Asbestos Removal
Purpose/Benefits
Purpose
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used in building materials for insulation, fireproofing, and soundproofing until its health hazards were recognized. When asbestos fibers are inhaled, they can become lodged in the lungs and cause a range of serious health problems. Asbestos use has been banned or severely restricted in many countries, but it remains present in many older buildings and materials, so proper handling and disposal procedures are necessary to minimize exposure.
Risks of no insulation
– Moisture damage
– Ice Dams
– Frozen pipes
– Air quality
Benefits
+ Insulation maximizes natural resources and minimizes energy waste.
+ Save up to 20% on energy bills with proper attic insulation.
+ 40% of home heating cost is from air leaking into your home.
+ Prevents moistures from entering and causing mold growth.
+ Benefits the environment by reducing carbon footprint
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this reduce my heating cost?
Owens Corning studies show that energy costs will be significantly reduced. Refer to www.owenscorning.ca for further details.
How am I helping the environment?
Bringing your attic up to the Owens Corning recommended standard will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 1/2 ton per year every year!
What is my home’s Energy Rating?
There is a proposal to ensure that all resale homes have an energy audit to provide an energy rating to that home before it is sold. This allows purchasers to compare the cost and energy efficiency of different homes before they buy. Bringing your attic insulation up to the Owens Corning recommended standard is an easy and inexpensive way to increase your home’s energy rating and value.
What's an R-value?
Insulation is rated and labeled using an R-value, and is measured based on two factors: the thickness of the material and how effectively it limits heat transfer. The higher the R-value the better your home will withstand energy loss. To be eligible for GreenON Rebates, look for a minimum rating of 20 for basement and exterior wall insulation, and 50 for attic insulation.
