Is It Time to Replace My Air Compressor?

So, your air compressor has worked well for your facility for many years, but now you’re noticing some signs that it’s starting to wear down. You may be wondering whether you should repair or replace the unit altogether. When considering a replacement air compressor in Bakersfield, you should ask yourself the following questions: 

• How often does your equipment break down?

Air compressors that require repairs frequently may be costing you more than you realize. While repairs are more affordable in the short-term, they can be quite costly over time. A replacement air compressor may be a better choice to keep your operations running smoothly.

• How old is your air compressor?

Older models can be less efficient than newer ones, and they also tend to be less reliable, especially if they haven’t been properly maintained. Consider a replacement if your outdated air compressor is shutting down or resulting in high energy costs.

• Does it keep up with the needs of your facility?

As your business grows, your initial unit may not be enough to handle its expanding compressed air needs. Investing in a larger capacity model is making an investment in the future of your company.

However, sometimes repair is the right choice. If your unit is just a few years old or hasn’t broken down very often, repairing it usually makes the most sense.  At NB Sales and Service of Bakersfield, our qualified technicians can help you weigh your options for repair vs. replacement.
