What are the benefits of an air audit?
Being unsure of the answers to the questions above, having our sales team organize an air audit for you might be the best starting point for your facility. An air audit can assist with identifying how much CFM, PSI, and power are being used. It can also identify leaks and inefficiencies, ensure system optimization, improve energy reduction, and lead to long-term cost savings.

How do you know what air treatment I need for our plant?
It depends on what type of clean filtration is required for your system and the level of dry air you need. For example, in humid months, you may need to use a dryer so that your end supply air isn’t full of moisture.
Financial Information
How can I get a rebate for decreasing our power?

Then our staff can recommend appropriate changes or equipment upgrades. CompressAir will help assist you with the paperwork required by the energy provider when you submit a rebate request.
