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: Do tankless water heaters need to be insulated?

• <div><p>Insulation provides additional protection for your tankless water heater. Even if the unit is installed inside the house, it&rsquo;s still a good idea to wrap the unit up with insulation batts, especially if you live in cold climates. For outdoor units, you can build an insulated box around the tankless water heater for freeze protection.</p></div>

Q: Can I use spray foam to insulate air ducts?

• <div><p>Spray foam insulation doesn&rsquo;t do well around heat sources. Therefore, You can use spray foam insulation to seal around HVAC boots that penetrate through the drywalls or around where wrapped ducts connect to the boots, but we don&rsquo;t recommend using spray foam insulation to encapsulate your air ducts. Spray foam insulation on air ducts is also less effective compared to duct wraps.</p></div>

Q: Where should I not use spray foam insulation?

• <div><p>You should not use spray foam insulation in several specific areas. Avoid applying it in spaces exposed to high temperatures, such as near electrical boxes or recessed lighting, unless the foam is specifically rated for such use. Applying foam near electrical boxes can damage the wiring, and using it too close to lightboxes or recessed lights creates a potential fire hazard. Additionally, do not use spray foam in areas prone to shifting or movement, as this can lead to cracks and gaps in the insulation. Finally, open-cell foam is unsuitable for use below ground or in areas exposed to moisture because it can absorb water, which compromises its insulating effectiveness.</p></div>

Q: Does insulating an unheated garage cause mildew?

• <div><p>In some cases, yes, insulating an unheated garage can lead to mold and mildew. The issue with insulating a garage is that the interior will warm up and cool down more slowly than the exterior air, which can cause condensation inside the space. Where there is moisture, there is likely to be mold and mildew over time. Installing a vapor barrier can help avoid moisture and mildew problems in an insulated garage.</p></div>
