Air Compressor Repairs in WA

Our Service

When a compressor goes down, production often goes with it. For most operations a compressed air system runs everything from air tools and assembly lines to packaging and process equipment, so a single fault can halt production across a whole site. Air & Power provides expert air compressor service and repairs across Perth metro and regional Western Australia, helping businesses get back up and running with minimal downtime.

With over 35 years of local experience and a team of qualified mobile technicians, we service and repair all major brands, supply genuine spare parts, and complete every job to Australian Standards. Whether you run a single reciprocating unit in a workshop or a bank of rotary screw air compressors in an industrial facility, our expert team can keep your equipment reliable, efficient, and compliant.

New Installations

An air compressor is a significant investment, and the cost of neglecting it adds up quietly. Air leaks across the air piping and fittings can significantly increase energy costs and reduce efficiency, often without anyone noticing until the power bill climbs. Worn components place extra load on the motor, push operating temperatures up, and shorten the working life of the unit. 

Routine servicing minimises downtime and improves energy efficiency. Regular maintenance keeps the system running closer to optimal performance, reduces operating costs, and helps prevent breakdowns before they reach the point of an emergency repair. For any business that depends on compressed air, that reliability is the difference between a planned service window and an unplanned stop on the line.

Things To Consider For Your Next Repair

Common air compressor issues 

Most faults give some warning before they take a unit out of service. Knowing the signs helps you book a repair before a small problem becomes a major one.

Common air compressor issues we are called out to include: 

  • Air and oil leaks across seals, fittings, and the air line 
  • Pressure switch failures that stop the unit cycling correctly 
  • Faulty safety and pressure relief valves 
  • Overheating from blocked filters, low oil, or cooling faults 
  • Worn drive belts 
  • Excessive noise or unusual vibration 
  • Contaminated air lines affecting downstream air tools and equipment 

 

If you notice any of these, it is worth having a technician inspect the unit early. Proper functioning of safety and pressure relief valves is critical, and regularly checking oil levels is one of the simplest ways to avoid a more serious failure. 

Our air compressor repair process 

Every repair follows a clear, methodical process so nothing is missed and the fix actually holds. Our approach covers: 

  1. Initial diagnosis. Technicians review fault codes, inspect for leaks, and run diagnostic testing to locate the issue rather than guess at it. 
  1. Component inspection. We check the valves, belts, filters, seals, motor, and air receiver to understand the full picture, not just the obvious symptom. 
  1. Repairs and part replacement. Faulty components are cleaned or replaced with genuine spare parts suited to your model. We stock parts for leading brands so turnaround stays fast. 
  1. System testing and calibration. Once repairs are complete, the unit is recalibrated and tested under load to confirm it is performing correctly. 
  1. Safety checks and certification. Final safety checks confirm the unit is safe to return to operation and compliant with the relevant standards. 

 

This structured process means you get more than a quick patch. You get a unit that has been properly diagnosed, repaired, tested, and signed off. 

Compressor types we service 

Different industrial applications call for different machines, and our technicians have the expertise to service the specific types of compressors you rely on: 

  • Rotary screw compressors provide stable, continuous airflow and suit high-duty operations that run for long periods. 
  • Reciprocating piston air compressors are commonly used across a wide range of industries and workshops. 
  • Oil-free air compressors are essential for sensitive applications such as food production and healthcare where clean air is non-negotiable. 
  • Diesel-powered compressors are ideal for remote, high-demand sites without reliable mains power. 
  • Portable air compressors are compact and easy to deploy for field applications. 

 

We service an extensive range of models from major brands, including units such as Chicago Pneumatic and our own Pilot Air systems, so you are covered whatever is installed on your site. 

Compliance and pressure vessel inspections 

Compressed air systems are not just about performance. They carry real safety obligations. Air receivers and pressure vessels require regular inspection for safe operation, and these inspections must adhere to AS/NZS 3788. As a general guide, regular inspections are recommended every two years to maintain compliance, though the interval can vary with the type and use of the vessel. 

Air receiver inspections ensure your equipment continues to meet safety standards and keeps your business compliant. Compliance with Australian industrial standards is critical, and using equipment that has not been inspected or certified can create safety hazards and expose your business to liability. Our technicians can inspect, test, and document your pressure vessels so you have clear records and genuine peace of mind. 

Preventive maintenance beats reactive repairs 

The cheapest repair is the one you never need. Preventive maintenance helps avoid future air compressor issues by catching wear early, keeping the system clean, and confirming that safety devices are working as they should. Scheduled preventive maintenance contracts can significantly reduce the number of emergency repairs you face, and they improve reliability and energy efficiency at the same time. 

A planned servicing schedule lets you budget with confidence, extend the working life of your equipment, and maximise productivity rather than firefighting breakdowns. We can tailor a maintenance plan to suit your operation and the way your equipment is used. 

Emergency repairs, 24/7

When a breakdown does happen, rapid response times are essential for minimising downtime. Our fully equipped mobile technicians can be dispatched for emergency repairs 24/7, bringing the tools and common spare parts needed to get most units back into operation on the first visit. Choosing a repair service with a fast response time is one of the most effective ways to keep an unexpected fault from turning into a long, costly stoppage.
