The Insulation Guy (S & S Industrial Insulation) provided an energy survey of the entire steam system, including supply and return piping, valves, heat exchangers, and equipment. The entire project required five months to complete. By investing $70,000 in labor and materials for the project, the company that contracted the insulation provider saw a return of 200 percent in reduced energy costs.
