The right compressor depends on your air demand, duty cycle, pressure requirements, and environment. Rotary screw compressors are ideal for continuous use in industrial settings, while piston compressors are suited for intermittent use.

Most compressors require maintenance every 2,000–4,000 hours or quarterly, depending on usage and brand. Regular maintenance includes oil/filter changes, belt inspections, and checking for leaks.

Compressor size depends on your required CFM (cubic feet per minute), PSI, and total connected load. A system audit can help determine the best fit for your facility.

Preventative maintenance typically includes oil and filter changes, checking belts and hoses, drain system inspection, leak detection, and overall system performance review.

Common signs include loud or unusual noises, pressure loss, oil leaks, excessive heat, and increased energy consumption. If you notice any of these, it's time for a service call.
