Boiler Pipe Insulation – Energy Efficiency

by | Boilers | 0 comments

Boiler Pipe Insulation - Energy Efficiency - Richard, I have lots of my boiler pipe under the house in a crawl space and some in the basement, and none of this pipe is insulated. I just bought the house last year and this past winter my gas bill was crazy high. Can I increase efficiency by insulating these pipes and what are some other ways to keep the gas bill lower by optimizing the boiler system?

Thanks and I look forward to your answer……….Bill – Pittsburgh, PA
