Enerac

What Enerac does

Enerac is a privately held, family-run manufacturer of portable hand-held combustion, emission, and gas analyzers, founded in 1979 in Holbrook, New York. The company invented the first portable electronic gas analyzer in the world and operates a custom-built, Made-in-USA production model with metal-case construction and field-replaceable sensors. Its portfolio is anchored by three current product lines — the Enerac 500 (entry-level combustion efficiency analyzer using standard electrochemical sensors), the Enerac 700 (compliance-level emissions analyzer built around proprietary SEM dual-range sensors with temperature control and sample conditioning), and the Enerac 700AV (5-gas analyzer for automotive and mobile engine applications). Enerac also maintains service and parts support for legacy analyzers (series 3000, 2000, 200EX, 400X) dating back to the company's founding.

The business model is hardware sales with associated service revenue: units are sold via a quote-based, custom-configured pricing model through direct phone sales, a website e-commerce channel, and a global network of regional sales representatives covering the USA, Mexico/Latin America, Africa, Asia, Canada, and Oceania. Enerac generates recurring aftermarket revenue from sensor replacement, calibration, firmware upgrades, and trade-ins, and offers financing options and free loaner units during service. The free Enercom Windows software enables data management, plotting, and reporting, with multi-unit support and custom fuel programming.

The company serves industrial and commercial combustion-source operators across diverse verticals — including boiler operators, automotive and truck service, asphalt plants, hospitals, refineries, mining operations, heat-treating facilities, and utilities — primarily for combustion efficiency tuning, fuel optimization, and emissions compliance reporting to EPA, state, and local regulatory agencies. It also serves as a backup monitoring tool for utility-compliant Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS). Customer-facing technical and service contacts (Bill Dascal Jr., Russ Drago) are publicly listed, reflecting a hands-on, personalized service culture that the company positions as a core differentiator.

Revenue model

1. Portable Combustion/Emission Analyzers: Enerac generates revenue through the sale of portable combustion, emission, and gas analyzers (Models 500, 700, 700AV) and their associated accessories, sensors, probes, and firmware upgrades. Customers can purchase online, request quotes, or work with regional sales representatives.
2. Sensor and Option Upgrades: Existing customers can upgrade their analyzers by adding new sensors and options over time to the same unit. The company also provides trade-in allowances on old analyzers.
3. Service and Support: Revenue generated from servicing and supporting all products ever manufactured by Enerac since 1979, including sensor replacement, calibrations, and repairs.
4. Financing: The company offers financing options for customers who prefer payment plans over upfront purchases.

Core offering

Enerac designs, manufactures, and services portable handheld combustion, emission, and gas analyzers used to measure combustion efficiency and monitor stack gases (O2, CO, NO/NO2/NOx, SO2, CO2, hydrocarbons, stack temperature, draft) at industrial and mobile combustion sources. The current line centers on the Enerac 500 (entry-level combustion efficiency analyzer) and Enerac 700/700AV (compliance-level emissions analyzers with proprietary SEM sensors), complemented by sensor/probe accessories, calibration services, and the free Enercom Windows software.

Product overview

Enerac manufactures portable hand-held combustion, emission, and gas analyzers. The current product portfolio centers on two main analyzer lines: the Enerac 500 (combustion efficiency analyzer for affordable applications using standard electrochemical sensors) and the Enerac 700 (compliance-level combustion emissions analyzer featuring proprietary SEM dual-range sensors with built-in temperature control and sample conditioning). The Enerac 700AV is a specialized 5-gas analyzer variant for automotive and mobile engine applications. All current analyzers include built-in thermal printers, internal data storage, and free Enercom Windows software. The company also maintains support for legacy product lines including the 3000/3000E (EPA compliance analyzers), 2000 series (combustion management systems), and 200EX/400X (entry-level analyzers). Products are custom-built in the USA with field-replaceable sensors and field-upgradeable configurations.
