Don't let undetected air leaks blow your profits

Did you know that a 1/8" air leak could cost you more than $1,000 a year in energy loss? Your compressed air system could be costing you more than you realize. Since electricity can be more than 75% of typical lifetime compressed air system costs, it's important to examine how efficiently your system operates.

Xcel Energy's Compressed Air Efficiency study can help you save thousands. The program will:

• Identify air leaks and their associated energy costs
• Measure your compressed air supply and demand, determining your system baseline
• Recommend improvements with payback terms and estimated energy savings

In addition to study funding, we offer rebates for installing qualifying energy-saving new equipment, such as storage or high-efficiency compressors. Or you can qualify for rebates with process changes that do not include purchasing equipment, such as piping modifications or reducing existing horsepower. When you participate in a Compressed Air Efficiency study and implement the equipment or process recommendations, you can earn a check for up to $400 per kW saved.

What our Compressed Air Efficiency program can do for your business

Our Compressed Air Efficiency program lowers energy costs by increasing efficiency in your compressed air system. Boost your bottom line when you:

• Increase productivity by reducing maintenance costs, downtime and premature equipment failure
• Shorten payback terms with rebates to offset the cost of improvements
• Waste less compressed air by enhancing staff training and implementing new maintenance procedures — both items are included in your Compressed Air Efficiency study
• Match the correct equipment to your needs, depending on the established baseline of compressed air supply and demand from your Compressed Air Efficiency study
