Frequently Asked Questions
What maintenance/servicing packages do you offer?
We offer a range of packages to meet your needs, from one-off Ad-Hoc services to long-term fixed-price contracts that include breakdowns, leak testing, and data logging to ensure your system operates efficiently.
How can I improve the quality of my air?
The addition of micro-fine filters, activated carbon filters, and dryers can enhance your air quality. However, these additions increase costs. We conduct audits for our customers to measure air quality and offer solutions based on their specific needs. This approach prevents over-filtering and ensures your products are protected.
How can I tell if my compressor needs servicing?
Modern air compressors have a service warning light to indicate when servicing is needed. For older machines, a service record must be maintained. At Control Gear, we log all services in our database to ensure none are missed. Feel free to ask us if you’re uncertain about when your next service is due.
