Rental Math
Whether the estimates add up to the rental’s $2,500 a month, and what the rest of the case rests on.
The six-month rental costs $15,000: about $2,500 a month, with no obligation to buy. Put in the bill and loss estimates from the tools above, add anything you can document yourself, and see how much of the rental they cover. The rest of the case is capacity, heat and equipment life, which the survey documents and this page does not price. The six months exist to replace all of these estimates with your own meter.
Your numbers
From Power-Factor Cost. Zero if your rate schedule has no clause.
From Capacity and Losses.
Your figure, not ours: a service upgrade you would defer, repairs you expect to avoid, downtime. The engineering report helps you document it; this page does not estimate it.
Leave blank unless we have quoted you. It turns the annual value into a simple payback.
Results
Nothing to count yet.
Run Power-Factor Cost and Capacity and Losses first, or enter a figure of your own. If your rate schedule has no power-factor clause and you have no loss estimate, the case for the rental is capacity, heat and reliability, which a survey documents.
How this is calculated
Annual value is the three lines added together; monthly is a twelfth of it. Coverage is the monthly value divided by the rental’s $2,500 a month. Simple payback is the purchase quote divided by the annual value.
Assumptions
- The rental is a test, not the long-term price of the equipment; purchase and lease terms are quoted after the six months.
- Only the first two lines are estimates from this site; the third is yours.
- Nothing here prices capacity, heat, harmonics, downtime or equipment life.
Estimates from your inputs and the formulas shown. They are not a ruling from your utility, a design or a guarantee. A survey and the six-month rental measure the real thing on your own meter.
