Default Hot Water Radiation Q.

Just insulate it. The foam pipe wrap is cheap and if you live there
for 10-30 years it is well worth it. If youre selling in 6 months
dont bother.

So there would be a gain, but not enough to justify buying the insulation?

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.
