crawl space in MI - climate control

[Lori]

Hi, we have a 2ft crawl space in Michigan with a dirt floor. We want to enclose it but are not sure how to fix temp. problem, it gets really cold in the room above crawl in the winter.

We have contacted your local Basement Sytems installer here, and they recommend using the crawl-o-shere to pump inside house air into the crawl. Although I think this would help condition the air, would it keep the rooms/floor above warm in the winter?

Do we need to install insulation in addition to the Clean Space system? or will the crawl-o-shere be enough?

If we do need to install insulation would you recommend on the walls before the Clean Space is installed or after over the clean space liner? We were thinking of using a closed cell foam on the walls.

Thanks for your help (in advance), Lori

Hello,
Installing CleanSpace, sealing air leaks, and having a Crawl o sphere installed will greatly impact your homes performance. You could have the walls insulated prior to CleanSpace, or wait and see. You could insulate over the CleanSpace liner at a later time.

Thank you.
