During an air compressor service, we will do comprehensive tests on your equipment to make sure it is working at maximum efficiency. Your service engineer will do a thorough inspection, checking for leaks to ensure the air is pure, as well as checking for any damage to the compressor. They will change the oil and the filters, checking and replacing with genuine parts wherever necessary. As part of the service, they will clean every millimetre of the compressor to make sure it runs efficiently.

As a general rule of thumb, air compressors need regular servicing after 2,000-3,000 operating hours. In effect, this means a service every 6-12 months depending on how much you use the equipment. Even if you don’t use your compressor that much, we recommend an annual service to ensure it works at maximum efficiency.

Call us on 01992 940498 and we will arrange a service engineer to come as soon as possible to fix the problem. If the problem can’t be easily fixed, we will organise the hire of a replacement compressor to tide you over until the repairs are complete. 

With regular servicing and maintenance, your air compressor could last between 5 and 20 years. This also depends on factors such as the working conditions, temperature and humidity, and the intensity of the work your compressor is expected to perform. 

Our service, maintenance and installation services are available to companies in Hertfordshire, London, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Middlesex, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire, and Essex.

The precise timing for maintenance on any air compressor depends on various factors such as the manufacturer, model, technology, and size of the machine, as well as factors like the equipment’s operating environment, usage hours, and expected treatment. This means maintenance will need to be scheduled twice a year for some compressors, while others may require servicing every three months. Even if your system is not in active use, we recommend sticking to a regular maintenance schedule to ensure your equipment is in good condition and ready for action whenever you need it.

We offer a comprehensive array of service plans tailored to meet your system needs. Repairs are undertaken by fully trained engineers using quality parts. Our full range of maintenance services comprises the following key services:

Visual Inspection: Our authorised technicians conduct thorough visual inspections, identifying potential issues before they escalate. For the majority of smaller systems, these inspections occur biannually, while larger systems will need quarterly checks.

Lubrication: Regular lubrication of moving components preserves the functionality of the equipment, as well as extending its longevity. Depending on usage, a lubrication service is typically recommended biannually.

Air Dryer Filter Replacement: To maintain air quality and prevent the buildup of debris, the filtration systems in lubricators, receiver tanks, and other areas are routinely replaced.

Blower and Gauges Utilisation: Periodic blow-downs, facilitated by approved blowers and gauges, are essential for ensuring the compressor’s efficiency, particularly in larger systems.

Oil Changes: Maintaining larger systems requires timely oil changes and the replacement of filters to sustain proper lubrication which is typically recommended every 1,500 hours or six months, based on manufacturer guidelines.

Thermal Imaging Inspections: Periodic thermal imaging inspections are conducted to detect overheating or potential issues.

Vapour Leak Testing: Essential for systems with refrigerant units, vapour leak testing ensures the containment of hazardous gases and materials present in compressed air systems.

Our professional and experienced team is dedicated to regularly servicing our customers, providing absolute confidence, peace of mind, and a swift response to any emergency breakdowns. We prioritise efficiency, reliability, and customer satisfaction, offering 24/7 availability.

The frequency of oil maintenance for your air compressor depends on its type and usage. Typically, some compressors necessitate oil changes every 1,000 hours of operation, while others may require it slightly less often. However, for most compressors, it’s advisable to address oil maintenance at least once a year, in alignment with manufacturer recommendations.

The pressure depends on the size and model of the compressor. As a rule of thumb, a low-pressure compressor has a pressure of 150 PSI, a medium one has between 151 and 1,000 PSI, and a large air compressor can have a PSI of up to 6,000.
