Good evening: Yes...a value for money solution..natural gas freezes at minus 296.7 degrees F.

Hi there,

We had to have this done at a previous property we lived in, it wasdone by British Gas, no problems with it all, we never insulated at all, (didn't even hink of that), we lived there for 15 years with it like that, never encountered any probs what so ever.
Hope this helps.

Many houses have pipes on the outside, my last one did. A pipe that came out of the ground and up the wall to the box.
