Sorry, but insulating your steam risers is not going to have a noticeable effect on how well your system gets heat into your rooms.JoeHeredia said:The heating system in our building seems to be on continuously. Now the temps in Feb 2024 are in the 50’s, at times. I would like to know the best (least expensive)!way to insulate the 2.5” riser pipes in three of our rooms to make the apartment more comfortable. Thanks.

If your system has issues that are preventing heat from getting into the living space, insulating your steam pipes isn't going to fix it.NJ Steam Homeowner.

@ethicalpaul it sounds like they're trying to insulate risers that go to someone else's apartment to reduce the output into theirs.
Single pipe 392sqft system with an EG-40 rated for 325sqft and it's silent and balanced at all times.

We'll see what they say, but I don't think that's it. They are saying the boiler is running all the time and the temps inside are only getting to the 50s at times
