Frequently Asked Questions About Air Compressor Repair

How do you repair an air compressor?

The type of repair required will depend on the type of compressor and the fault that has developed. 

In most cases, the first step is a thorough inspection and diagnosis to identify the cause. Once the fault has been found, the damaged or worn components can be repaired or replaced. We’ll then test your compressor to make sure the compressor is operating safely and efficiently. 

If you don’t have the specialist knowledge or experience to diagnose and repair compressors yourself, it’s best to use a qualified engineer. Attempting a repair without the right expertise can be dangerous, and potentially lead to further damage of your compressor.

What are the common air compressor faults?

Air compressors can develop several common faults over time, including:

• Air/oil leaks
• Low air pressure
• Failure to start
• Overheating
• Unusual noises
• Internal component damage

Can an air compressor be repaired?

Yes, in many cases, an air compressor can be repaired and returned to reliable working condition. Our engineers are trained to diagnose compressor faults, carry out repairs and provide ongoing maintenance and on-site servicing. 

Before carrying out repairs, we determine:

• Age of the compressor
• The extent of previous repairs
• Energy efficiency
• Whether the cost of repair outweighs the cost of replacement

What is the average life expectancy of an air compressor?

The lifespan of an air compressor can vary drastically depending on the make and model, how heavily it is used, and how well it is maintained. As a general guide, a BOGE air compressor can last between 5 and 20 years if maintained properly. 

When purchasing BOGE equipment, you have the option of taking out up to 10 years of extra warranty to give you extra peace of mind. This includes a 5-year BOGE bestcair warranty on all A-parts, covering free replacement and qualified service by our technicians.

Why might a compressor stop working?

Most faults come down to one of a few causes, including:

•  Electrical issues (such as a blown fuse or tripped breaker)
• System and pressure-control problems are common if the unit has overheated. Mechanical issues (such as worn piston rings or a broken drive belt) are evident when the unit isn’t building pressure correctly.

Many of these problems stem from a lack of maintenance or the use of non-original parts that don’t meet quality standards. Because it can be difficult to pinpoint the cause without adequate training, we’d always recommend calling in a professional, such as Air Supply Manchester, to investigate.
