Dawn writes from Duluth, Minnesota: “I am insulating my basement with Kraft faced batts, then paneling over that. What is the proper way to install the insulation around the electrical outlets?
The best way is to cut the insulation to fit around the electrical boxes. If any knob and tube wiring is present be sure to keep the insulation three inches away. You will recognize knob and tube wiring by the ceramic knobs or tubes that the wire gets attached to, or passes through, at the joists or studs.
