Can a smoke air cleaner install into my building's attic crawl space?

Frequently Asked Questions About A Smoke Air Cleaner and Pur...
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depends if there is space between ceiling joists. You need at least 24 inches opening between joists for the air cleaner. If you have adequate clearance, an attic crawlspace installation is similar to the drop ceiling scenario. Cut the appropriate sized hole in the ceiling material and finish the edges with the supplied trim. You'll need to use mounting hardware to support the weight of the unit from a suitable part of your building's framework.

Can I mount the Desert Spring humidifier in an unheated attic or crawl space?

Desert Spring furnace humidifier frequently asked questions ...
Yes, although care must be taken to ensure the Desert Spring Humidifier is not subjected to freezing as this will damage the unit and may cause leaks. Units located above a ceiling should also include the installation of the overflow line. You can reduce the risk of freezing by carefully insulating the incoming water line, 6 inch flex duct, and humidifier unit itself with fiberglass insulation (be sure not to put insulation directly against the motor).

I have a humidifier on my supply duct. Can I install the UV air purifier near the humidifier?

CaluTech Blue - Ultraviolet Clean Air UV Air Purifiers
Yes, at or above the humidifier. If you install it below the humidifier water droplets can drip down on the lamps and shorten their life. The Blue UV air purifier is certified for wet locations by CSA as safe. Even more, Snapcat uses moisture to further activate its oxy cleaning power. You would have been better off with the unit on always, not connected to a relay or switch on the fan. When the fan isn't running the pathogens and mold spores in the air don't stop too.

Will there be any accumulated dust or debris in my attic area?

Roofing Questions - Signature Roofing - Virginia
Yes. In all roofing jobs, some of the finer grit will fall between the cracks of the plywood or plank board decking. In cases where a ridge vent system is installed, sawdust will fall into the attic. We suggest removing or covering any items stored in the attic space if dust or debris accumulation is a concern.

If I install more insulation in my attic, what type should I use?

FAQ - Insulation and Weatherization
Most homeowners find it easiest to use batt insulation. Always use unfaced batts, as the paper of foil vapor retarder can trap water vapor in the original insulation, causing moisture problems. If possible, install the new insulation perpendicular to the attic floor joists to reduce heat loss through the joists. Loose fiberglass or cellulose can also be used, by pouring it and leveling it with a board or other implement.

Did you have a castle like the one in the attic when you were younger?

The Castle in the Attic & The Battle for the Castle
No. But I did have a huge dollhouse with a green mansard roof and real windows. And I played in an attic in my grandmother's house just like the one in the book. I remember the smell of old wood and heaps of strang ancient objects under the eaves --- dried out leather medicine balls and musty smelling party dresses and yellowing diplomas hanging from the rafters.

My home has a high-velocity (HV) heating system, can I still install the Desert Spring Humidifier?

The Desert Spring Humidifier requires a sturdy piece of duct to support its weight. Generally HV systems use flexible ducts, so some means of support for the unit must be created. The airflow through the humidifier must also be reduced to roughly 800 feet per minute. Also, see notes on attic installations below.

Should I install some kind of an air exchange / de-humidifier system with a panel house?

Frequently Asked Questions about Structural Insulated Panels...
Yes. IB Panels create a very tight envelope. Bringing in fresh air through an air-exchanger is better than a non-controlled (as through stud in standard framing), which creates heat loss. Panels are delivered by common carrier, or by IB Panels, on a flat-bed trailer. Panels are bound in units and are very compact, and do not take up a lot of load space. Costs involved are approximately $2.00 per loaded mile.

Should I install No-Tear on the roof or the attic floor?

How to calculate rFoil reflective insulation and No-Tear rad...
That's almost a judgement call on your part. If you live in a hot climate, the roof would be better. If you live in a cold climate, the attic floor would be better. But there are a couple of factors to consider. If you install No-Tear on the roof, you also need to cover the gable ends (that's the part that looks like a big triangle). If you live in a cold climate, installing it on the attic floor will also reduce winter heat loss (see "What if I can't get the best air gap?").

In the attic, where is the best place to install radiant barrier?

Radiant Barrier Questions and Answers
One problematic technique is to put radiant barrier directly on the underside of the roof sheeting. What happens in any attic that is not extremely well ventilated is that the surface of the radiant barrier gets very hot and the heat is conducted and convected into the air of the attic causing the attic and its insulation to get quite hot.

How should I install my "SMARTFOILS" "Home Barrier" radiant barrier in my attic?

Smartfoils.com - RADIANT BARRIER INSULATION
The most effective way to install a radiant barrier in an existing attic is simply to staple the foil material to the underside of the top chord of the roof trusses or to the underside of the roof decking. It's not very easy to work in any attic space, even one with a steep roof pitch. Keep in mind that any misstep could be disastrous, since most attic floors are not really floors at all.

Can I freeze my cake?

Land O'Lakes: FAQs (Frequently asked questions)
To prepare an unfrosted cake for freezing, wrap in plastic food wrap, aluminum foil or place in a resealable plastic freezer bag. To prepare a frosted cake for freezing, place cake in freezer until frozen. Then wrap as directed above. Occasionally, moisture from the frosting may dampen the top of the cake which is why we recommend freezing cakes unfrosted. Hint: Buttercream frostings freeze better than fluffy frostings as buttercream holds its shape better.
