Improve the Efficiency of Your Existing Hot Water System
Not every home needs a new hot water system straight away. Sometimes, simple upgrades can make a noticeable difference to efficiency and running costs.
If you have an older hot water cylinder, adding a cylinder insulation wrap and insulating exposed hot water pipes can help reduce heat loss and improve performance. These upgrades help keep water hotter for longer, meaning your system doesn’t have to work as hard to maintain temperature.
Benefits of Pipe Lagging and Cylinder Wraps
- Reduce heat loss from your hot water system
- Improve energy efficiency
- Help lower power bills
- Keep hot water warmer for longer
- Cost-effective upgrade for existing systems
- Quick and simple to install
For many households, insulating a hot water cylinder and exposed pipework is an affordable first step towards improving home energy efficiency. During a free home assessment, our team can advise whether your current system would benefit from these upgrades or whether a heat pump hot water system may provide greater long-term savings.
