Greetings!


Atlas Electric Motor Service and Sales provides this monthly newsletter to help inform you about the trends in electric motor service and repair.  We keep informed by discussing industry trends with other professionals, participating in the Electrical Apparatus Service Association (EASA) and reviewing periodicals that provide our industry important information. 

This month we will share with you an article from Electrical Apparatus Magazine.  This article discusses the difficult decision whether to repair or replace an electric motor.  

As always, if you have any electric motor service or sales needs, please contact us at 859-485-7870.   

 

Sincerely,

When a motor fails, the user must decide whether to repair it or to replace it with a newer one. The choice is not a simple one. It should be based on more than a comparison of repair cost with the price of a new motor.

 

Because a replacement often offers higher efficiency, the actual load should be known. A single average kilowatt-hour cost won't indicate the true energy cost for a motor operating at different times of day, or a varying load.

 

Users often encounter claims that the latest motor designs are more reliable because of larger or "motor quality" bearings, better insulation, or other benefits of rapid technological innovation. In fact, inverter-duty wire, epoxy insulation, and many other features common in today's motors have been in common use for decades. Most are readily available and widely used in repairs as well.

Thank you for 20 years of business!

Atlas Electric Service and Sales has been in business since 1993.  To celebrate, we're including quotes from satisfied customers over the next several months. 

"We've worked with Larry and Atlas since 2005 for preventative maintenance on pumps for attractions at the Aquatic Center as well as sewer pumps. We like that they're a local business, our neighbor, and know that if we have an emergency, they'll be there to help quickly. Larry is very cordial and has always taken good care of us."
