    What Insulation Services Do We Offer in Charlottetown?

    Greenfoot provides spray foam, blown-in, batt, and soundproofing insulation for Charlottetown homes, covering attics, walls, basements, and crawl spaces.

    Our team of experts offers a wide range of insulation services to meet your specific needs — from thermal performance to acoustic comfort.

    Spray Foam Insulation

    R-6 to R-7 per inch (closed-cell)

    Closed-cell and open-cell spray foam provides superior air sealing and the highest R-value per inch. Creates a seamless vapor barrier that eliminates drafts and moisture intrusion.

    Best for: Basements, crawl spaces, rim joists, exterior walls, and areas requiring air sealing and moisture barrier

    Blown-In Insulation

    R-3.2 to R-3.8 per inch

    Loose-fill cellulose or fiberglass blown into attics, walls, and enclosed cavities. Fills irregular spaces and gaps that batt insulation misses, providing excellent coverage.

    Best for: Attics, enclosed wall cavities, hard-to-reach spaces, and topping up existing insulation

    Batt & Poly Insulation

    R-3.1 to R-4.2 per inch

    Traditional fiberglass or mineral wool batts with poly vapor barrier. Cost-effective for new construction and accessible renovation projects with standard stud spacing.

    Best for: New construction walls, accessible attics, floor assemblies, and renovation projects with open stud bays

    Soundproofing Insulation

    STC 45-65 rating

    Specialized acoustic insulation to reduce noise transmission between rooms, floors, and from exterior sources. Mineral wool and resilient channel systems for maximum sound control.

    Best for: Shared walls, home offices, media rooms, bedrooms above living spaces, and exterior noise reduction

    Why Do Charlottetown Homes Need Better Insulation?

    Charlottetown's cold winters and humid summers create unique insulation challenges, and upgrading can reduce heating costs by 30 to 50% while preventing moisture damage.

    Prince Edward Island's compact geography means every home is exposed to ocean wind influence. Charlottetown's mix of heritage downtown properties and modern suburban developments all benefit from comprehensive insulation upgrades to combat persistent wind and maritime cold.

    Charlottetown's Insulation Challenges

    Persistent Island winds increase heat loss through walls by up to 30% compared to sheltered locations

    Heritage homes in downtown Charlottetown have minimal insulation and significant air infiltration

    Ocean humidity creates condensation challenges in wall cavities of poorly insulated homes

    Airport and harbour traffic noise requires soundproofing for homes in east-end Charlottetown

    How Greenfoot Insulation Helps

    Spray foam creates a wind-tight barrier that stops persistent PEI ocean drafts at the source

    Blown-in attic insulation achieves R-50 in heritage homes without disturbing plaster ceilings

    Batt insulation with poly vapor barrier prevents moisture damage in accessible wall cavities

    Soundproofing provides peaceful living spaces in homes near the airport and harbour areas

    • Be present for a pre-installation walkthrough on installation day

    What Do Charlottetown Homeowners Ask About Insulation?

    Below are expert answers to the most common insulation questions from Charlottetown homeowners, covering costs, types, R-values, and rebates.

    Common questions about insulation services in Charlottetown, PEI

    What types of insulation does Greenfoot install in Charlottetown?
    We install four types of insulation in Charlottetown: spray foam (open-cell and closed-cell), blown-in cellulose and fiberglass, batt & poly insulation, and soundproofing insulation. Our Home Comfort Advisor recommends the right combination based on your home's specific needs, construction type, and budget.
    What R-value insulation does my Charlottetown home need?
    Charlottetown is in Climate Zone 6, which requires R-50 attic, R-22 walls for optimal energy efficiency. The right R-value depends on the area being insulated — attics need the highest R-value, while walls and basements have different requirements. Our free assessment determines exactly what your Charlottetown home needs.
    How much can I save on Maritime Electric bills with better insulation in Charlottetown?
    Charlottetown homeowners with Maritime Electric service typically see meaningful reductions in heating costs after insulation upgrades. The exact savings depend on your current insulation levels, heating system, and home size. Homes with Victorian heritage homes, post-war bungalows, and modern subdivisions often see the biggest improvements. Contact us for a free assessment and personalized estimate.
    Which areas of my Charlottetown home should be insulated first?
    Priority areas include attics (the biggest source of heat loss), followed by basements and crawl spaces, exterior walls, and then interior walls for soundproofing. In Charlottetown's Zone 6 climate, persistent ocean winds and maritime humidity create drafts and condensation in island homes year-round, so addressing moisture-prone areas with spray foam is often the first recommendation.
    How long does insulation installation take in Charlottetown?
    Most residential insulation projects in Charlottetown are completed in 1-3 days depending on the scope. A single-area project like attic blown-in takes 4-8 hours. Multi-area projects combining spray foam, blown-in, and batt may take 2-3 days. Note: for spray foam applications, you'll need to vacate the home for 24 hours after application.
    Can soundproofing insulation reduce noise in my Charlottetown home?
    Yes — our soundproofing insulation significantly reduces noise transmission between rooms, floors, and from exterior sources. We use mineral wool and resilient channel systems to achieve STC ratings of 45-65, which dramatically reduces sound transfer. This is popular in Charlottetown for home offices, bedrooms, media rooms, and homes near busy roads.
    How does PEI's wind exposure affect insulation needs for Charlottetown homes?
    Charlottetown's island location means persistent ocean winds that increase heat loss through walls by up to 30%. Proper insulation with spray foam air sealing creates a wind-tight barrier that stops drafts at the source. This is particularly important for PEI homes where wind-driven cold infiltration is a major source of energy waste and discomfort.

    "I ONLY WISH THEY INSTALLED OUR HEAT PUMP ORIGINALLY"

    Great company to deal with. We hired them to move an existing heat pump after the original installer refused to help us. The estimator and the installer were both very polite, careful and thorough. I only wish they installed our heat pump originally. I would hire them again without hesitation.
