this is a fairly new unit and notice that whomever installed it heat taped it on the front side of blower unit in basement but not the back sidewhen unit is on and blowing I can feel air come through whereever it is not taped? Is there a reason they left this side not taped? Could this be one reason I don't get proper air flow to 2nd story of my home? Should I tape it off whereever I feel air leaking through?What kind tape?
not sure I completely comprehend your questionin case your studs are 2.seventy 5 thick, you will get insulation for a 2x3 metallic stud wall and that could desire to artwork advantageousRoxul is my first decision, yet crimson you may fold or compress with out matters.
Replace the windows with double paneMake sure your insullation hasn't settledIf you buy the blowin insullation at Home Depot I think you can rent the blower for free or very little.
Windows They are your biggest heat gainSingle pane windows have almost NO insulation valueMy experience is more with heat but the heat exchange works the same with coolingI got a flyer from my supplier that said for every 3 degrees of temperature difference between inside and outside the heat flow DOUBLES fhrough single pane windows That means if the temperature goes up 10 degrees the heat coming in through your windows comes in 8 times faster! But heavy drapes and shades act as insulationWindows are costly But I will say the blown in insulation, particularly the paper or cellulose type will compact over time and not insulate as wellAlthough it is only a crawl space you might be able to lay a layer of fiberglass insulation over the top of itIs it vented? You could add an attic fan if it gets very hot in thereThose are cheaper options than window but windows will have the biggest effect Good Luck.
Yes, you should tape it upIt is ridiculous at the things installers forget to doI would use a tape that they use hereIt is an aluminum foil tape with a paper backingYou peel of the backing and stick the tape onIt seals better and lasts longer than duct tape and so on.
