Medicine Hat's nickname - the Gas City - explains why so much of its building stock, residential and commercial alike, was never built with air-sealing as a priority. Decades of cheap local natural gas meant nobody worried about a leaky envelope. That era is over, and it's why Medicine Hat has one of the best retrofit paybacks in Alberta: the leaks are decades old and the fix is straightforward.
Every building type, one city
- Homes - about six in ten Medicine Hat homes predate 1991, concentrated in the older core around Crescent Heights and Ross Glen. See residential spray foam in Medicine Hat.
- Commercial and industrial - metal buildings, warehouses and the aging downtown commercial stock. See commercial spray foam in Medicine Hat.
- Farms and acreages across the region - see agricultural spray foam province-wide.
Closed-cell or open-cell for a Medicine Hat job
Closed-cell fixes the older below-grade walls and metal-building condensation that define this market; open-cell handles interior walls and sound control at lower cost. Newer areas like Southlands and Saamis Heights still need bonus rooms and rooflines sealed properly.
