Pipe insulation is not the usual Saturday night topic, but welcome to homeownership. If you want more efficiency from your hot water tank, or you want to protect outdoor pipes from cold weather and avoid the hassle and cost of a burst pipe, insulation is the answer.
Insulating the pipes that run from the water heater can help keep showers hot and may trim your utility bills a little. Still, protection from the cold is probably your main goal. That means covering outdoor pipes, air conditioner pipes, and general plumbing.
Pipe insulation may sound like a big job, but Pros can take care of it. Check reviews before you book.
