Energy costs – both supply and demand side – are rising at an unprecedented rate. As a result, bottom line margins and profits are severely affected. Many corporations and owners have addressed the energy supply side to try and lower costs. However, many more have never seriously considered addressing the demand side costs. The rapidly changing economics of energy now compel companies to take immediate action to reduce these demand side costs. Reducing energy consumption is only one potential way of reducing demand side costs.

Quest products facilitate facility management personnel in making strategic decisions that can positively affect virtually ALL demand side costs, not just by reducing energy consumption. Energy is a “hard” cost. The “soft” costs are more subjective, but very real. They can often justify the investment without even considering energy. The Quest specialized site solutions also include helping Customers:

• Improve quality
• Lessen maintenance costs
• Increase productivity
• Extend the life of critical and expensive operating equipment
• Improve product safety
• Reduce potential liability
• Cut repair and unscheduled site visits by 3rd party contractors

As an example, what happens when critical operating equipment fails? Expensive, unplanned repair and labor cost occurs. The potential exists for revenue disruption because of equipment failures. Safety may be compromised. Customer satisfaction and loyalty are at risk. Recovery becomes an expensive proposition and can be hours – if not days – away. So, it is vital that management be constantly aware of the condition of their valuable assets and be able to take action immediately or even before a major problem exists. Monitoring, controlling and sending alarms for exceptions to normal conditions at the site are not only critical, but have a very FAST PAYBACK.

In addition to the above, industry downsizing, the need to put more efforts towards capturing a larger Customer base, higher Customer Service demands and a very cost conscience, competitive marketplace demand that both hard and soft costs be addressed – NOW. QUEST AUTOMATION IS THE SOLUTION. Reliable, low cost product and installation, and an excellent reputation for Customer service and individual attention are what Quest Controls, Inc. is as a company.
