I have a 2 ft well and its far from the house with no electric other than the wire ran underground to the well. I really dont want to splice into that wire, with hat being said i would like some op ions on how to insulate the pipes coming out of the well into the ground? the ones in the ground are below frost line so they are fine, Im more worried about the lines from casing to the ground that are showing. I was going to build a plywood box and insulate it and put it over the well and put foam pipe insulation on the pipe it self. Anyone have any other ideas?

Consider XPS or EPS insulation for your insulated box. Those are not bothered by moisture. You want to insulate the pipe entering the ground to keep that pipe from freezing on its way down to the frost line.

Do it right...install a pitless adapter and never worry about it again.
Like VA says a pitless is best. Heat tapes, portable heaters, even a heat lamp will work as long as you have power. But usually the power goes off at the worst time and it still freezes. Also got to be careful, especially with a heat light not to burn the place down.
