For a compressor to maintain its reliability and efficiency, all its components must perform flawlessly. This is especially crucial for wearing parts like oils, filters, and valves. By using optimal service and original spare parts, every component of the compressor can function optimally, ensuring reliable performance comparable to a new device. A service contract with us is the ideal companion for achieving maximum availability.
The hidden costs for opting for a low-cost service contract for your compressors
If you opt for a budget service contract, be cautious - you might end up paying significantly more in the long run. Cheap service packages often come with hidden additional costs.
There's no guarantee that such services will meet our high-quality standards. Using filters or compressor oil from unreliable sources can harm the compressor and contaminate the final product.
Additionally, using inferior spare parts may reduce compressor efficiency, resulting in higher energy consumption. Energy costs account for over 80 percent of a compressor's life cycle expenses.
Insufficient maintenance can result in the following issues:
- Contamination of the compressed air piping system
- Reduced compressor lifespan because of increased wear
- Increased energy and life cycle costs
- Limited availability/uptime
- Risk of unplanned compressor breakdowns, leading to costly follow-up expenses
Key factors for ensuring optimal compressor service
Comprehensive service ensures the reliable and efficient operation of a compressor over the long term. When choosing a service contract, consider the qualification of service staff. Also, check if spare parts are readily available.
Reviewing service contracts carefully is important. Low-cost offers may not include the full service scope recommended by the factory. Our contracts cover the full scope of services, avoiding costly unplanned service interventions. Remembe to compare similar service scopes when making your decision.
Qualified air compressor service technicians
Having qualified technicians is crucial for providing excellent service. Check if service technicians are suitable qualified, located nearby and if the provider offers 24/7 service to ensure availability when needed. This becomes particularly important if your company operated multiple shifts across multiple production locations.
A robust service provider also includes the ability to deliver spare parts and replacement compressors promptly. Long-term spare parts availability is crucial. Furthermore, ensure that the service provider exclusively uses genuine Atlas Copco spare parts.
This extends to the compressor oil, which we tailor for each machine and application. Using inferior oil risks voiding warranties and reducing compressor efficiency, availability and lifespan. Remember the well-known saying: "Whoever buys cheap often buys twice."
Details outlined in the service contract
When opting for a seemingly inexpensive service contract, you may encounter unforeseen drawbacks that we not initially apparent. This often begins with the contract's flexibility. Knowing whether services and maintenance parts are billed separately or included in the contract is important.
Unscheduled maintenance or unexpected repairs can complicate cost calculations over the entire lifespan of the compressor. Therefore, it's crucial to verify whether the mainteance contract genuinely covers a 'full service scope'. For example, some providers may only offer very basic services on a contract and everything else ends up being an unplanned repair. Remember, maintenance and repair quality can vary when service providers use subcontractors.
