Nathan –
I think the thread here is it totally depends on your situation. I am sticking my neck out here but what the heck. After 23 years at this is what I do. Long winter and cool summer night – probably insulate as keeping warm is to your benefit with a higher winter temp. If it is in a heated space I never insulate. Hot summer and mild winter – You could probably go either way insulate or not. Or insulate for winter and remove in summer. This is a big expense if you were to hire it out [for a homeowner]. Mild year round – why bother to insulate. Long hot summers Mild winter - Sink it in the ground if it would help reduce summer temps? Ok let me have it.
