Getting insulation right in New Brunswick
The first tip comes from the program’s own steps. Each program’s rules come first.
- How Total Home works in N.B.
- Register online or call 1-800-663-6272 and choose a service organization. Pay the $99 + HST fee to the energy advisor at the initial evaluation (it covers both visits).
- Start with the attic
- Attics are usually the cheapest place to add insulation and often have the fastest payback.
- Seal before you insulate
- Air-seal the attic floor, top plates and penetrations first. Insulation slows heat; it doesn't stop air leaks.
- Keep the paperwork
- Rebates are often based on the area and R-value added. Ask for invoices that list both, and photos before and after.
