[QUOTE="rawhide, post: 3230993, member: 3448"] I don't know of any internet horror stories my wife has read on the internet, but she and I have talked with people with personal experience who told us they have to run a dehumidifier to reduce moisture. The heat pump is recommended woth foam insulation to help draw moisture out. From what I've read you are correct about the insulation installer being the most important factor regardless of the type of insulation. Most problems that arise from foam insulation seem to result from faulty installation. Foam in the walls should be r22 vs fiberglass in 6" walls is r19, but the foam seals drafts. [/QUOTE]
