Switch off air compressors and associated equipment

When your compressor is idling, it’s still using between 20-70% of the energy that it uses when operating at full load.[1]

This is a good reason to ensure that your air compressors and associated equipment are always turned off at the end of the working day.

Where possible, put your air compressor equipment on timers to ensure that it’s only on when needed. If your team has lunch at the same time, turn it off at lunchtime too.

Energy costs involved in running a compressed air system can be more than 70% of a system’s total cost over its lifetime.[2]
