Whether you use your compressor for work or projects around the house, it is an important piece of equipment that needs to operate safely and efficiently. If you have a used air compressor in PA, here are some tips to maintain the equipment.
Use High Quality Replacement Parts
When it’s time to replace parts in your air compressor, budget should not be the only consideration. Low-cost parts are made from materials that wear down and break faster than higher quality parts. You may need to replace those parts more often, which costs money in the long run. Parts for a used air compressor are made by the manufacturer, as well as reputable third party suppliers.
Examine the Air Compressor Monthly
Even if your air compressor is working properly, take a few minutes each month to examine the unit. Check for clogged hoses, leaks, low fluid levels, electrical burns and other issues. Fixing small problems early may extend the lifetime of the equipment.
Know the Signs of Problems
A used air compressor for a PA home or business can last for many years if repairs are made quickly. Some of the signs of a used air compressor needs repairs or general maintenance are:
- Unit does not operate efficiently
- Overheating
- Smoke or odors coming from the unit
- Signs of electrical problems, such as black marks near wiring
