Insulation Services

Jergens delivers complete mechanical insulation scopes for the same demanding pharmaceutical, chemical, food & beverage, and industrial facilities we serve across every other division. From hot process lines to cryogenic systems, our crews insulate, jacket, and finish to spec — and back it with custom removable covers fabricated for the equipment your maintenance teams access most.

Insulation is not an afterthought — it is what protects your energy budget, your process temperatures, your equipment, and your people. Poorly insulated systems waste energy, sweat condensation, freeze in winter, and expose workers to burn hazards.

Because insulation is one division within a full-scope mechanical contractor, Jergens can coordinate it directly with the piping, fabrication, and HVAC-R work happening alongside it — no chasing separate subcontractors, no finger-pointing at the seams between scopes.

Every system is installed to ASTM and manufacturer specifications, with materials and finishes selected for the operating temperature, environment, and maintenance demands of the application.

Valves, flanges, exchangers, and equipment that need routine maintenance shouldn’t have to be re-insulated every time a crew touches them. Jergens fabricates custom removable, reusable insulation covers that strip off in minutes and re-attach just as fast — keeping systems efficient and inspections simple.

Properly engineered insulation pays for itself in energy savings, process reliability, and a safer plant — every hour the system runs.

Why insulate? Now more than ever, insulation should be an integral part of your company’s energy efficiency, productivity, cost reduction, and personnel protection plans. Here’s why.

The most widely accepted benefits of insulation are energy savings and the resulting cost savings. Energy is often the most costly component in managing a building or manufacturing facility and its processes. Reducing energy consumption reduces costs, and lowering costs is a primary objective for most companies. Insulation is also an exceptionally cost-effective investment: properly designing, installing, and maintaining an insulation system can yield an annual rate of return that is more than 100%.

In addition, insulation greatly reduces the loss of energy. Equipment or processes that lose energy can increase the temperature within a facility or area and put additional stress on other equipment, reducing its performance and life expectancy.

Saving energy with mechanical insulation is a quick and simple way to save money, whether for hot or cold applications. As one facility manager notes, of all the energy-saving technologies available, a properly insulated system can provide the best ROI. It makes good business sense to look at insulation first.

NIA estimates maintenance of mechanical insulation in industrial/manufacturing plants could save annually $3.7 billion in energy costs and 37.9 million metric tons of carbon emissions, with an ROI of 11.3 months.
