Insulating Boiler/Chiller Pipe Systems
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, any surface hotter than 120°F should be insulated, including boiler doors, steam drum covers, access doors, and connecting pipes. Without proper insulation, valuable energy literally radiates away, costing you money, and creating unnecessary safety risks.
Why Boiler Pipes Should Be Insulated
Operating a boiler requires significant energy. When pipes carrying steam or hot water are left uninsulated:
Energy Loss from Leaky Ducts
Heat leaks into mechanical rooms and unused spaces, wasting energy and driving up operating costs.
Higher Utility Costs
Unsealed ducts force your HVAC system to work overtime to maintain temperature, increasing energy consumption.
Uncomfortable or Unsafe Work Areas
Escaping air raises ambient temperatures, creating uncomfortable environments and potential safety concerns.
