Insulating your hot water pipes reduces heat loss and can raise water temperature 2°F–4°F hotter than uninsulated pipes can deliver, allowing you to lower your water temperature setting in your water heater or boiler. You also won't have to wait as long for hot water when you turn on a faucet, showerhead, or your heating system, which helps conserve water.
Plus, National Grid offers rebates to help make energy-saving pipe insulation more affordable for you:
