Whether you run a standalone retail store or a fully-equipped industrial facility, winter is always a time of increased energy costs. In some cases, the soaring utility bills can be intimidating enough to make you consider turning down the heat and forcing your staff to double up on sweaters. Fortunately, there is an easier way to cut down on energy costs without negatively impacting the workplace environment.
Keep the Cold Out and the Warmth In
Mechanical insulation specifically focuses on a building’s mechanical systems such as HVAC, boilers, piping, and ducts. These systems are usually tucked out of sight and out of mind, yet are huge culprits of heat loss. Furthermore, allowing these systems to freeze can be detrimental to your operations. No one wants equipment downtime in the winter. Insulation experts like the ones at Westcal are trained at finding all the small nooks and crannies where the cold is creeping in. These are the places that they will need to reinforce with insulation to keep your shop, and its equipment, toasty warm.
The Installation that Pays for Itself
Insulation is one of the only systems in your facility that will pay for itself in mere months. Given the expenses that comes along with operating over the winter, that’s a return on investment you can’t afford to miss. Keep in mind, however, that ROI is only possible the insulation is installed by a professional and the material being used is appropriate for your space.
Regular Maintenance to Keep You Cozy
Once installed, you can work together with your insulation professional to determine how often maintenance is needed on your systems. Inspections are most often quick and non-invasive, ensuring that your operations aren’t necessarily interrupted. That way you can keep doing what you do best, knowing that your mechanical insulation is in the best hands possible.
