Attic Insulation Removal & Rebate in Campbellford | The Same Guys Insulation

Short answer: The Same Guys Insulation, based at 83 Henry Smith Ave in Bowmanville, does attic insulation removal and re-insulation in Campbellford, Ontario. The town is about 110 km from the shop, typically around 90 minutes, so we quote first from the address, details or photos and only make the trip when a site check or the job itself is needed. We take out old, wet, mouldy or rodent-damaged insulation, air-seal, and bring the attic up to R-50 or better, usually toward about R-60. Qualifying upgrades can get 50% of the after-tax insulation cost back, up to $1,250, through the Ontario Home Renovation Savings / Enbridge attic rebate. Call 647-453-7037.

Campbellford sits on the Trent River in the Municipality of Trent Hills, in Northumberland County. It is a lock-town on the Trent-Severn Waterway, with a nineteenth-century downtown, older residential streets, and houses along the river. We only recommend removal when the existing layer should not stay.

What we do on a Campbellford attic

Trent Hills houses are priced individually. The work itself usually includes some combination of the following:

Full removal when the existing insulation is aged, wet, mouldy, contaminated by mice, squirrels or raccoons, or packed too flat to leave
A moisture review of the roof sheathing, bath-fan ducts and soffit vents once the floor is visible
Air sealing at top plates, stacks, wiring holes and fixtures after the old material is gone
Soffit baffles so the new layer does not block intake air
Blown-in insulation to at least R-50, typically toward about R-60
A top-up only, when the current layer is dry, even and still doing its job

Basement insulation is also available.

Campbellford houses, and the attics that come with them

Campbellford takes its name from a shallow crossing of the Trent River known as Campbell’s Ford, on land granted in the 1830s to Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Campbell and Major David Campbell. It was incorporated as a village in 1876 and as a town in 1906, and in 2001 it amalgamated with Hastings and the Townships of Seymour and Percy to form the Municipality of Trent Hills (Downtown Campbellford). The river and the Trent-Severn Waterway still shape the town, from the downtown streets to houses along the water. In the attic, that history usually looks like this:

Older houses near downtown and the river. Attics in this stock are often low, irregular, or reached through a tight hatch, with insulation added in layers over many decades. Photos of the hatch are usually enough to start a quote; we only come out first if access or the age of the house makes a site check necessary.
Mid-century bungalows and two-storeys farther from the core. These are more often a depth and settling problem than an access problem. Many sit below today’s R-50 rebate minimum, and a bathroom fan or blocked soffits can leave the insulation stained or packed down.
Later houses and rural homes in the rest of Trent Hills. These attics usually just need a depth check. If the attic is already above R-35, it no longer qualifies for the rebate, and homes occupied for six months or less are not eligible.

Should the old insulation come out of a Campbellford attic?

We answer that from the photos you send, or from a site check if the house itself requires one:

A top-up is enough when the fibreglass or cellulose is dry, evenly spread and clean. Adding depth to reach R-50 or more costs less, and the rebate still applies if the starting level is R-35 or lower.
A full take-out is the right path when we see wet or crusted material, stained roof boards, a bath fan dumping into the attic, rodent nests, or a layer compressed to a few inches. Covering that hides the damage.
Ice at the eaves, frost on nail tips or a musty hatch usually means warm indoor air is reaching the attic. An empty floor lets us seal those gaps before the new fill goes in.

Quote first: Campbellford is a longer east-end drive

Campbellford is about 110 km from the Bowmanville shop, typically around 90 minutes. That is why we write the price from the address, the age of the house and hatch photos, and why we travel only when a site check is needed or the job is booked, often with other work in Brighton, Colborne or Trenton.

The estimate is written from what you send us. Removal, air sealing, baffles, any mould-related work and the new insulation are listed separately, with the target R-value on the page.
A site check is reserved for houses that need one. Older downtown or river houses, a tight hatch, or photos that do not show enough may need a look in person. We do not book a 90-minute drive just to produce a price.
If the old layer cannot stay, high-powered attic vacuums take it out. If the rebate is being used, the starting R-value must be recorded on site before any insulation is disturbed. That is a program rule for the work day, not a condition of the quote.
Mould on the sheathing or framing is shown to you and treated first. Fan ducts are routed outside, soffits are cleared, floor gaps are sealed, and baffles go in at the eaves.
An even blow-in to at least R-50, typically toward about R-60, then a tidy work area, a walkthrough with you, and the contractor-side rebate documents.

Most Campbellford take-out-and-refill jobs are finished in a day. A large attic or a mould issue can add time, and we say so when we quote.

Home Renovation Savings for a Campbellford attic

The attic stream of the Ontario Home Renovation Savings program, run by Enbridge Gas and Save on Energy, does not ask for an energy assessment. It pays 50% of the after-tax insulation cost, up to a cap set by the starting level recorded on site:

R-12 or less: up to $1,250
R-13 to R-25: up to $1,000
R-26 to R-35: up to $800

The finished attic has to reach R-50. Cathedral ceilings and flat roofs have caps of $750 or $650. The rebate covers insulation, not removal or mould work. You must own the home. Heat must be an Enbridge gas furnace or boiler, or electricity, oil, propane or wood in a house connected to the Ontario electricity grid. That second path is the one that often applies on rural Trent Hills properties without gas.

The Same Guys Insulation is an approved contractor. We confirm eligibility, do the work to the program standard, and complete our paperwork. The program has been extended to March 31, 2027, as announced by Enbridge Gas in October 2026; confirm current dates at homerenovationsavings.ca. The longer version is on our Ontario attic insulation rebate page.

FAQ — attic insulation in Campbellford, Ontario

How far is Campbellford from your Bowmanville shop, and will you still take the job?
About 110 km, typically around 90 minutes. We still do the work. The quote is written from details and photos so we are not driving out only to estimate, and we often schedule it with other east-end jobs. Call 647-453-7037 with the address and hatch photos.

Do older houses near the river or downtown usually need the insulation taken out?
More often than houses on newer streets, yes. Low clearances, mixed old layers and venting that was never planned for a modern blow-in are common. If the material is dry and even, a top-up can still be enough.

Can I claim the Enbridge attic rebate on a Campbellford or Trent Hills home that isn’t on natural gas?
Often, if the other rules are met. Enbridge gas heat qualifies, and so does electricity, oil, propane or wood in a house on the Ontario electricity grid. The attic has to reach R-50, and the payment is 50% of after-tax insulation cost, up to $1,250, $1,000 or $800. The program has been extended to March 31, 2027, as announced by Enbridge Gas in October 2026; confirm current dates at homerenovationsavings.ca.

Does the rebate pay for removing old insulation in Campbellford?
No. It covers the purchase and installation of insulation. Removal and mould-related work are itemized separately.

My Campbellford attic is hard to get into. Can you still do the work?
In many houses, yes. Older downtown and river-road attics can have a small hatch or a low slope. Send hatch photos with the request. If access looks tight we may need a site check, and we will say so if a section cannot be done well.

How much does attic insulation removal and re-insulation cost in Campbellford?
Attic size, the amount that has to come out, and any mould or rodent damage set the price. Most work falls between about $1,500 and $4,500 or more, with a full take-out at the upper end. The quote is free.

Do you also serve the rest of Trent Hills?
Yes, including nearby parts of the municipality on a reasonable drive from Campbellford. See Brighton, Trenton and Peterborough.
