Motor Rebate Program
When it comes to motors, we all love a show of power. The trick is combining that with a show of smarts. To help make it happen, we’re pleased to promote energy efficiency by offering rebates to customers who buy high-efficiency 25 hp motors. In Arkansas, for every high-efficiency 25 hp motor you install, we’ll offer an instant rebate of $171 through partnering motor distributors. In Oklahoma, when replacing a 10 hp through 100 hp motor with a NEMA premium motor, there is an instant rebate of $5 per hp. For more information, call:

High-Efficiency Motor Overview
In order to understand what a motor really costs your business, compare initial purchase price with the cost of the electricity used over its working lifetime. For most motors this initial price represents only a small percent of its lifetime cost.
Electricity accounts for the majority of total operating costs. That’s why a few percentage points of higher efficiency can quickly reduce long-term costs. Consider the following:
- Electric motor-driven systems used in industrial processes consume about 63% of all electricity used in U.S. industry.
- In 1992, the Energy Policy Act established minimum efficiency standards for industrial electric motors built after October 1997, yet only about 10% of all motors in use today comply with these minimums.
- Industrial motor electricity consumption could be reduced by up to 18% if companies apply proven efficiency technologies and practices.
