Here at Westcal, we tend to think insulation is one of the best investments a company can make, and with good reason. While most investments only help a company on one or two fronts, high quality insulation installed by an expert for maximum benefits provides your company with three quantifiable benefits.
Time.
Lost time due to injury and unscheduled down time due to malfunctions can cost companies millions or billions of dollars each year. Employees are dragged off of their usual projects to deal with the emergency, and you lose thousands of dollars every second your boiler or other piece of machinery is under repair. An insulation expert can advise you on what personnel protections will prevent injuries and which barriers and finishes will help your mechanical systems work more efficiently. This efficiency will translate directly into less wear and tear, which means fewer unscheduled shut downs.
Environment.
When your mechanical systems are running smoothly and efficiently, you’ll also waste less energy and heat, burn less fuel, and help protect the environment. With carbon taxes and the Paris Accords to think about, investing in insulation may be the first step in abiding by federal and provincial emission guidelines to avoid penalties and bad press.
Money.
While helping the environment is a great extra, the bottom line is that insulation saves your business money. Insulation generally pays for itself in under a year, so companies can start reaping the benefits of their investment fast. According to the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) and the National Mechanical Insulation Committee (NMIC), “While insulation can be one of the easiest, fastest and least costly technologies to reduce energy cost, it is often the last option considered.” Make the smart choice, and consider insulation first.
