"Energy
Management isn't easy, but it can be efficient."
Power Down has designed a full service plan that not only reduces costs and obtains refunds
now, but also prepares you for the future.
Power Down has the services and software that will help you control
your energy and maintenance costs.
Consider This:
Energy costs money, profit dollars, and each day you do nothing
affects your bottom line. Efficient operation of equipment also reduces maintenance expense and increases asset value.
Once those dollars are spent, or energy consumed unnecessarily, that money is gone forever and can never be
recovered.
We may be able to help you now. But without completing the first two phases of our
program, the real potential is a complete unknown. If you're before tax profit is 5.5%, then every $1,000 you reduce expenses represents
over $18,000 in sales.
Would it be
beneficial for you to know the condition of your rotating equipment and identify problems
before total equipment failure? Loose parts, misalign
equipment, or bad bearings in equipment can waste from ½ to 5 percent of the equipment
energy costs. Identification of problems in the equipment, before complete failure, can
prevent costly down time and reduce expensive repair or replacement of the equipment.
Further, most companies do not stock essential equipment spares.
Many companies express that they are
too busy right now to deal with reducing energy costs. Consider the following:


















- You are using energy every minute of
every day. If you are wasting energy, you are wasting energy every minute of every day.
This waste could be from 5 to 20 percent of your monthly utility bill.
- We have the expertise and experience
to do what you do not have time to do.
- By using us, you may reduce energy
and maintenance costs with very little of your time invested or used.
- Our total services could provide immediate pay back and our fees are
probable less than you would pay a secretary.
- The identified savings could be used
to fund additional cost reduction projects.
- Since we are not performance based,
our services are fee based, you keep all savings.
- If we identify problems that increase
your maintenance costs and repair time, this will free up more of your time to work on
other projects.
Within 3 days of the initial
engagement, you will know where you stand and what services will best benefit your
company. However, let me ask
you two questions.
Have you
ever metered your facility or equipment? Without metering, you do not know what
your power quality issues are and if your power quality is causing you to waste energy.
Further, you do not know when and how much energy you are using, at what time. This
information may enable you to control your demand.
Have you
ever had an Infrared inspection on your facility? The National Association of
Insurance Underwriters recommends that you do this annually. This service will identify
poor electrical connections, problems with motors/bearings and heat loss in the building
envelope. There are other areas that can also be identified which could provide benefits
to your company.



















When was
the last time you "Tuned-up" your gas fired appliances? Gas fired
equipment that has not been tuned seasonally can be wasting up to 40% of the natural gas
consumed.
Would your
company capitalize $50,000 or more in equipment, tools, and information gathering
equipment to test and gather essential operational data? It would take from 5
to 10 years of our service fees to pay for the capitalized equipment to gather this
essential data.
Since our initial service is
risk-free, you have nothing to loose and we can complete the initial phases of our program
in 1day and the next two phases in 10 days. What do you have to loose?
We can, at least, tell you if you
have opportunities that will benefit your company without negatively impacting your
operations. Everyone can reduce usage and demand, but can they do it efficiently and
effectively without negatively impacting your current operations is only a guess. Every
company should follow the steps outlined above in order to evaluate what options are
available to them because every facility is as different as a set of fingerprints.
