I hear a lot about getting a compressed air system audit. What can I expect to pay for a compressed air audit and what are the typical outcomes?
In many compressed air installations there are significant energy saving solutions that can be realized. The best way to satisfy production needs while minimizing operational running costs is through the employment of energy and air consultants who perform compressed air system audits.
Atlas Copco offers AIRScan audits that range from basic inspections to a full audit survey. The cost will depend on the customers’ needs and expectations. By first understanding the customers’ needs, audits can be tailored to each customer’s requirements, helping to minimize the investment outlay.
The price for a compressed air system audit can range from $2,500 to $20,000 depending on the depth of the audit. In all instances, an audit should highlight recommendations that improve system efficiency and reliability to ultimately lead to reduced operational costs.
As for outcomes, typical savings range from 30% to 50% reduction in operating costs if the customer implements all of the audit suggestions. These changes will then result in ongoing energy savings and increased profits. And, who can say no to that?
