But I mean by the time the hot water travels up to the third floor (second
floor in a 2 storey house) wouldn't there be loss of heat so it would
take longer to heat those rooms? I would rather have that heat go to
those rooms then to Minimally heat the basement, which is being heated my
it's own zone anyway.

All I'm asking is, is it worth putting the money into pipe insulation,
will it provide more heat to the upper levels??

Thanks.

So, you didn't read my answer, especially the last sentence.
