FAQs About Air Compressor & Power Generator Services

How often should an air compressor be serviced?

An air compressor service should typically be carried out every 12 months or after a set number of operating hours, depending on the manufacturer’s guidelines. For compressors in heavy-duty or continuous use, more frequent maintenance may be required. Regular air compressor maintenance helps reduce the risk of breakdowns, improves efficiency, and ensures your system delivers reliable compressed air when you need it.

What is the life expectancy of an air compressor?

The average air compressor lifespan is around 10–15 years, though many can last longer with correct servicing and care. Usage levels, operating environment, and routine maintenance all play a key role in longevity. Scheduling regular compressor servicing is the most effective way to extend the life of your equipment and protect your investment.

What is the most common cause of air compressor failure?

The leading cause of air compressor failure is irregular or poor maintenance. Common issues include dirty air filters, lack of lubrication, and overheating. These problems can quickly cause damage if not addressed. A structured air compressor maintenance plan that includes filter changes, oil checks, and cooling system inspections will prevent most failures and keep your system running efficiently.

How frequently should a generator be serviced?

We recommend generator servicing every 6–12 months, or after a set number of running hours, whichever comes first. Even standby generators that are not in daily use should undergo routine servicing to ensure they operate reliably when called upon. Regular power generator maintenance helps avoid costly downtime and ensures compliance with warranty conditions.

What is the most common problem in generators?

The most common generator problem is battery failure, often due to infrequent use or inadequate charging. Other frequent issues include clogged fuel systems, worn belts, and oil leaks. Proactive generator servicing will identify and resolve these problems early, ensuring your generator is always ready to perform.

What is the lifespan of a power generator?

With proper generator maintenance, a power generator can last between 15 and 20 years, sometimes longer. Factors such as load demands, usage hours, and environment all impact longevity. Regular generator servicing and the use of genuine parts are essential to maximising the lifespan of a power generator.
