Another question, the pipe is running in a crawl space and shoots up into my extension. The crawl space is in too well insulated, is it recommended to insulate the copper pipes? My main question really would be is it ok to insulate hot water pipe (my heat is from hot water)

If freezing is a concern you may be best protected by running a glycol solution in your system.

pipe

You can insulate any pipe you wish to, and if you insulate the hot water heating pipe, it will work a little bit better.
