- The first thing that should be considered when choosing a service provider is their staff’s knowledge of different systems which is verified by a training provided by the CAC in order to ensure their legitimacy. For other countries, before hiring make sure that you have seen any proof of certification of the latest training in order to make sure that the staffs performing any maintenance or service are qualified and knowledgeable. Whether you have a Quincy air compressor or other types, service providers must know the ins and outs of the compressor system to make sure that equipment is reliable to be used in operations.
- Next thing you should inquire is if the service provider is also providing analysis service for your compressed air system. If they are then inquire if it meets the need of your equipment. If not, ask them if they can outsource this task to another specialist that is well experienced in the system. The experience and expertise of the persons who will be conduction the analysis must be tackled in order to make sure that proper data are gathered. In the event that the assessment is over, inquire if they have a follow up service which will guarantee that the work done is properly performed and the end result is as expected. It will also serve well if you can ask for sample works done by the worker before and a resume in order to know more regarding the individual as well as references gathered from previous clients. Most of the time, assessment are just presenting results of leakage and though it is good, there is more to an analysis service than just seeing leaks.
- Another important thing to ask about is the expertise of the service provider when it comes to air compressor system as well as the scope of their knowledge and training. Ask if they are able to perform on the type of industrial air compressor you have, for example a Quincy, and if they will be able to work on all types that you have inside the facility. The length of the experience is also an important matter as well as the type of training provided for the service technician. Formal schooling is a big plus as it determines the scope of their knowledge and professionalism. In the case of expert service technicians, it is usual for them to charge higher because they have the expertise and the skills to make sure your equipment will be working at its peak again.
- Before hiring anyone or signing any contract, make sure to visit the facilities of these service providers to see firsthand the work they are doing, the amount of work assigned, the type of facility and equipment used and the number of staff working for the service provider.
