Compressed Air · Vacuum · Pump Systems

Your utility will help pay to fix your biggest hidden energy cost.

Compressed air is often 20 to 30 percent of a plant's power bill, and up to a third of it leaks away silently. Across Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, and Missouri, utility incentive programs help fund the fix. Brabazon finds the savings and captures the incentives for you.

How it works

A simple path from free survey to funded upgrade

The same four steps work in every territory. We start where the risk is lowest and climb only as far as the savings justify.

1

Get in at no cost

Start with your utility's free or funded entry point: a leak survey, an engineer's energy model, or a covered audit.

2

Prove the savings

We put a real dollar figure on your compressed air, vacuum, and pump systems, with no obligation.

3

Capture the incentive

We scope the fix and handle the utility paperwork, so the rebate is built around the project.

4

Keep saving

Many programs reset every year. We keep your systems tuned and your savings compounding.

Your territory

Which program fits, by state and utility

We work every major incentive program across our four-state footprint. Here is where each one starts.

IllinoisComEd · Ameren Illinois
ComEdFree way in

Fix It Now finds and repairs air leaks at no charge, and resets every year. VSD and Custom incentives can cover up to 100 percent of larger projects.

Ameren Illinois

VFD incentives on pumps and compressors are the fastest cash back, with Custom electric and gas incentives for larger system work.

WisconsinAlliant · We Energies · Focus on Energy
Alliant EnergyHalf-funded study

The Feasibility Study is 50 percent reimbursed up front, then Custom Rebates pay for compressed air and motor upgrades on the energy you save.

We Energies + Focus on EnergyFree consult

A free consultation opens the door, and statewide Focus on Energy rebates fund the work, open to every Wisconsin customer.

MinnesotaMinnesota Power · Xcel Energy
Minnesota PowerFree modeling

Their engineers model your savings, review plans, and calculate rebates at no cost. Customized Projects then fund the upgrade.

Xcel Energy

Equipment rebates cover VSD and motor upgrades, with a Custom and Process track for system-level air and pump work.

MissouriAmeren Missouri · Evergy
Ameren Missouri (BizSavers)Funded audit

Retro-Commissioning covers the cost of the audit itself for large facilities, then Custom funds some of the largest incentives Ameren pays.

Evergy

The Business Energy Savings custom track fits compressed air, vacuum, and pump VFD projects through a registered trade ally.
