// Burnaby Insulation Services

Burnaby's diverse housing stock ranges from 1950s bungalows in the Heights to modern townhomes in Brentwood and Metrotown. Many older Burnaby homes were built with minimal insulation by today's standards, and decades of settling has reduced their thermal performance even further. The city's elevation changes also mean that hilltop neighborhoods like Capitol Hill and Burnaby Mountain experience colder winter temperatures and more wind exposure than the lowlands, making adequate attic insulation even more critical.

// Why Insulation Matters in Burnaby

LOCAL FACTS

01

Burnaby Mountain homes sit at elevations up to 370m, experiencing temperatures 2-3 degrees colder than sea-level neighborhoods, increasing heating demand significantly.

02

Many 1950s-60s Burnaby bungalows were built with only 3-4 inches of fiberglass batts, providing R-10 or less compared to the R-50 recommended today.

03

Burnaby has set a target to reduce community greenhouse gas emissions 45% by 2030, and home insulation upgrades are identified as a key residential strategy.

Burnaby Insulation FAQ

How much does attic insulation cost in Burnaby?
The cost of attic insulation in Burnaby depends on the size of your attic, the current condition, and the R-value target. For a typical 1,200-1,500 sq ft attic upgraded to R-50 or R-60, expect to invest $3,000-$6,000 before rebates. With BC Hydro and FortisBC rebates, many Burnaby homeowners save $750-$2,000 or more off the total cost.
What R-value do I need for my Burnaby home?
For Burnaby and the Lower Mainland (Climate Zone 4), we recommend R-50 to R-60 for attic insulation. This provides optimal thermal performance for our climate and qualifies for the maximum available rebates. Many older Burnaby homes currently have R-12 to R-20, meaning an upgrade to R-50+ can reduce heat loss through the attic by 60-80%.
Do you remove old insulation before installing new insulation in Burnaby?
It depends on the condition of your existing insulation. If it is contaminated by pests, mold, or moisture damage, we recommend full removal before installing new insulation. If the existing insulation is in good condition, we can often add blown-in insulation on top to reach the target R-value. Our free inspection will determine the best approach for your Burnaby home.
What rebates are available for Burnaby homeowners?
Burnaby homeowners can access rebates from BC Hydro (up to $5,500 for insulation), FortisBC ($0.50-$0.90 per square foot based on R-value improvement), and CleanBC programs. A typical Burnaby home can receive $750-$2,000 in combined rebates. We handle all the paperwork and guide you through the application process.
How long does an attic insulation job take in Burnaby?
Most attic insulation jobs in Burnaby are completed in a single day. A straightforward blown-in insulation installation over existing insulation typically takes 3-5 hours. If removal of old insulation is needed first, the project may take 1-2 days depending on the attic size and condition. We always provide a clear timeline before starting work.
