperatures regularly below freezing from late October through March. An under-insulated attic loses heat in winter and gains it in summer. Typical homeowners see at least 10% savings on their home's energy costs after an attic upgrade, based on our project experience. See our blown-in insulation page for full material details.

Frequently asked questions about attic insulation in Lake Country
02
Is attic insulation worth it in Lake Country?
Yes. Lake Country's winters push temperatures consistently below freezing, and summers regularly top 30°C. An attic upgrade to R-50 or higher addresses both heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. Typical homeowners see at least 10% savings on energy costs after an upgrade.
03
Does attic insulation help with cooling costs in summer?
Yes. An under-insulated attic allows summer heat to transfer into your living space, increasing your cooling load. Upgrading to R-50 or higher significantly reduces summer heat gain.
04
How long does an attic insulation upgrade take in Lake Country?
Most standard Lake Country attic jobs are completed in a single day.
