HESCO Offers Free Lighting Audits -
Let Us Help you Save 25-40% in Lighting Energy Costs

Energy costs have increased over 11% as of the beginning of the New Year. 
Here is a simple way to reduce costs significantly and put money back in your pocket.  

HESCO now offers the lowest energy consuming 4-foot T8 lamp on the market with the 25W T8 from Philips.  Standard T8 Fluorescent lamps are 32W so switching to the 25W lamp offers a 7-Watt reduction which translates up to a 25% energy savings. 

If you are still using T12 lamps or magnetic ballasts read this!  Replacing existing F34T12 magnetic systems with ALTO Energy Advantage 25W T8 lamps on instant start ballasts, results in an energy savings of up to 60-Watts per fixture!  That's approximately 40% energy savings.  

Give us a call and schedule a free lighting audit.  HESCO will send our Lighting Specialist to your facility to examine your existing system.  Using our Energy Savings Calculator, he will show you how much you will save annually and over the life of the lamp.  His recommendations and suggestions will greatly decrease your energy costs.

MRO Asset Protection - brought to you by HESCO and Ferraz Shawmut

  • Improve Safety
  • Safeguard Equipment
  • Cut Downtime
  • Contain Costs

What type of fuses do you stock?  Are any obsolete or no longer used?  How can you improve production while you decrease you inventory?

Our fuse analysis will answer all these questions, yet it involves very little of your time and effort.  Simply
provide HESCO with electronic files of your fuse inventory and annual usage. Our technical experts will
analyze the data with proprietary Fuse Usage & Storeroom Evaluation software. The result is a comprehensive, often eye-opening, report that forms the foundation of your MRO Asset Protection Program.

With Ferraz-Shawmut's new Smart Spot finding an open fuse has never been easier.

Speed up Fuse replacement and avoid guesswork. A unique, solid-body design and advanced material technology senses when a fuse opens, then turns from silver to eye-catching red.

The SmartSpot offers contractors, MROs, and electrical industry professionals a convenient and cost-effective means of quickly and safely locating and replacing open fuses. SmartSpot activates a bright red spot to prominently and permanently indicate that the fuse is open. And unlike competitive products, Ferraz Shawmut's SmartSpot maintains the fuse's existing structural integrity - boasting unimpeded performance with the benefit of enhanced capabilities.

DIN Rail Utility Box
A labor saving way to provide utility power to any control cabinet

Installing the DIN Rail Utility Box is as easy as snapping the box onto a 35mm DIN Rail and connecting the line, neutral and ground wires to the terminal block. Utility power for fans, lights, laptop computers, testers or any other need is now at your disposal. If load limiting is a concern, Hubbell's "CB" version comes with a 5 Amp circuit breaker that provides over-current protection to make sure large loads are not drawn from the DIN Rail Utility Box. All Hubbell DIN Rail Utility Boxes may be mounted either vertically or horizontally on the DIN Rail; the "H" version comes with the terminal block mounted for easy wiring when the DIN Rail Utility Box is mounted horizontally.

Panduit Introduces PANDUCT® Type FL - Flexible Wiring Duct
Panduit Corp., announces the introduction of new PANDUCT® Type FL - Flexible Wiring Duct for control panel applications requiring both flexible wire routing and maximum wire protection. The versatile duct may be twisted in virtually any way required without breaking or cracking.

The new Flexible Wiring Duct features a novel one-piece design, with offset fingers that extend from the sides to the top of the duct. These fingers effectively enclose and secure any wires or cables with no duct cover requirement. By facilitating the addition or removal of wires after termination without special tools, or cover removal, the duct's finger design make it convenient for applications requiring frequent access to wiring.

The new duct's remarkable flexibility makes it particularly useful for routing wires from control panel back planes and side walls, over hinges, and to components mounted on control panel doors. The duct is also available with adhesive backing, making it ideal for wiring push buttons and selector switches on conventional control panels.

Flexible Wiring Duct is available in three sizes with adhesive backing. It is manufactured from a low-smoke, halogen free polypropylene material and carries a UL94V-0 flammability rating and CSA approval             .
