The Lower Mainland’s climate—wet, chilly winters and increasingly warm summers—can make keeping your home comfortable a costly challenge. At Whonnock Roofing, a family-owned business since 1978, we’ve launched our new Insulation Division to help homeowners in Vancouver, Surrey, Abbotsford, and beyond save money and stay cozy. Here’s why an insulation upgrade is a smart move for your Lower Mainland home.
1. Stay Warm in Winter, Cool in Summer:
Winters in the Lower Mainland, with January temperatures averaging 3°C to 7°C, feel even colder due to humidity and wind chill. Poor insulation lets heat escape—up to 25% through the attic, per Natural Resources Canada—driving up heating costs. Summers, with heatwaves hitting the high 20s or low 30s, turn poorly insulated attics into heat traps, spiking cooling bills. Upgrading to R-80 insulation with our AttiCat Expanding Blown-In Insulation System keeps your home warm in winter and cool in summer, all while maintaining optimal airflow with Raft-R-Mate vents.
2. Cut Energy Bills by Up to 20%:
Energy costs in B.C. are rising, but upgrading your attic insulation to R-80 can slash heating and cooling costs by up to 20%, according to Owens Corning. That’s hundreds of dollars in annual savings for the average Lower Mainland household. Our PINK FIBERGLAS Insulation, installed in just 2–3 hours, doesn’t settle, ensuring long-term efficiency.
3. Protect Against Moisture Damage:
The Lower Mainland’s high humidity and frequent rain can lead to mold, mildew, and structural damage if your attic traps damp air. Our PINK FIBERGLAS Insulation is moisture-resistant and non-combustible, keeping your attic dry and healthy when paired with proper ventilation.
4. Boost Home Value and Comfort:
A well-insulated home is a major selling point in the Lower Mainland’s competitive real estate market. Energy efficiency matters to buyers, and an R-80 rating can set your property apart. Plus, you’ll enjoy consistent temperatures year-round—no more drafty winters or swelteringly unbearable summers.
5. Hassle-Free Installation:
Whonnock Roofing makes insulation upgrades easy. We access your attic through the roof via a roof protrusion, leaving your home spotless. Need a new roof? We can bundle the services, upgrading your insulation and roof in one go, saving you time and money. Our AttiCat system uses less material than cellulose, making the process efficient and eco-friendly.
6. Support a Local, Family-Owned Business:
As a third-generation Lower Mainland company, we know B.C. homes. Our Canadian-made insulation and personalized service ensure your home is ready for the region’s unique climate. When you choose Whonnock Roofing, you’re supporting a local business with deep roots in the community.
