Mon isolation devrait-il détenir une assurance ?
Bien que cela ne soit pas exigé par la loi, il est fortement recommandé que les isolations détiennent une assurance responsabilité. Demandez une preuve de couverture avant d'embaucher.
Combien coûte un isolation en Ontario ?
Les tarifs habituels pour les isolations en Ontario varient de $50-$90/hour. Insulation type (blown-in cellulose, fibreglass batt, open-cell spray foam, closed-cell spray foam), area to be insulated, desired R-value, accessibility, whether existing insulation needs removal, moisture barriers required, and building code requirements. Closed-cell spray foam is the most expensive but provides the highest R-value per inch (R-6.5) plus acts as a vapour barrier. Government rebates through Enbridge and the Canada Greener Homes program can offset 15-25% of costs.
