That can be done. I am building my own differential controller to control the system so I can do whatever I want.



I looked into commercial insulated options. IMO they don't offer nearly enough R value, and they're incredibly expensive. Most of the stuff I saw had only around R3 (where mine is R15), and it cost 3X more than what I am doing.
R3? Ive never seen one that low but if you are boxing it in that is fine. I would still put armaflex around it as well.
