Energy Cost and Payback Calculator

This calculator provides you valuable information in a number of scenarios:
  1. Calculates the annual energy cost associated with running your existing air compressor or an air compressor you are thinking about purchasing.
  2. Calculates the possible energy savings by comparing your existing air compressor to an air compressor you are thinking about purchasing.
  3. Calculates the possible energy savings and a Return on Investment by comparing two air compressors you are thinking about purchasing.
Simply fill out the information below:
  1. Brake Horsepower - Can be found in the techincal specs of the air compressor or by contacting your sales representative.
  2. Operating Hours - The average number of hours you expect to run your air compressor annually (be sure to include all shifts).
  3. Power Rate - This is how much you are paying for electricity.
  4. Motor Efficiency - Can be found in the techincal specs of the air compressor or by contacting your sales representative.
  5. Initial Compressor Cost - This is only applicable if you are comparing two air compressors you are thinking about purchasing (used to calculate Return on Investment).
