Hi all,

Do I need to insulate all central heating pipes , I will be using Speedfit pipes and no pipes will be under floor downstairs so don't need frost protection but is it good practice to just insulate for heat loss?
 
It depends where the heat will be lost to. If the heat will be lost to a cold room, outhouse, ground or roof space then insulate - if it'll only go into heating the room that you're trying to heat anyway - then what's the point?!
