Q: How can I prevent ductwork from sweating in a crawl space?

• <div><p>Ductwork sweats due to a temperature difference between the air inside the ducts and the surrounding air, similar to how a cold drink develops condensation in the heat. This sweating is a sign that your HVAC system is not operating at peak efficiency. The best way to keep ductwork from sweating is to wrap it in proper insulation, which also improves your system's energy efficiency. Another option is to close off your crawl space and install a dehumidifier to dry the air and lower its dew point.</p></div>

Q: How long does spray foam insulation last?

• <div><p>Spray foam insulation can last between 80 and 100 years, depending on the type. Closed-cell spray foam is more durable, while open-cell foam is more susceptible to moisture damage and deterioration. It's important to consult a professional installer to understand which type of foam will be used and its specific longevity. Additionally, be aware that some spray foams can damage plastic piping, so if you have PVC or CPVC pipes, discuss this with your installer.</p></div>

Q: Do roof vents keep a house cooler?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-common-myths-about-roof-vents.htm">Roof vents help cool a house</a> because as they allow hot air to escape, the temperature regulates inside the attic. If vents are defective or there are not as many as there should be, the attic becomes hot and stuffy. Without roof vents, air conditioning has to work harder to maintain a consistent temperature in the attic.</p></div>

Q: Can I install insulation behind drywall myself?

• <div><p>Yes, you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-install-insulation.htm">install insulation</a> behind drywall yourself, but only if your walls are not finished. If your studs are exposed, installing fiberglass insulation in roll or batt form is very straightforward and just requires a few tools and some safety equipment. If your walls are already finished and you&rsquo;re looking to add insulation, it&rsquo;s better to hire a professional, as you&rsquo;ll likely need blown-in insulation, which can be dangerous to work with and a challenge to get into the proper areas in your wall voids.</p></div>

Q: Does PEX pipe need to be insulated?

• <div><p>Yes, PEX pipes should be insulated in certain situations. While insulation is not always necessary for pipes running through insulated interior or external walls, it is recommended for any pipes located in uninsulated rooms, unheated areas, or outside, especially in regions with cold winters. The primary reason is to prevent freezing. Although PEX is more resistant to cracking from freezing than other materials, repeated freezing and thawing can weaken the pipes over time, increasing the risk of a burst.</p></div>
