Older bungalows
Many older Edmonton bungalows still have wood chips or vermiculite in the attic. Wood chips can come out with our vacuum gear. Vermiculite may contain asbestos and has to be tested before anyone touches it.

Edmonton winters
What a -30 January does to a house
Edmonton gets long cold stretches. A week in the -30s is normal in January, and the house leaks heat the whole time. A big share of that loss is air leakage: warm air pushing out through the attic hatch, pot lights and plumbing stacks, cold air pulled in at the rim joist.
The rim joist is where people notice it first. It's the band of framing that sits on top of the foundation, and in a lot of basements it has a loose batt jammed against it, or nothing. Warm, damp basement air reaches the cold wood and you get frost on it by mid-winter, then water stains in spring.
Closed cell spray foam fixes that in one pass. It insulates, seals the air path and works as the vapour barrier at two inches or more. Our spray foam insulation in Edmonton page covers rim joists, basements and garages in more detail.
Edmonton housing
The houses we see most
Edmonton homes fall into a few groups, each with its own usual problem.
1970s and 80s homes
These usually have some attic insulation, just not much, and it has settled over the decades. A blown-in top-up to R-50 is often the cheapest upgrade in the house.
New builds
In the growing suburbs we spray walls, bonus rooms over garages and vaulted ceilings during construction, before the drywall goes up.
Shops and garages
Detached garages and heated shops get closed cell on the walls and roof deck so the heater isn't running all day.
For attics specifically, see attic insulation in Edmonton. For everything else we install, the insulation services page lists each type.
CEIP
Pay for it through your property taxes
Edmonton takes part in the Clean Energy Improvement Program, and Aires is a Qualified Contractor listed on the official CEIP directory. You can finance eligible upgrades and pay them back on your property tax bill over up to 25 years. If you sell, the balance stays with the house.
Residential projects need at least three qualifying upgrades unless the home reaches net zero. For insulation, attics have to reach at least R-50, and basement walls need at least R-12 added. One customer told us we "made getting the rebate a really simple process." The CEIP financing page has the full step list.

What people say after
Word for word, from reviews left for Aires.
I recently hired Aires spray foam to do some rim joist in my new property, and I was extremely satisfied with their service. The job was done very thoroughly and completed on time.
Used them for Attic insulation service. They also fixed the vents in the attic. They were fast, efficient, professional and responsive.
It was quick and done properly and they were really easy to work with. They were cheaper than me doing the job myself and made getting the rebate a really simple process as well.
Other work we do in Edmonton
The same crew handles two related trades. We apply fireproofing: DC315 thermal barrier over exposed foam in shops and Quonsets, and cementitious fireproofing on structural steel. We also do concrete lifting, injecting polyurethane foam under sunken driveways, sidewalks and garage slabs to raise them back to grade. Freeze and thaw moves a lot of concrete here, and lifting costs less than tearing it out.

FAQ
Questions we get asked
How much does insulation cost in Edmonton?
It depends on the space, the material and the depth. Spray foam is priced by the board foot, attics by area and target R-value. We measure on site in Edmonton and give you a free written quote.
Can you insulate in an Edmonton winter?
Yes. Attic blow-ins and most interior spray foam work go ahead through the winter. Spray foam needs warm surfaces to stick and cure, so if the space is unheated we'll talk about bringing in heat before we book.
Do you test for vermiculite before removing attic insulation?
Vermiculite in older homes can contain asbestos, so it needs testing before anyone disturbs it. If we see it during the walkthrough, we stop and tell you to get it tested before any removal is planned.
Do you serve St. Albert and Sherwood Park?
Yes. Our Edmonton team serves St. Albert, Sherwood Park and nearby communities. Call or message with the scope and we will reply within 24 hours.
Can I use CEIP to pay for insulation in Edmonton?
Yes, if the project qualifies. Edmonton runs CEIP and Aires is a Qualified Contractor, so eligible insulation can be repaid on your property tax bill over up to 25 years.
