Often, a stretch of pipe can look like it’s half fittings. Every tee, 90/45 degree elbow, and union can cause a crack in the pipe where energy leaks out, and lost energy is lost money. In general, you can predict that leaving fittings uninsulated costs you 15-20% of your system’s thermal energy, which makes insulation a great investment. Very few other investments will pay for themselves and save you money, on average, within just one year.

Protect the Environment.
With carbon taxes and climate change on the top of many Canadian’s minds, it pays to be environmentally conscious. The world has its eye on Alberta and many of our less environmentally friendly industries. More and more Canadians in other provinces are holding up the oil sands and many other industries as acceptable collateral damage for a cleaner future. When you choose to insulate, you’re not only saving money, but you’re also demonstrating that the industry is willing to adapt to new challenges.
We’re Your Efficiency Experts.
The economy in Alberta still hasn’t fully recovered, and that means saving money and investing in efficiency is still very important. Working with experts like Westcal to make sure you’re using insulation effectively is simply going to save you a lot of money. We’ll be able to advise you on which type of insulation to use. We’ll be able to explain where you’ll want to sacrifice some thermal efficiency for increased durability, and where you won’t.
The National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) said, “While insulation can be one of the easiest, fastest and least costly “technologies” to reduce energy cost, it is often the last option considered.” We challenge you to consider insulation. We’re certain you’ll like the results you find. Contact Westcal Insulation LTD. today.
