I know there are insulation and non-insulation can lights. Are recessed lights safe to use?
Q. I get paranoid about these things. Even though I bought can lights to put up, is it safe to put insulation right up next to it even though it is rated that it can be?

A. Building codes vary from area to area but generally speaking, if the cans are IC (Insulation Contact) then it is rated safe to be right up close and personal with insulation. But this is not to say that insulation should go on TOP of the can. They are safe if installed properly. Another designation you will find with these lights is "air tight". This link will explain in more detail.

Insulation in a Detached Unheated Garage- Is this okay?
Q. I just moved into a new house and it has a workshop/garage behind the house. One of the previous owners insulated the garage but I'm near the ocean in a somewhat damp location. Without any form of climate control (heat) in this garage, I was wondering if it was okay to have fiberglass insulation in there? I guess I'm concerned that the insulation will keep moisture against the inside walls of the garage and/or encourage mold growth? I've removed a section of the insulation and it seems as though the wood is okay. The garage structure is about 45 years old, I'm not sure when the insulation was put up. Probably at least 20 years ago.

A. It certainly won't hurt to leave the insulation in place. The only time it would hurt is if you developed a leak in the roof or sides of the garage. Mold needs moisture to grow. It sounds as though the walls and ceiling are not drywalled. Mice and birds will use the insulation for nesting. I would recommend either covering with drywall. Or rremoving the insulation, if not protected from varmints.
