Residential Insulation
Most houses in Central Alberta were not built for the winter they actually get. Red Deer sits in Climate Zone 7A — 5,550 heating degree days a year, with a design temperature of −32 °C — and a large share of the housing stock predates 1980, when the code asked far less of a wall than it does now. These guides deal with what that means in practice: the cold floor over an unheated crawl space, the frost on the inside of a rim joist, the attic that costs more to heat every year than it did the last. What each one costs to fix depends on the building, so you will not find a price here. You will find what to look at first.

Spray Foam Insulation Can Prevent Indoor Damp Walls
Summer condensation on interior walls comes from warm, humid air meeting cool surfaces. Spray foam insulation helps by regulating those surface temperatures and sealing the gaps moisture rides in on.
