It's a scenario we're all too familiar with in the UK. You're sitting at home, wrapped up in a blanket, with a cup of tea in hand, yet you can still feel a chill. Could pipe insulation be the missing piece of your cosy winter puzzle? Perhaps it's time to consider a solution, which often gets sidelined, but could actually be a game-changer.
Insulating hot water pipes lessens heat loss and can increase the water temperature by as much as 4°F, which in turn means you will be able to lower your boiler's temperature setting. Insulated pipes furthermore deliver hot water faster than uninsulated pipes, so you do not have to wait for the water to heat up when you turn on a tap. Having instant hot water helps save water, which these days is essential with many countries experiencing water shortages.
