Insulation Installation
Professional Insulation Installation
Looking to save on energy bills or block out unwanted noise? Upgrading your insulation can do both—while also boosting your property's value. Over time, insulation naturally degrades, reducing its effectiveness. Rodents, moisture, or other issues can also damage or contaminate older insulation, leading to unpleasant odours, air leaks, and reduced performance. Additionally, modern insulation materials offer higher efficiency and better protection than those used in decades past.
At ProInsulate, we offer expert insulation installation services across Alberta and parts of British Columbia. Whether it's a residential or commercial project, our team provides professional assessments and tailored solutions using the latest products and installation techniques. Some methods involve minimal disruption, such as blown-in insulation, while others may require panel removal. In either case, our trained professionals ensure a safe, clean, and code-compliant installation. We also handle the removal of old insulation, which can pose health risks if contaminated by mould, rodent waste, or even asbestos.
Benefits of Installing New Insulation
Upgrading your insulation does more than just keep your building warm in the winter and cool in the summer—it improves comfort, safety, and efficiency.
Benefits include:● Lower monthly energy bills through better heat retention
● Improved indoor comfort by minimizing temperature swings and drafts
● Noise reduction from both interior and exterior sources
● Enhanced indoor air quality by removing contaminated insulation
● Protection against mould and mildew buildup
● Increased property value and energy efficiency ratings
A new insulation installation is an investment in comfort and savings. Whether you're in an older home or a commercial space with outdated materials, modern insulation provides long-term benefits that pay for themselves over time.
Installing an Adequate Amount of Insulation
How much insulation your building needs depends on location, climate zone, and the specific area being insulated.
Applications include:● Attic and ceiling insulation (usually requiring higher R-values)
● Wall cavities in both interior and exterior walls
● Crawl spaces and basements
● Floor insulation above unheated spaces
● Commercial building envelope upgrades
In Alberta, current recommendations are typically R22 for walls and R60 for attics—but these values can change over time. An insulation upgrade ensures your property meets or exceeds local standards. ProInsulate can assess your existing R-values and recommend the right amount of insulation for optimal performance and compliance.
Types of Insulation We Install
We offer a range of insulation types tailored to your building's needs and budget. Each has unique benefits:
Spray Foam Insulation● Provides an airtight, water-resistant seal
● Expands to fill cracks and irregular shapes
● Available in open-cell (affordable, soundproofing) and closed-cell (higher R-value, moisture barrier)
Blown-In Insulation● Loose-fill material blown into walls or attics
● Made from cellulose, fibreglass, or Rockwool
● Affordable and efficient, but may settle over time
Fibreglass Batt Insulation● Common in new builds or DIY installations
● Cut-to-fit batts placed between studs or joists
● Easy to install, but lacks an airtight seal and poses health hazards if disturbed
Each insulation type has its pros and cons. A professional assessment from ProInsulate ensures you get the best product for your building's layout, goals, and budget.
Insulation Installation FAQs
Is my current insulation a health risk?
If you live in an older home, it is possible that your insulation could have asbestos, or it has become contaminated with mold or rodent droppings. In Canada before 1990, asbestos was used in home construction. While asbestos is generally safe when intact and undisturbed, damaged or exposed asbestos can pose a health risk. A professional assessment is needed to know for sure.
I would like spray foam insulation but am concerned about the cost.
While spray foam is more costly than other methods it is an excellent insulator with a long lifespan. Spray foam insulation may increase the value of your home or business and save you money in the future with better energy efficiency.
Are vapor barriers needed with spray foam insulation?
Closed-cell spray foam typically doesn’t need an added vapor barrier. Open-cell spray foam is less resistant to water vapor and often needs an extra layer of vapor protection.
