How does the cost of KAirFree compare to ownership?
If you know the volume of air you need and the average annual operating hours, you can calculate the costs of purchasing and paying for service versus KAirFree. However, this calculation does not account for additional benefits of KAirFree, such as more predictable cash flow, downtime insurance, remote monitoring, less administration time, and flexibility to adjust compressor size as needed. Generally, if you run the compressor less than 2,000 hours annually, the overall cost for KAirFree is lower than purchasing the compressor and paying for preventive maintenance and repair services over the life of the compressor. Most 5 to 20 hp compressor owners operate far less than 2,000 hours annually. With KAirFree, you are paying for the resource as you use it instead of a larger upfront cost plus pay-as-you-go service costs. Additionally, people typically buy a larger compressor than needed, with future growth in mind, further increasing costs associated with purchase, service, and energy consumption.
