When looking for an air compressor, you will ideally be able to find a machine that has a reasonable up-front price, and that’s going to last a long time and require minimal repairs.
So before choosing an air compressor it’s crucial to estimate the true life-cycle cost of a compressor.
Purchase Price + Energy Costs + Parts & Service + Additional Factors
= True Life Cycle Cost
Purchase price
A high purchase price can be outweighed by a reliable company, low maintenance needs, and easy-to-find parts.
Parts and service
This cost is factored in with preventative maintenance costs, usage, and replacement part prices and availability.
Energy costs
Quality air compressors can reduce energy costs by 25% and will leave you with a lower utility bill in the long run.
Additional factors
These include factors such as demand charges, load/unload cycle time, air leak losses, non-production operation, system pressure set points and individual components that can make a difference in the cost of your compressor’s operation when combined.
