There are only two options when an electric motor reaches the end of its shelf life: rewind or replace. The negative connotations associated with rewinding have long since been refuted, and with its outdated reputation aside, there are a handful of benefits that come with hiring an electric motor repair professional for their winding services instead of replacing a motor.

Consider these advantages to rewinding if your motor’s time is nearly up:

• Lower Operating Costs: Electric motors don’t come cheap, and the cost of hiring an electric motor repair professional is significantly less expensive than the cost of replacing a motor entirely, saving your business in operating costs. Winding services also might be the only solution for a business that cannot afford to replace an entire motor, which not only keeps a business open and operating but also saves a few workers from possible unemployment due to budget cuts. 
• Improved Electric Motor Efficiency: It is a common myth that rewinding your electric motor will actually decrease its efficiency rather than improve it, but this concept is generally accepted as outdated due to advancement in the materials and engineering used to create electric motors. An expert motor repair service provider can increase a motor’s efficiency by replacing the old or flawed coils with new ones.
• Environmentally Friendly: Because opting for winding services instead of electric motor replacement is essentially recycling, you are minimizing the carbon footprint these machines leave on the earth by reducing the need to manufacture new units. Furthermore, ineffective motors that don’t run at their full capacity use more energy, making them harmful to the environment. Undergoing routine electric motor repair and maintenance will not only benefit the environment but also the efficiency of your motors, which positively impacts a business’s cost of operation.
