The future of energy efficiency
Maximise energy savings and lower costs with Variable Speed Drive compressors
At Nessco Pressure Systems, we recognise that efficient air solutions are essential for your business. As a WA-owned and operated company, we specialise in offering advanced Variable Speed Drive (VSD) compressors tailored to meet the unique demands of your operations.
What is Variable Speed Drive?
Variable Speed Drive (VSD) is an advanced technology used in compressors that helps businesses reduce energy wastage and improve efficiency.
Every year, Australian businesses lose valuable energy due to outdated or poorly maintained compressed air systems. The good news is that VSD compressors can help solve this problem.
VSD compressors are designed to automatically adjust their output based on your exact air demand. Unlike traditional systems that run at a constant speed, VSD units continuously monitor and maintain system pressure within a narrow band, ensuring optimal performance without wasting energy. This flexibility not only boosts efficiency but also helps reduce energy costs, making VSD compressors a smart, cost-effective choice for any business looking to improve their operations.
By investing in a correctly-sized VSD compressor, you ensure that your compressed air system operates efficiently and effectively, cutting down on unnecessary energy loss and increasing overall savings.
Why choose VSD compressors?
Energy efficiency
Our VSD compressors adjust their output based on your operational load, ensuring you only use the energy you need. This leads to significant reductions in energy consumption and costs, especially for larger operations.
Cost savings
Investing in a VSD compressor can result in rapid financial savings. By replacing older, inefficient stop-start compressors with VSDs, businesses can quickly recover their investment through lower energy bills. Plus, the potential for the Federal Government $20,000 tax offset (available until the end of 2024/25) makes upgrading to a VSD compressor even more cost-effective.
Environmental impact
Every year, Australian businesses waste a significant amount of energy through inefficient compressed air systems. By switching to a VSD compressor, you’re not just saving money—you’re also reducing your environmental footprint.
Benefits of VSD compressors
A Variable Speed Drive compressor is built to respond to your unique operational requirements. Unlike conventional fixed-speed models, a VSD compressor automatically adjusts its output to align with changing air demand, maximising efficiency and reducing energy consumption.
This adaptability provides several advantages for your business, including:
Reduced energy consumption
Tailored output means you only use the energy your operations require across the day.
Quieter operations
Lower revolutions per minute (RPM) results in a quieter work environment.
Consistent plant pressure
VSDs maintain optimal pressure, extending the lifespan of your compressed air system components.
Lower maintenance costs
Less wear and tear leads to easier and most cost-effective maintenance.
Low inrush current during motor starts
The inrush current during startup is significantly reduced for VSDs because the motor speed ramps up gradually.
Compact Design
VSDs offer a complete solution that fits seamlessly into your workspace.

Tax deductions available for new VSD compressors
Don’t miss out on the Federal Government’s tax offset for energy efficient assets
The Small Business Energy Incentive, passed by Federal Parliament on 25 June 2024, provides a bonus 20 per cent tax deduction on eligible assets that support electrification and more efficient energy use, provided they were first used or installed between 1 July 2024 and 30 June 2025.
What does the energy efficient tax offset mean for your business?
This incentive means that if you install a new, energy-efficient compressed air system, you may be able to access a tax deduction. Up to $100,000 of total expenditure is eligible for this incentive, with the maximum bonus tax deduction being $20,000.

Your VSD compressor questions answered
We understand that choosing the right compressor is a big decision for your business.
To help you make an informed choice, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most common questions about Variable Speed Drive compressors. Whether you’re curious about energy and cost savings, the long-term benefits of VSD technology or the tax incentives available for investing in more energy efficient assets, this section provides information to guide you in the right direction.
What is a Variable Speed Drive compressor?
A Variable Speed Drive (VSD) compressor is designed to adapt to your specific operational needs. Unlike traditional fixed-speed compressors, a VSD compressor adjusts its output to match the fluctuating demand for compressed air, ensuring optimal efficiency and minimising energy waste.
This flexibility offers a range of benefits for your business, including:
- Reduced energy consumption: By delivering only the air your operations require, VSD compressors significantly cut energy use — particularly in applications with variable demand.
- Quieter operations: Running at lower RPMs when demand is low reduces noise, creating a quieter and more comfortable work environment.
- Consistent plant pressure: VSD compressors maintain steady pressure levels, extending the lifespan of critical system components.
- Lower maintenance costs: Less wear and tear on parts means reduced maintenance costs.
- Low inrush current: The gradual motor startup minimises strain on your system and reduces power surges.
- Compact design: VSD compressors are a space-saving solution that integrates efficiently into your operations.
How much can I save with a Variable Speed Drive compressor?
The savings you can achieve by investing in a VSD compressor depend on your specific application and air demand requirements. However, businesses that switch to VSD technology often report substantial reductions in energy costs, making it a worthwhile investment.
By adjusting the compressor’s output to match your exact operational needs, VSD compressors eliminate unnecessary energy consumption. In fact, they can reduce energy usage by 30% or more, especially in applications with fluctuating air demand. Over time, these energy savings can significantly offset the initial purchase price, resulting in a fast return on investment (ROI).
But the financial benefits don’t stop there. Lower energy usage can also reduce the load on your system, leading to lower maintenance costs and a longer lifespan for your equipment. Additionally, you may be eligible to take advantage of the Federal Government’s 20% tax offset for energy-efficient assets, making the switch to a VSD compressor even more cost-effective.
