Take advantage of our process and manufacturing program to help your business save energy while improving quality, control, and operational efficiency.
Small Compressed Air Systems
Save energy by replacing a fixed speed air compressor system, with a variable speed system to better match compressor performance with compressed air system requirements.
The Small Compressed Air Systems Calculator estimates energy savings based on user entered inputs of information about your existing and proposed compressed air systems.
Apply now and submit required documents:
- A completed Compressed Air Calculator
- Equipment or contractor invoice (or bid if pre-approval required) showing:
- Equipment manufacturer
- Equipment model number
- Size (horsepower) and quantity installed
- Order or purchase date
- Installed cost
- System specification sheet
Requirements and Specifications
- VFDs applied to a single air compressor or installation of cycling refrigerated air dryers of 150 horsepower (hp) or less. Incentives for air compressors over 150 hp, and for other compressed air savings measures, are available through EWEB's custom incentive program.
- Each VFD compressor must be submitted as an individual project (i.e. compressors may not be combined or divided).
This measure is available for the commercial, industrial and agricultural sectors.

Generator Block Heater
Saves energy by replacing thermosiphon oil heaters, which are electric-resistance heaters without a pump, with forced-circulation heaters, which are electric-resistance heaters with a pump.
Forced-circulation heaters provide better overall block temperature control and reduced extreme temperature swings, possibly extending hose lifetimes, reducing maintenance costs and improving generator reliability.
Apply now and submit required documents:
- A completed Generator Block Heater Form
- Equipment or contractor invoice (or bid if pre-approval required) showing:
- Equipment order or purchase date
- Installed cost
- System specification sheet
Requirements and Specifications
- Retrofit of existing installations and new equipment are both eligible.
Pre-conditions:
- The forced-circulation generator engine block heater must replace a thermosiphon, electric-resistance block heater or be a new block heater; and
- The generator or engine must be stationary and fixed.
Post-condition:
- Installed generator engine block heaters must be forced-circulation heaters.
This measure is available for the commercial, industrial and agricultural sectors.
