ᐅ Has the pipe insulation for the heat pump in the new build been properly installed?

Hello everyone,

I’m standing in the heating basement of my new build with an air-to-water heat pump and wondering if the installer insulated everything properly. I’m not an expert in heating systems, but I can see quite a bit of exposed metal between the insulated pipes. For example, there are styrofoam covers available for circulation pumps. I believe Biral even supplies some of these with their systems.

Is this installation done correctly, or would adding more insulation be economically worthwhile?

Thanks for any advice. I plan to carefully ask the installer at the next opportunity if everything is in order. Sometimes some things are left unfinished.

Thanks for the tips!

It’s a heated boiler room, right? While you should use these polystyrene insulation shells, to be honest, in a heated room they don’t make much of a difference anymore. Heating costs will only change by a few cents.

You should definitely do that.

Functionally, it is probably sufficient.
Visually, it looks a bit plain... but it’s in the basement, so whatever.

Just ask him!


This is how it looks in our place...

Thank you for your response. The new build room does not have radiators or underfloor heating, but the rest of the house will provide sufficient heat. It will never get really cold there.
