Compressed Air Audits

Compressed air audits can identify opportunities for cost savings and contribute to a more efficient and streamlined operation. Compressed air is known as a significant energy consumer in your plant— if not the largest. Despite its widespread usage in diverse manufacturing applications, it remains the most misunderstood utility and represents a key area for major cost reduction. 

Reduce Compressed Air Costs by 25–50%

Many facilities operate with up to 50% more compressed air horsepower than needed, wasting energy and increasing operating expenses. Harris Equipment’s professional compressed air audits assess:

  • Current flow rates and operating pressure
  • Energy consumption
  • System efficiency and layout

By analyzing these factors, our technicians identify overuse, leaks, and inefficiencies helping plants reduce energy costs by 25–50% and improve overall operations.

Financial Incentives

Utility companies often offer rebates covering 100% of energy study costs. Some also provide funding for energy-saving projects, such as:

  • 50% of project cost covered
  • 12¢ per kilowatt saved per year

These incentives make it easier to invest in efficiency improvements that pay for themselves quickly.
