DIRECTAIR® Provides Contractors & Engineers a Competitive Advantage

The Future of Compressed Air in Manufacturing Facilities
As the largest utility compressed air provider in North America, we have delivered tens of millions of hours of clean, worry-free air to nearly 300 facilities over the past 30+ years.
In today’s highly competitive and budget-conscious production facility construction environment, general contractors and engineering firms face unprecedented challenges.
They must select the highest quality, most reliable, and cost-effective compressed air solutions to meet their clients’ manufacturing needs while preventing costly construction delays and budget overruns.
Partnering with DIRECTAIR® offers distinct competitive advantages to both general contractors and engineering firms at every stage of the bidding process for manufacturing construction projects.

What is DIRECTAIR®?
DIRECTAIR® customers benefit from our FOURTH UTILITYSM compressed air model, the air they use. Similar to how a manufacturing facility pays for utilities like electricity, gas, and water, DIRECTAIR® customers receive clean, dry air for a fixed monthly rate based on usage.
Our team designs, manufactures, installs, operates, repairs, and maintains compressed air systems for their facility. There is no capital expense for the customer since DIRECTAIR® owns and maintains the equipment at all times.

Frequently Asked Questions
Industrial air compressors require contractors and engineers to purchase, install, and maintain their own equipment, which adds upfront costs and ongoing maintenance responsibilities. Compressed air as a utility works like electricity or water service - you pay for the air you use, and DIRECTAIR® owns, operates, and maintains the equipment. This eliminates capital expenses, reduces downtime risk, and ensures consistent air quality for your projects.
Contact DIRECTAIR® to arrange a consultation. A specialized air expert will assess your project needs and design a tailored, ultra-clean compressed-air utility solution.
