MarkyG82 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Recently had a new unvented tank put in the loft and the old vented tank removed from the airing cupboard. The whole of the loft is insulated so there is currently no transfer of lost heat into the house other than the pipes running through the now empty AC. The new tank is a good super insulated one but the pipework only has basic foam lagging on with gaps all over. I will improve this of course but also wondered if it was worth bagging or boxing the whole setup and if so how would I go about it. Any thoughts very welcome.

SteamyTea Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Simple way to check for heat loss is to put a thermometer on the cylinder. Then work out the power loss from the temp difference and surface area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
