Repair or Replace? Making the Right Choice for Your Air Compressor
If compressed air is essential to your operations, a broken compressor can mean costly downtime. Should you repair or replace? Here’s what to consider:
- Cost Over Time – Repairs may be cheaper upfront, but a new, energy-efficient compressor can reduce electricity costs (which make up 75% of ownership costs).
- Reliability & Efficiency – Older models are less efficient and more prone to breakdowns, while newer ones offer better performance and lower energy use.
- Troubleshooting First – Check power sources, oil levels, belts, and fuses—some issues can be fixed without major repairs.
- Repair When... Your compressor is newer, reliable, and has readily available parts.
- Replace When... It’s outdated, frequently breaks down, or struggles to meet your needs.
