Since the establishment of EXAIR in 1983, customer satisfaction has always been the cornerstone of our business model. This may seem like common practice, but here at EXAIR, we like to go the extra mile. We have over a 99.9% on-time delivery with thousands of products in stock. We offer free expert technical help from our Application Engineers, as well as within EXAIR Blog writings and application search library. We have an Efficiency Lab to report on comparison results with safety and compressed air saving. We also offer a 30-day unconditional guarantee on our cataloged products for you to try. So, what more can EXAIR do for you?
Compressors use large amounts of electricity to produce compressed air and are considered the fourth utility in most manufacturing plants. EXAIR manufactures engineered products that can save compressed air and increase energy savings. With that, EXAIR was able to partner with Energy Star. “Energy Star is a government-backed symbol of energy efficiency, helping to save money and to protect the environment through energy-efficient products and practices.” This commitment by EXAIR to reducing energy, increasing safety for workers, and protecting the environment for future generations are effective ways to sustain a business value.
When large amounts of energy can be saved, electricity-producing companies take notice. Electrical suppliers started a rebate program for using engineered nozzles in their facilities. Similar to other energy-saving rebates, like LED light bulbs and high-efficiency furnaces, the EXAIR engineered nozzles now fall into that same category. If your electrical provider supports this program, the total cost to purchase and implement the EXAIR Super Air Nozzles is greatly reduced. Even if a rebate program has not yet been implemented in your area, the idea of saving energy makes it very practical and environmentally sound.
The NC Clean Energy Technology Center created a website to consolidate all the electrical companies that offer rebates for efficient products and programs. The website is www.dsireusa.org. “DSIRE is the most comprehensive source of information on incentives and policies that support renewable and energy efficiency in the United States.” EXAIR engineered products fall into this category, so if a rebate can be applied to our products, it will be located on that site.
Another energy-saving tip from Energy Star refers to waste from leaks. They recommend a leak prevention program to help improve energy savings. As part of that program, EXAIR does offer an Ultrasonic Leak Detector. To tell a common success story about the Ultrasonic Leak Detector, an EXAIR customer had a 50-horsepower air compressor. It started to overwork, overheat, and occasionally shut down. They thought that they would need to buy a larger air compressor to keep the plant running. In discussing that a company without a leak prevention program could have as much as 30% waste, they decided to purchase an Ultrasonic Leak Detector. They checked every fitting and connection in the facility. When they finished checking the compressed air system, they found a total of 91 leaks. Not only did this save on energy waste, but it also saved money by fixing the leaks and not expanding the capital expenses in the company.
With EXAIR being backed by Energy Star, EPA, and rebate programs, together, we can save energy, improve the environment, and reduce compressed air usage. If you would like to discuss how EXAIR can work for you, you can contact an EXAIR Application Engineer.
