Insulation Over Wires In Attic

Hi i have a guy working in my attic.

Insulation over wires in attic.

Foil faced doesn t have a longer life it s the same. Make sure that the entire surface of the wire is coated with an even coat of chalk. Rub colored chalk on the outside coating of the electrical wire running through the stud cavity. Still depending on the installation s location arizona vs.

You can run the insulation right over the wiring. I have a garage workshop with wiring run through the frames but not in the electrical tubes. Is this ok to insulate or will the wire generate heat. Attic electrical wiring covered with insulation poses a concern about over heating.

The kraft facing is a moisture barrier it should be towards the living space. I have been getting bad vibes off him for the last few days and things that are starting to raise red flags. The insulation can be held in place either by tackingchicken wire poultry netting to the edges of the joist or with snap in wireholders. So i went into the attic to just have a quick look at what he is doing.

Once the new wiring is in place insulate away in the walls and attic. I have zero experience with electrical installation but what i saw looked. Always cover the tops of the ceiling joists to make sure the insulation is deep enough to reach your target r value and to prevent thermal bridging the heat loss that occurs through the wood framing. Don t forget to place insulation against the perimeter that rests onthe sill plate.
