You probably are ok if you just use common senseWhat you want to avoid is places were the wiring is going to get stepped on or tripped overYou also want to avoid wiring being pulled against sharp metal objects like ductworkIt is often best to secure attic wiring up high and away on the roof rafters if possibleLow voltage wiring (network, speaker wires etc) is less dangerous - if you are talking about AC wiring, you really need to be more carefulThere are some great books at home stores and book shops on home electrical wiring.

I reckon that the previous owners found that, under certain weather conditions, there was a draught coming from these vents, and used the insulation to try and block it offOR there could be noise coming through them from other suitesI honestly think its as simple as thatObviously, they are there for a reason, and shouldn;t be blockedI'm pretty sure that you will soon discover why they did it though

I am guessing that during construction, the drywallers or carpenters would have put that in the ductMaybe even the general contractor Anyways, the idea is to keep as much junk(sanding dust) out of a clean system-as the pipes do not have stuff in them of any sortSo it is kind of a preventative measure If it is forced air heating, then those ducts would also receive the same treatment OK? When house was nearing completion there is a lot less dust(especially when the Painter is there.) After the painter should have been the house cleaners(I think they do it or the furnace guys) and they should have checked all the vents to be sure that they were clean of anything Looks like they missed a fewIf you don't have proper air circulation the worst that could happen is that your heating bill will be higher in the winter.
