I have a new furnace and I’m adding a heat pump, ducts are from 1960 and not sealed. I figure now it the time to do this.
I’m assuming the higher the R value the better (within reason), I’ll need insulation that is thinner because taking the ducts down to wrap will be problematic.
I get the tape and mastic idea so we don’t need much discussion about that.
Looking for suggestions as to what is a good but thin insulation to use.
Also I know this will last a long time but what’s a good estimate 20 years?
I’ve heard wrapping it tight is better than loose and I’ve heard loose is better than tight, what’s AT’s opinion?
