How we approach it
A lot of heat leaves older Nova Scotia homes through the attic hatch, rim joists and leaky window trim. We tackle those first, then talk about bigger upgrades. Ask us about available rebates — programs and eligibility change, so we'll point you to what's current.
Scope, step by step
Look for leaks
Walk-through to find obvious air leaks and thin insulation; we can work alongside an energy advisor's report if you have one.
Air seal
Seal top plates, penetrations, attic hatch and rim joists before adding insulation.
Insulate
Blown-in or batt insulation to the agreed depth, baffles to keep soffit vents open.

Questions about energy upgrades
Are there rebates for insulation?
There are often programs for energy upgrades, but they change. Ask us about available rebates and we'll point you to the current program pages — eligibility is decided by the program, not by us.
Will insulating cause moisture problems?
Not when air sealing and ventilation are done properly. That's why we seal first and keep soffit vents clear.
