Taping Tstat Probe

[Neal]

I understood it that the aluminum tape can affect the electrical signal the probe sends to the unit. Otherwise, what's the difference between covering the probe with aluminum tape vs duct tape.

That's the first I'm hearing of this. I always tape the probe, with a small piece in the middle and I've never had any issues. Aluminum Duct Tape is meant to withstand heat and sticks better than regular Duct Tape, that and regular duct tape leaves residue. I mean people can do it whatever way they want, but I would never recommend using anything other than the aluminum duct tape.
