When I lived in Oregon most of the houses there are built with a crawl space under the house and there are vents around the foundation most of which have a plastic door that you can open or close. There they would close the doors in winter and you also could get these foam insulated plugs that fit in the vent cavity for added protection. The only reason for fresh air in the crawl space would be if there was combustion air for a furnnace or water heater etc.being drawn from the crawl space crawl space ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve & Shannon To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, December 08, 2006 9:25 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Vents for the under side of your house
We live in SC. I have heard different opinions on whether or not you are suppose to close the vents or leave the vents to the under side of your house open in the winter. The reason for closing the vents is to keep the cold air out and this keeps pipes from freezing. Also I have heard you are suppose to leave them open so the under side of your house can get fresh air. What is every one's opinion on this? Steve & Shannon Today I marry my best friend.
