I've got a electric direct unvented cylinder, which is factory insulated.
Thing is, the storage cupboard that it's in still gets very hot. All the pipes are insulated with foam (13 mm).
As there is signficant heat escaping into the storage room - I was hoping that this could be kept in the water and hopefully reduce bills.
Am I likely to get any significant benefit by sticking a jacket over the cylinder (with suitable holes for all the pipes and heaters) - or will this simply be a waste of time and effort? Or indeed, would such additional insulation cause problems in some way?
