Managing your [bushing](https://www.hubbell.com/hubbellpowersystems/en/Products/Power-Utilities/Bushings/cl/559847) equipment can get to be expensive - even with a life expectancy of 40+ years. Here are three easy ways to save as you evaluate your substation equipment.

1. **Test Terminals** - Regular testing allows you to extend the service life of your equipment while lessening the risk failure and subsequent lost revnue. [Test terminals](https://blog.hubbellpowersystems.com/3-benefits-to-test-terminals) also generally allow testing to be accomplished without the expense of a boom/bucket truck or extra personnel.
2. **Replacement Bushings** - [Replacing your old bushings](https://info.hubbellpowersystems.com/selecting-a-bushing-replacement) with new PCORE® and/or Electro Composites bushings is an economical way to extend the life of your existing transformer or oil circuit breaker for a fraction of what replacing that equipment would cost.
3. **Bushing Repair** - Many parts on your original bushing can be reused, resulting in savings of up to 60% when compared to the cost of a new bushing. Also, with a [PCORE repair](https://blog.hubbellpowersystems.com/bushing-repair-versus-replacement), your bushings are equipped with the same warranty terms as new bushings.
