Have you ever thought of insulating your pipes? You might not worry too much about the pipes in your home since they don’t get cold enough to freeze, but there are several reasons why insulating your pipes is a worthwhile undertaking.
There are many issues that could come from uninsulated pipes. For example, if your cold water pipes aren’t insulated and there is a lot of humidity, condensation can form on them. This could lead to water damage or mold growth in your home.
Another issue happens when your hot and cold water pipes are too close together. This can lead to heat transfer between the pipes making it so your hot water isn’t hot enough while your cold water is luke-warm.
If your water heater is far from a faucet, having insulated pipes will keep the water warm longer.
As you can see, insulated pipes are not just good to keep them from freezing. Insulating them gives you a wide range of benefits year-round.
