Saving money with energy efficient motors

Replacing motors to save energy

Guide

Buying new and more efficient equipment is an excellent way to improve energy performance. When you look at the whole-life costs, replacing a motor is often more cost-effective than rewinding an existing motor because rewound motors are up to five per cent less energy-efficient.

Higher-efficiency single-speed motors don't cost much more to buy than standard-efficiency models but they use up to five per cent less energy.

Multiple-speed motors are a little more expensive to buy than single-speed motors but they can improve energy efficiency. They have up to four fixed-speed settings, which means that you can save energy by not having to use a transmission system.
