Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve answered some of the most common queries to help you better understand our process, standards, and how we keep your systems running smoothly and safely.
A Steam Efficiency Audit is a thorough evaluation of your steam system’s performance, identifying inefficiencies, energy losses, and potential savings. It’s crucial for reducing operating costs, improving safety, and enhancing system reliability.
We recommend a Steam Efficiency Audit annually or after significant system modifications, upgrades, or changes in production levels. Regular audits help maintain peak performance, reduce energy costs, and extend the life of your equipment.
An audit identifies opportunities to reduce fuel consumption, eliminate energy waste, and optimise steam distribution. Many clients see energy savings of 10-30% after implementing our recommendations, resulting in significant cost reductions over time.
Yes, following the audit, we provide a detailed report outlining all findings, including inefficiencies, potential savings, recommended improvements, and compliance suggestions. This documentation can be used for ongoing monitoring and compliance tracking.
Yes, there are several government grants and rebates available in South Australia and across Australia that can assist with steam efficiency audits and related energy efficiency improvements.
