Compressor inspection
- Pressure settings and controls
- Start/stop frequency and rapid cycling
- VSD performance and mechanical condition
- Air intake, service history, and operating hours
Stop guessing.
Start measuring.
Uncover wasted energy, improve reliability, and identify utility-funded project opportunities with a system assessment grounded in real operating data.
Funding may reduce or cover the cost of the study.
Many audits and leak studies can be partially or fully funded through energy-efficiency programs. Qualification and incentive availability depend on the facility and serving utility.

Compressed air waste is expensive.
Leaks, excessive pressure, poor controls, inadequate storage, malfunctioning equipment, and deferred maintenance can quietly waste thousands of dollars every year.
Excessive energy consumption
Hidden air leaks
Compressor short cycling
Poor sequencing and compressor fighting
Artificial demand and excessive pressure
Dryer, filtration, and pressure-drop issues
Reliability and maintenance risks
Capacity constraints and equipment nearing failure
What Makes CFM-IQ Different?
We Know Compressors.
Many energy consultants focus only on utility incentives and not your needs. CFM-IQ starts with understanding the equipment. Our recommendations are built around system reliability, maintenance, production requirements, and energy savings, not just rebate dollars.
Recommendations built around the equipment and the operation.
CFM-IQ combines compressor expertise, field inspection, system analysis, and advanced data logging. Reliability, maintenance, and production requirements carry as much weight as energy savings and rebate dollars.
Air treatment inspection
- Dryer performance, sizing, and dew point capability
- Filter condition and differential pressure
- Moisture management and zero-loss drain opportunities
- Drain failures and environmental compliance observations
System infrastructure
- Wet and dry storage assessment
- Receiver sizing and piping condition
- Pressure-drop evaluation
- Future expansion capability
Measure how the system actually operates.
Industrial-grade monitoring captures flow, pressure, power, energy consumption, runtime, demand profiles, and efficiency across real production conditions.
Analytics delivered
- Peak demand and capacity analysis
- Specific power calculations
- Energy cost baseline and performance benchmarking
- Pressure profile analysis
- Weekend and off-shift demand
- Production vs. non-production demand
Hidden losses become measurable savings.
Leaks waste energy around the clock and are often among the fastest-payback opportunities in a plant. Using ultrasonic detection equipment, we locate, tag, and quantify each leak, calculate annual energy cost, prioritize repairs, and deliver a complete leak database.
