Air Compressor Servicing

We have been specialists in air compressors since the inception of our business in 1958. Our capabilities involve distribution and installation, as well as servicing.

For the majority of people on this page, you have found your way here because you require your air compressor to be serviced. However, for those who may be new to the world of air compressors, we have provided some information below.

What is an air compressor and how do they work?

An air compressor is a machine that converts electrical power into pressurised air, more commonly known as compressed air, which can then be more safely and efficiently used to operate tools and machinery.

An air compressor works with ambient air being directed into a chamber that uses a piston, rotating screw or sliding vane to force the same air to be compressed into a very much smaller space than when it first entered. This results in a build-up of pressure and compressed air is produced as a result. The pressurised air is cooled, dried, cleaned and made fit for purpose before being directed into a storage tank until it is needed.
