Compressed Air Efficiency

Is your compressed air system wasting energy?

Up to 40% Rebate Bonus for projects completed by Nov. 28, 2008. Learn more

A leaky, wasteful or inefficient compressed air system costs you money. One 1/8” hole can cost you up to $2,000 in wasted energy costs each year. Most of the money you spend on your compressed air system is on energy, not equipment, as shown below. Therefore, it makes sense to buy the most-efficient equipment available, and find and fix leaks and waste before they blow your profits.

Compressed Air

Compressed Air Efficiency features two steps to help you identify and implement ways to save on energy for compressed air.

Step 1 – Diagnosis

The study includes:

  • An assessment of operating compressed air systems, including analysis of supply and demand, and airflow and /or electric metering
  • A written report that identifies leaks and waste, and associated energy costs
  • A list of system recommendations, paybacks, rebate opportunities and estimated energy savings
  • Preapproval is required for study funding

Step 2 – Implementation

  • Earn rebates for equipment updates or system improvements that result in lower energy use or higher production from your system
  • Customers who participate in a preapproved Compressed Air Efficiency study or whose system is under 50 horsepower can receive up to $200 per kW saved
  • Customers who choose not to participate in an Xcel Energy-funded study can receive up to $50 per kW saved
  • Preapproval is required prior to equipment purchase and installation

 

We will fund a portion of the study costs: 

Existing horsepower Study funding
Less than 50 hp Not available
50 - 74 hp 100% of study costs up to $2,000
