I've got 10 non IC cans in my kitchen. I believe the non IC refers to the fact that insulation can't cover or otherwise touch the assembly in the attic.
I know I'm losing a ton of energy through them so with a little research I found out about Tenmat covers that can be glued on top of the units in the attic. I believe you can then blow insulation over the top of them.
Not only would this stop energy leaks, I believe I might have less dust in the house as well. In my leaky brain I'm thinking that when the air on comes on, it's sucking air and dust out of these cans from the attic.
What do you think?
Also, a couple years ago I replaced the bulbs with fluorescents and they are beginning to burn out so now might be a time to switch to LED?
Anyone have some recommendations for LED floods?
Here is a video on the covers and sorry for this verbose mess!
