System Audits

Reduce Costs with an Air Audit

How do you eliminate compressed air energy waste? Call John Henry Foster, St. Louis’ ROI Group and order a Compressed Air System Audit.

Compressed air generally accounts for over 40% of power expenses in manufacturing facilities. Fine – except up to HALF of that air is lost to waste. Leaks, inefficient use, and artificial demand lead the list of waste, but there are other sources as well.

A JHF Systems Audit will help you find and eliminate much of that wasted air. Our compressed air experts will work with you to align your needs with our capabilities.

JHF Air System Assessments set a new standard in compressed air audits.
