Energy Efficiency cylinder jacket

Fig 1

It is very wasteful and ineffective to leave a hot water cylinder uninsulated.

The hot water cylinder should always be fitted with a cylinder jacket to minimise heat loss and keep the water hot for as long as possible..
Also all pipework coming out of the cylinder should also be insulated.
