Compressed Air Leak Audits: The Hidden $25,000+ Energy Drain You Can Eliminate Now
At Energy Design Engineers (EDE), we help companies uncover one of the most overlooked and expensive forms of energy waste: compressed air leaks.
Whether you’re operating a 60,000 sq. ft. facility or managing a 250,000 sq. ft. plant, compressed air is likely costing you more than it should, simply due to leaks you can’t see or hear.
The Numbers Don’t Lie
- For facilities under 100,000 sq. ft., we regularly find 50+ leaks,
- For those over 100,000 sq. ft., it’s common to find 60 to 135 leaks.
Each leak we find has an average annual energy cost of $500. That means:
- A smaller plant could be losing $25,000+ annually
- A larger facility may be leaking $30,000–$67,500 or more every year
And most facilities have no idea.
How EDE Finds & Fixes Leaks
Our ultrasonic leak audits utilize advanced sensors to detect leaks that are invisible or inaudible to the naked eye—even in loud production environments.
What you get with an EDE leak audit:
- A detailed and comprehensive report details finances, carbon reduction, and leak volumes
- A photo of each leak and location
- Each leak is tagged
- Recommendations for changes in your compressor room to make it more efficient
- A report for maintenance to use and check off leaks as they are repaired
- A detailed list of all leaks and their values
Why It Matters Now More Than Ever
Compressed air is one of the most expensive utilities in your plant, and it’s often the most mismanaged. Leaks increase compressor run time, drive up electric bills, and shorten equipment life.
EDE audits have helped dozens of companies:
1. Cut annual energy waste by tens of thousands of dollars
2. Defer compressor replacement by reducing run hours
3. Improve production reliability
