Insulate suitable hot-water storage and pipes
Why this can help
Insulating suitable hot-water cylinders and distribution pipes reduces heat lost before water is used. The opportunity depends on insulation already present.
One possible next step
Check the existing insulation and compatible improvements with the manual or a qualified installer.
What changes the outcome
Follow system-specific instructions. Keep controls, valves, required ventilation and incompatible surfaces uncovered. A modern well-insulated cylinder may not benefit from an extra jacket.
The action
One possibility
Losing heat through insufficiently insulated surfaces
Another possibility
Adding appropriate compatible insulation
Insulating suitable hot-water cylinders and distribution pipes reduces heat lost before water is used. The opportunity depends on insulation already present.
Check the existing insulation and compatible improvements with the manual or a qualified installer.
