A streamlined and efficient compressed air system can give your business the edge it needs to succeed!

As a compressed air equipment provider, we know firsthand the importance of optimizing efficiency in air systems. After all, it means less energy consumption, less maintenance, and ultimately, more cost savings.

We’re constantly looking for ways to help our customers save time and money. That’s why our experienced team at Air Mac offers the benefits of air system audits and consulting.

Here’s how it works!

Air Mac Audits are a GOOD thing

So, what is an air system audit? It’s kind of like going to the doctor for a check-up. When we do an audit, we examine the whole system to make sure every part is working the way it should be. We look at everything from the air compressor itself to the hoses, filters, valves, and overall application.

Our team identifies inefficiencies, leaks, or other issues that could be causing excessive energy consumption and costing your business money. We can pinpoint the areas that need improvement and recommend solutions to help you save energy, reduce maintenance costs, and increase productivity.

One of the most common ways to improve efficiency in air systems is to reduce leaks. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, up to 30% of compressed air in industrial systems is lost to leaks. A simple leak detection and repair program can potentially save thousands of dollars annually. Our years of experience and state-of-the-art equipment allow us to pinpoint leaks and determine the best course of action to fix them!

Why would I need an audit?

Better efficiency isn’t the only benefit that comes with routine audits and maintenance. You can also see results like:

  1. Increased Productivity: When your air systems are running efficiently, your equipment operates more effectively, thus increasing productivity. Fewer equipment breakdowns, reduced maintenance costs, and less downtime will ultimately help protect your bottom line.
  2. Compliance with Regulations: Many businesses are subject to strict regulations regarding air quality and emissions. Ensuring that your air systems meet these regulations helps avoid fines and legal issues. An air systems audit can identify any areas where you may be falling short and provide solutions to bring your systems up to code.
  3. Improved Safety: Faulty air systems can present safety hazards to your employees and customers. A thorough audit can identify any potential safety issues and provide solutions to avoid these risks.
  4. Longevity of Equipment: Over time, air systems can wear down and become less efficient, which can lead to costly repairs or equipment replacement. Your equipment will last longer and require fewer repairs and replacements when routinely audited and maintained.

How does consulting work?

Consulting usually follows an audit where our experts recommend changes to your air system based on the data gathered during the audit. Recommendations could be anything from upgrading equipment to modifying usage patterns. The goal is always to improve energy efficiency and contribute to a more sustainable operation.

Reducing energy consumption not only helps your bottom line, but it also reduces your carbon footprint. Being environmentally conscious is more important than ever for small and large companies – and the manufacturing industry as a whole.
