How to Insulate Hot Water Pipes
Hot water pipes lose significantly less heat when properly insulated. We can achieve a quick payback by installing pipe lagging around pipes. For a more comprehensive solution, consider insulating the pipes under the floorboards.
Insulating exposed pipework is straightforward - purchase insulation material, cut to size, and place around the pipework. Alternatively, a professional can be hired to do this work; any plumber should be able to assist.
