Frequently Asked Questions
Can the walls of an older home be insulated?▾
Yes, but carefully: the wall must keep its ability to dry. A contractor experienced with older buildings assesses the assembly before proposing a method.
My attic has granular insulation. Is that risky?▾
If it was installed before the 1990s, have it tested before touching it. Some vermiculite contains asbestos.
What is the best first step?▾
Air sealing combined with attic insulation. That pair delivers the most comfort per dollar spent.
Are there support programs?▾
Yes, energy efficiency programs exist and change regularly. Check current conditions before starting work.
How do I verify a contractor is licensed?▾
Ask for the RBQ licence number and search the Régie du bâtiment du Québec public registry.
Insulation in Gatineau: what to know
Between the older homes of the Hull sector and the recent developments in Aylmer, insulation is not handled the same way.
In older housing
Walls with no insulation or settled insulation, thin attic coverage, many air leaks. Work is planned around the wall's ability to dry: adding insulation without thinking about moisture can do more harm than good.
Vermiculite
In an attic holding granular insulation installed before the 1990s, testing is required before any work. Some vermiculite contains asbestos.
In newer homes
Gains come mostly from air sealing and tuning the ventilation.
Licence
The contractor must hold a Régie du bâtiment du Québec licence, liability insurance and a CNESST clearance.
