Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about air compressors, compressed air systems, shipping, returns, tax exempt purchasing, maintenance, troubleshooting, and product selection.

What are the most common air compressor problems?
Common air compressor issues include pressure loss, excessive moisture, oil carryover, overheating, air leaks, and compressors that fail to start or build pressure. Regular maintenance and proper system sizing help prevent most problems.
How does a compressed air system work?
A compressed air system uses an air compressor to draw in atmospheric air, compress it, store it in a receiver tank, and distribute it through piping to tools, equipment, and production processes. Additional components such as dryers, filters, and lubricators help improve air quality and system performance.
Why is my air compressor losing pressure?
Pressure loss can be caused by air leaks, undersized piping, clogged filters, worn compressor components, faulty regulators, or excessive demand. Identifying and correcting the root cause can improve efficiency and reduce operating costs.
What type of air compressor is best for industrial applications?
Rotary screw air compressors are typically the preferred choice for industrial applications because they provide continuous airflow, higher efficiency, and greater reliability for demanding operations.
How do I know when my air compressor needs service?
Signs that service may be needed include unusual noises, reduced airflow, pressure fluctuations, increased energy consumption, excessive moisture, oil contamination, or maintenance indicators from the manufacturer.
How can I improve compressed air system efficiency?
You can improve efficiency by repairing leaks, reducing pressure drop, properly sizing equipment, maintaining filters and lubricants, installing efficient piping systems, and monitoring system performance regularly.
How do I check the status of my order?
You can check your order status from your account order history. Visit Check Order Status to view available order and tracking information.
How do I return an item?
Please review our Return Information page for authorization requirements, return instructions, and product eligibility.
Do you ship outside the United States?
AirCompressors.com currently ships within the continental United States.
How do I become tax exempt?
Visit our Tax Exempt Purchasing page to learn what documentation is needed and how exemption rules may vary by state.
Can I speak with someone before I buy?
Yes. Use live chat, visit Contact Us, or call our team for help selecting the right compressor, part, lubricant, filter, dryer, or piping solution.
