Insulation Over Wires In Attic

I have been getting bad vibes off him for the last few days and things that are starting to raise red flags.

Insulation over wires in attic.

Make sure that the entire surface of the wire is coated with an even coat of chalk. Maine for example on whether or not the attic is vented or unvented and on whether some of the junction boxes also contain light fixtures which generate heat installing insulation around existing wiring could violate one of these nec performance standards. Don t forget to place insulation against the perimeter that rests onthe sill plate. I have a garage workshop with wiring run through the frames but not in the electrical tubes.

Attic electrical wiring covered with insulation poses a concern about over heating. Is this ok to insulate or will the wire generate heat. Hi i have a guy working in my attic. The kraft facing is a moisture barrier it should be towards the living space.

Once the new wiring is in place insulate away in the walls and attic. The insulation can be held in place either by tackingchicken wire poultry netting to the edges of the joist or with snap in wireholders. You can run the insulation right over the wiring. I have zero experience with electrical installation but what i saw looked.

But first go around in the attic where the electrician has done the work and use caulk or expanding foam insulation to fill. Rub colored chalk on the outside coating of the electrical wire running through the stud cavity. Foil faced doesn t have a longer life it s the same. Work from the perimeter of the attic toward the door or hatch so that you don t trample all over the insulation you just put in.
