It's critical to plan ahead. Don't wait until your motors break down. A motor that is maintained and operating efficiently reduces downtime, increases reliability and boosts productivity. Motor systems account for approximately 60% to 70% of the total electricity used in a facility. Additionally, equipment purchases can represent about 2% of your motor expense while the other 98% is operating costs - the area that gives you the most opportunity to realize efficiencies.

As a business electricity customer, you can receive rebates for new motors, motor upgrades, variable/adjustable drives and custom projects that offset your critical first cost.
