Why do the pipes in a steam heating system need to be insulated?
The pips in a steam heating system need to be insulated to prevent condensation. Condensation can lead to mold and or freezing of the steam pipes in the winter.
Should you insulate your hydronic heat pipes in the basement?
If the basement has ventilation to outside, the answer is yes. Heat loss from the pipes will escape outside the house. If the basement is closed to the outside then no, the pipes need not be insulated. Any heat lost from the pipes will provide some heating to the basement that will rise into the house.
What is the meaning of Central Heating System?
A Central Heating System is used to provide warmth to an entire building or portions of it. The heating is carried through vents or radiators connected by ducts or pipes.
What home heating system heats water and pushes it through pipes?
Typically a baseboard heating system. Consisting of a boiler, pump, piping, and a heat exchanger like aluminum fins.
What is the purpose of plumbing?
The Plumbing system with your house has the role of transporting the water in the water supply system or the hot water from the heating system into your home. It is a set of well connected pipes and heating bodies that play the key role in heating up your home. I hope this helps. Bibika

Why do pipes in a steam-heating system need to be insulated?
So the pressure wont bust the pipe.
Why do pipes in a steam heating system need to be insulated?
In a steam heating system, the pipes transport steam or water vapor to the radiators to heat the building. Insulating the pipes reduces the amount of heat lost to the surrounding environment. Any heat lost in the pipes cannot be used to heat the radiators, and causes the system to be less energy efficient.
Why do the pipes in a steam-heating system need to be insulated?
Because the ambient temperature on the outside creates alot of condensation and drips, never mind the heat loss of the steam

What is a hydronic system?
A boiler with a circulating pump and pipes to convey heating water around a house, through radiators or underfloor pipes.
Is antifreeze really required to keep copper baseboard heating system pipes from bursting in NH?
Antifreeze would be required if the home is not adequately insulated or there are spaces where cold air has access to the pipes such as holes in the walls or floors. Also, if a wood stove is operating, the rooms' thermostat will not call for heat so the pipes can freeze up and burst when thawing out. Should the home be used infrequently during winter months, it is not a bad idea to have antifreeze put in the heating system unless you are prepared to make sure the home is heated and have a plan in place in case power is lost.
Why to insulate tanks?
A cold water tank (and pipes) in the loft is insulated to prevent frost damage during winter. The hot water cistern is insulated (lagged) all the time, to reduce heat loss and lessen the time the element is using electricity in heating the water inside.

Why should the water pipes in the house be well insulated so that they are not likely to freeze in winter?
if the water in the pipes freezes, it will expand and break the pipes.
