Frequently Asked Questions
Our sales professionals will evaluate your current system and/or quote new product for the highest level of reliability and efficiency.
Yes, some of the items used during maintenance have a limited life span. To keep your equipment running at its highest efficiency and reliability, we always suggest staying within the manufacturer's maintenance guidelines.
This varies by technology, manufacturer, and running hours. As a basic rule of thumb for a company operating 4000 hours per year or less generally requires a minimum of two services a year. This would consist of one full service and one minor service. A company operating over 4000 hours per year generally requires 4 services per year. At Peak Compressor LLC we default to what the manufacturer of your equipment recommends, maintaining any applicable warranties or guarantees offered from that manufacturer.
Air compressor fluids are unique in that they not only need to keep the equipment running cool, but they also need to help clean the equipment. Air compressor fluids have special additives that allow them to work in the extreme conditions that these pieces of equipment create. This means they must handle extreme temperatures, high moisture levels, and keep your unit lubricated and cool. Similar fluids such as hydraulic fluid have similar properties but do not have the key additives to maintain your equipment and can cause more problems.
If you have a piece of equipment under the manufacturer’s warranty, then yes. To maintain your warranty, with almost every manufacturer you are required to use OEM parts and fluids to maintain that warranty. If you are outside of the warranty period, then you have the option to use aftermarket parts and fluids.
If your company does not redundancy to allow for maintenance. We can work with you either on scheduling, meaning that we may have to quote after hours or weekend service. If this is not a valid option, then Peak can bring a rental unit with us to keep you up and running. There may be additional costs for these services, but they can be quoted up front.
This varies by technology, running hours, and manufacturer. When Peak quotes a PM to you either as a one off or an annual agreement, we follow the manufactures guidelines, and we can provide details on what is covered. Unlike some companies we share all the information that we plan to carry out, including parts lists and pricing, labor breakdown and all other included costs.
