Adding insulation is an inexpensive way to greatly reduce energy costs.

Step 2: Cover the pipes with foam insulation.
Use snap-on foam insulation to cover the exposed hot water pipes in the basement. Use a utility knife to cut the foam ends at an angle to cover any turns in the pipes. Make sure all ends of the foam pieces are touching to completely cover the pipes.
 Cover as much of the exposed pipes as you can.
