Compressed Air for Finance Directors
You do not need to understand compressed air. You need predictable costs, clear invoicing, and data that tells you whether spend is appropriate for your estate size.
What Finance Directors See on the P&L
Unpredictable maintenance spend
Reactive callouts, emergency hire, overtime, parts at retail prices. Your compressed air line item varies wildly quarter to quarter with no way to forecast accurately.
No context for whether spend is appropriate
Is your annual compressed air maintenance cost high, low, or about right for your estate size and sector? Without benchmarks, you cannot assess whether you are getting value.
Capex decisions without proper financial modelling
Your engineering team wants a new compressor. Is repair more cost effective? What is the payback from energy savings? You need the financial case, not just the technical recommendation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the fixed price calculated?
We price per compressor based on type, size, age, and required service interval. The price includes labour, travel, and all standard consumables (filters, oil, separators). No hidden extras. The price is fixed for the contract term.
What cost savings should we expect from consolidation?
Savings come from three areas: reduced breakdown frequency, lower energy waste, and eliminated admin time. Our benchmark report quantifies each area based on your specific estate before you commit.
Do you provide capex business cases for the board?
Yes. When a compressor needs replacing, we provide a full financial case: current repair trajectory, energy comparison (old vs new), total cost of ownership, payback period, and ROI. Formatted for board-level review.
How does your billing work?
Fixed price per compressor, billed 4-weekly (13 billing cycles per year). One consolidated invoice per billing period covering all sites. Line items by location and cost centre for your accounts team.
