FAQ
Reciprocating Compressor FAQs
+Do you still service older reciprocating compressors?
Yes. Many reciprocating compressors run for decades - we source valves, rings, gaskets, and rebuild kits for older units and keep them producing when replacement is not in the budget.
+When should I rebuild vs. replace a reciprocating compressor?
It depends on hours, condition of the crankcase and cylinders, and how the unit fits your current demand. We give you a straight answer - rebuild cost vs. new install cost vs. rotary screw upgrade - not a sales pitch.
+Do you service oil-lubricated and oil-free reciprocating units?
Yes. Single-stage, two-stage, oil-lubricated, and oil-free reciprocating compressors from every major brand.
+Can a reciprocating unit be a good fit for my plant?
For intermittent or low-duty loads, yes - reciprocating is often the right economic call. For continuous duty at high CFM, rotary screw usually wins on energy and life. We help you pick based on your load, not a catalog.
+Do you handle tanks and pressure vessels?
We inspect receiver tanks as part of service, coordinate certified inspections, and replace tanks when they no longer pass.
