Thats what my simple brain deduced. Why would 2 seperate AC guys poo poo
the use of insulation?
Any ideas where I can get some insulation. I was eyeing off some "soft roof
racks" for $4 which were a foam tube about 1 inch inner diameter... that
grey coloured foam... good enough for me to cut and then tie on tightly?
Also I need to add foam strips around the perimeter of radiator, between the
radiator and the condensor... at least the AC guy could tell me that!
Anyone know where to get these foam strips? They need to be about 1-2 inches
thick
