Boiler / Insulation question

Mehullakhani

Hi All

I live in a medium-sized 2-bed flat . The block is about 10yrs old. Today whilst insulating the doors, I thought about the boiler. There are some links to pics below . I was just wondering weather it is worth putting some insulation around the boiler ? If so what type ?





Thanks

Lag the pipes and leave the rest alone would be the best plan.

Are you referring to the boiler or cylinder?

The cylinder should have insulation within the outer casing and with regards to the boiler itself, absolutely not.

So basically, all I need to do is lag the pipes. I was thinking about insulating the cylinder ( the round thing that sits on the floor ) , would that help keep water warm ? Sorry about the noob questions !
