Frequently Asked Questions

Saving money is a given when preventative maintenance is performed on time by qualified staff using quality parts and lubricants. Yes, you will need to spend money on parts and labour, but we encourage you to consider this a relatively small investment to reduce the risk of downtime, which is usually exponentially more costly.

Here are some of the specific results of an air compressor breakdown.

1. Lost production
2. Compressor rental fees (including hook up)
3. Inconvenience
4. Refuelling
5. Rush shipping
6. Emergency repair costs
7. Hasty decision making
8. Catastrophic failure, beyond economic repair
9. Unbudgeted/unplanned replacement costs
10. Panic & stress - It’s hard to put a dollar value on these, but you know the toll they take

The condition, complexity, and scale of the equipment in your compressed air system will determine the extent of coverage you need.

The amount you save is difficult to assess because it depends on the cost of subsequent downtime in your plant and the extent of the breakdown. A catastrophic failure combined with any amount of downtime can add up to some pretty astronomical amounts.

Option 1. “Pay-as-You-Go”
With our pay-as-you-go plans, prices are fixed for the duration of a one- or two-year plan. Whenever we install a part or perform labour, we bill accordingly, on a time and materials basis.

Option 2. Fixed Fee
Do you prefer the predictability of fitting a fixed fee plan into your annual budget? We’re happy to do that. We first assess the hours your compressors will be operating. Then, from the shift patterns, we estimate the required frequency of your service calls and the quantity of parts, oil, and labour required to perform those services.

Option 3. Payment Plans
Want to spread the preventative maintenance plan costs over semiannual, quarterly, or monthly payments? No problem. Almost 75% of our plans are formatted this way. You get one fixed invoice value two, four, or twelve times per year.
