We believe in the motto: "Take care of your attic, and it will take care of you!”

Dig a little deeper into the subject and the numbers are convincing: modern attic insulation can save you anywhere from 10 to 50% on your energy bills so the best time to upgrade that area of your home is, well, now.

Your attic might play host to spiders, dust, and old storage boxes but bringing your attic insulation up to modern standards and code is critical as it forms a protective layer between your cozy home space and the elements outside. Air will travel so good insulation keeps cool air inside in the summer and stops heat from escaping in the winter. This means your HVAC system is working more efficiently through all seasons, prolonging its life. Tack on the fact that good insulation can deter pests as well as air pollutants, dust, dirt, and allergens and it’s a winning situation.

It's never been easier to complete an attic insulation upgrade thanks to energy rebates via Fortis BC and BC Hydro’s Home Renovation Rebate Program (HRRP). Okanagan Insulation Services (OKI) are licensed contractors for the program and homeowners could save up to $5,500 in insulation upgrades. Combine that with a $5,600 rebate through a Canada Greener Homes Grant or the CleanBC Income Qualified Rebate Program and you can save a bundle en route to a more energy-efficient home.

There are criteria for homeowners to be aware of: your home must be your primary residence and at least 12 months old, a licensed contractor of the rebates must be used, and batt, loose fill, board and spray foam are the eligible insulation types.

It’s simple: those energy bills will arrive every month so there’s no time like now to create a happy attic and start saving money!
