Repair Shop Selection

Quality is important in any process, and especially in motor repair. If you are buying motor repair you should have a specification that your motor repair vendor can meet. If you are selling motor repair, you should have a documented quality process to meet the increasing energy demands of your customers.

Advanced Energy offers a quality assurance program for motor repair called Proven Efficiency Verification (PEV) that mutually benefits motor repair purchasers and providers.

In the first year, PEV includes a thorough onsite evaluation of the motor service center's ability to maintain efficiency during the repair process. Once completed, before and after repair testing is conducted to validate the motor service center's capabilities.

Current PEV certified motor service centers include:

  • Shermco Industries, Inc. -- Irving, Texas. Has held a valid certificate since 2002. "Realizing the value to our customers of an independent, third-party evaluating our operation," said Scott Meador, vice president of Shermco Industries, "repair processes were modified to meet the PEV certification. Now, when our PEV credentials are presented to the customer, he doesn't second guess his decision regarding repair shop selection. We have found that the smart customer is not driven by the cheapest price, but by the most reliable repair. And the PEV certification provides that comfort level."
  • Hupp Electric Motors, Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Has held a valid certificate since 2000. “We were the first motor service center in the country to get the PEV credentials from Advanced Energy and it has continually paid dividends," said Chuck Rutledge, vice president of Hupp Electric Motors. "Companies that understand the importance of quality motor repair to their bottom line realize they can work with us and improve their process reliability while decreasing their operating expenses. It makes good business sense for them and for us."
  • American Electric Motors, Memphis, TN. Has held a valid certificate since 2008. “A few years ago I decided that American Electric Motors would take another step to be a super high quality motor repair facility. We have accomplished this by aligning with Advanced Energy. Our customers wanted high quality and we are able to give it to them; also new prospects are glad we are in this position,” said Doug Massey, president of AEM.
