Insulating Vent Stack
I have what looks like about a 4" space around the vent pipe itself as it goes thru the ceiling. I have noticed an immense amount of heat pours down thru this during the summer. Does this cause a loss in the efficiency of my cooling with A/C? If so...what do you recommend? I have a Coleman Pres...

RE: air leaks etc...
Does anyone have a suggestion for air leaks thru wall plugs in recepticles? My home is only 14 yrs old and has these problems. On windy days I get a pretty good breeze thru the slots.

What would it involve on an existing set up home? Would it be to cosly at this point? Our frostline is 4 foot deep. Tha...
