Whether you’re a small business with a portable air compressor or a company with an industrial air compressor, you’ll know how important this machine is!
Across the UK, air compressors help businesses stay on track by providing clean, reliable compressed air. So, the big question isn’t how vital the machine is, but rather how often it should be serviced. Here are some signs of what to look out for and general guidelines.
Why Servicing Your Air Compressor Matters
Like any piece of machinery, an air compressor needs to be maintained to perform at its best. Routine servicing helps prevent unforeseen breakdowns and ensures that your equipment lasts longer.
Servicing can also help cut costs, because if your compressor has a leak or other issues, it may be working harder, which means higher bills. Servicing will also give you peace of mind that the compressed air you are using is clean and fit for purpose.
How Often Should You Service an Air Compressor?
You can complete basic checks on your air compressor while cleaning it. Consider checking it weekly to ensure there are no obvious signs of damage, wear and tear or leaks. If you notice a humming sound or any issues with performance, it could indicate an issue. So simple monitoring can help catch potential problems early on.
In general, professional routine servicing should be completed annually. If your compressor is subject to heavy use, exceeding 2,000 hours on an ongoing basis, you may require more frequent servicing. But that’s where our tailored servicing plans come in.
What’s Included in a Professional Service for Air Compressors?
A professional service of your air compressor will include:
- A full inspection of internal and external parts, including the filters, pneumatic and electrical connections, valves, drivetrain and more.
- The experts will also conduct a performance test to verify that your air compressor is operating as it should.
- Internal cleaning to make sure there’s no debris or dust.
- The safety of your compressor will also be checked.
Servicing can also vary depending on your air compressor and plan.
