Cold floors and higher-than-expected heating bills in older Kelowna homes almost always trace back to an uninsulated crawlspace. We install closed-cell spray foam crawlspace insulation in Kelowna homes, delivering complete coverage with no gaps and no settling, and have been since 1973.

What every Kelowna crawlspace insulation job includes
Why spray foam outperforms fibreglass batts in a Kelowna crawlspace
Fibreglass batt insulation between floor joists doesn't stop air movement; it only slows heat transfer through the material itself. In Kelowna's climate, with temperatures ranging from -7°C to -9°C in winter to above 30°C in summer, the constant expansion and contraction of wood compresses batts over time and opens new gaps around them. Within a few years, much of their thermal value is gone.
Closed-cell spray foam works differently. Applied to the crawlspace walls or ceiling, it creates a continuous insulated and air-sealed surface with no gaps. We use a closed-cell spray polyurethane foam chosen for its proven durability and thermal performance. "We use only high-quality materials so we can confidently stand behind our work," says Josh Meyer, President of Okanagan Insulation Services.
It also resists mold growth and eliminates the entry points rodents use to access crawlspaces, an additional benefit in older Kelowna homes. More on the materials: spray foam insulation page.
Home Renovation Rebate Program (HRRP): BC Hydro and FortisBC's joint program includes rebates for crawlspace and floor insulation upgrades. Open to homeowners at any income level with a BC Hydro or FortisBC account, with eligible insulation upgrades covered up to $5,800 in total rebates.

The Meyer family has been serving the Central Okanagan for more than 50 years. We know the housing stock and the crawlspace conditions that come with it.
As a registered Home Performance Contractor Network member, we unlock rebates for our customers. Not every insulation contractor holds registration with all three programs.
We come to your home, assess the crawlspace, and give you a clear, itemized quote before any work begins. No obligation. Learn more about our approach on our Why Choose Us page.
Cold floors are almost always caused by an uninsulated crawlspace below. Cold air in the crawlspace moves upward through gaps in the subfloor into your living space; your heating system compensates but never fully overcomes the infiltration. Insulating the crawlspace eliminates the problem at the source.
Closed-cell spray foam is the most effective option for Kelowna crawlspaces. Unlike fibreglass batts, it delivers continuous coverage with no air infiltration pathways, resists mold growth, and holds its R-value for the life of the home, which is important given Kelowna's seasonal temperature swings.
The clearest signs are cold floors and higher-than-expected heating bills. Others include visible condensation or mold in the crawlspace, a musty smell in the home, or evidence of rodent activity. Most Kelowna homes built before 1990 have either no crawlspace insulation or degraded material that has lost its value.
Yes. Properly insulating the crawlspace reduces the temperature differentials that generate condensation and moisture buildup, a common source of mould and wood rot in older Kelowna crawlspaces.
Cost varies depending on the size of the crawlspace and its current condition. We provide free, no-obligation estimates with exact pricing before any work starts. Eligible homeowners can also access rebates through BC Hydro, FortisBC, and CleanBC to offset the cost.
Most standard Kelowna crawlspace jobs are completed in a single day.
