Air Sealing Can Lights in Salem, CT

Many homes have recessed lighting.  Can lights are a major source of air leakage from the conditioned space into the unconditioned attic space.  Most of these lights use incandescent or halogen bulbs which burn at 380 degrees.  Hot air rises faster so the air leaks faster.  We used our TiteShell can light covers which are safe to use around hot light fixtures.  Once the covers are fitted around the fixture they are air sealed with expanding foam.
