Building Trust Starts with Quality Work

Mechanical insulation consists of materials such as fiberglass, rubber, calcium silicate, Mineral wool etc. that will restrict the heat loss or gain on mechanical systems. Mechanical insulation is also referred to as pipe insulation, boiler insulation, duct insulation and equipment insulation. 

Insulation systems maintain the surface temperature above the dew point temperature of the ambient air so that condensation does not occur. The damage caused by condensation is a potential safety hazard. Condensation can damage surrounding surfaces & equipment and aids in pipe corrosion. Condensation can also be the primary cause for sustaining mold growth affecting indoor air quality. Mechanical insulation provides freeze protection on pipes and on ducts it keeps the air warm much longer.  

Absolutely! Mechanical insulation reduces Greenhouse Gasses and Carbon Emissions immediately upon installation!  Mechanical insulation reduces energy consumption which lowers costs.  Energy consumption is directly related to the efficiency of the system that is conveying hot or cold liquids, air or products and it requires no gauges or controls. Mechanical insulation can provide personnel protection and protect sensitive gauges from heat. ROI in most cases is more than 100% (Credit NIA) 

10-30% of all existing insulation is missing or damaged and never replaced. Some insulation systems were never properly installed or had the adequate thickness required to control condensation. Thus causing corrosion on pipes and under the insulation, pipes & ducts sweating onto ceiling tiles attributing to mold growth, reduced equipment lifespans, high energy costs and high carbon emissions/ greenhouse gasses.
