Why Attic Insulation Matters
Reduces Heating and Cooling Bills
Prevents Ice Dams & Moister Problems
Prevents Ice Dams & Moister Problems
Attic insulation acts as a thermal barrier that slows the transfer of heat between your attic and living spaces.
- In Winter, it keeps warm air inside where it belongs
- In summer, it blocks heat coming from your attic radiating down into your home.
This means your furnace and AC don't have to work as hard, lowering energy use and utility bills

Poor or uneven insulation allows heat to escape through the roof, causing snow to melt unevenly and refreeze at the edges — forming ice dams.
- Proper attic insulation, combined with ventilation, keeps the roof surface cold and consistent, reducing melt-and-freeze cycles.
- It also reduces condensation risk in the attic by keeping
temperatures stable, which helps prevent mold, mildew, and rot.

Cool in Summer & Warm in Winter
Insulation slows down the flow of heat — in both directions.
- In winter, it stops warmth from escaping through your attic.
- In summer, it blocks the sun’s radiant heat from entering your living space.
That makes your home more stable and comfortable, with less temperature fluctuation.

Old or missing insulation can allow dust, mold spores, allergens, or even rodent waste from the attic to circulate through your home.
Upgrading or adding insulation:
- Seals gaps and reduces air leakage
- Helps prevent contaminants from spreading
- Creates a cleaner air barrier between the attic and living areas

In Alberta’s extreme climate, homes burn a lot of energy just to stay livable. — leading to higher emissions and wasted energy.
Upgrading your attic insulation helps:
- Reduce fossil fuel use for heating and cooling
- Lower greenhouse gas emissions from your home
- Ease demand on Alberta’s energy grid, especially during cold snaps and heatwaves
- Extend the life of your HVAC system by reducing strain

Energy efficiency is a major selling point.
- A properly insulated attic increases a home’s Energy Efficiency Rating, which appeals to buyers.
- It also signals well-maintained infrastructure, especially important in older Calgary homes.
- Many home inspectors and realtors consider attic insulation a value-adding upgrade.

Type of Attic Insulation We Use and Trust
Premium Fiberglass Loose-Fill Insulation
At SNUGG, we use fiberglass loose-fill insulation for attic upgrades because it’s safe, efficient, and long-lasting — exactly what Alberta homes need.
- Excellent Thermal Performance
Fiberglass traps air in tiny pockets, making it a powerful insulator - Non-Combustible & Moisture-Resistant
It won’t burn, easily absorb moisture, or support mold growth, making it a smart, safe choice for attics in Calgary’s climate - Low Settling & Long Lifespan
Unlike other materials, fiberglass holds its shape over time. That means it continues to perform year after year with little to no loss in R-value - Safe for Allergy-Sensitive Homes
We use formaldehyde-free, low-dust fiberglass that’s safe once installed — great for families with asthma or allergies - Made with Recycled Content
Our fiberglass insulation contains up to 50% recycled glass, helping reduce landfill waste while providing top-tier performance
