Now is the time to call for pipe insulation service - before freezing weather takes its toll! The long-term weather outlook for 2017 predicts frequent snow blasts lasting into the spring for the Northeast. This cold weather may prove to be particularly damaging to tank yards and petrochemical facilities.
1. Be proactive, cold weather limits the ability to respond
Ever discover during the first big snowstorm of the year or the hottest day of the summer that your furnace or air conditioner does not work? How happily did your family react at the time? Was it easy to get a repair crew to your house? If you are nodding your head right now, then you know the value of being proactive.
The first frost of the season increases demands at repair shops and service providers, limiting the ability to respond to repair calls. High demand makes it difficult to accommodate all service requests. With that in mind, we encourage you to proactively schedule service and avoid potential delays.
2. Pipe insulation improves your bottom line
The thermal efficiency of properly insulated piping and equipment benefits you through reduced energy consumption and operating costs. Insulation also helps to maintain accurate product temperature and increases reliability by reducing the risk of condensation and freeze damage.
3. Neglected maintenance can cause serious problems
Maintenance of your pipe insulation systems ensures continued protection of your critical infrastructure. Missing, wet or damaged insulation compromises system efficiency and reliability.
Flood and leak exposure and trapped condensation commonly cause wet pipe insulation. Wet insulation promotes hidden CUI (corrosion under insulation), and increased thermal conductance (the measure of a material's ability to transfer heat over a unit of time). This is often worse than no insulation because it actually facilitates energy draining heat transfer. So in effect, wet pipe insulation is the opposite of thermal insulation.
Pipe insulation helps protect product and infrastructure.
