Air Compressor Preventative Maintenance Plans
Prevent costly downtime with scheduled preventative maintenance for air compressors, dryers, filtration, vacuum pumps, and complete compressed air systems.
Our preventative maintenance plans help keep your system serviced at the right intervals, identify problems before they become shutdowns, and support long-term reliability across your entire compressed air system.
As an Atlas Copco Authorized Service and Warranty Center servicing all major brands, Advanced Air & Vacuum provides structured PM support for industrial and commercial facilities across Southern California and Arizona.
A strong maintenance plan does more than change filters and oil. It protects production, reduces emergency service calls, improves system efficiency, and gives your facility a predictable service schedule.
Our technicians inspect the full compressed air system — not just the compressor. That includes dryers, drains, filters, belts, valves, electrical connections, cooling surfaces, condensate management, and system performance. The goal is simple: keep your air system running before downtime becomes expensive.
Compressed air systems can represent a major energy cost in industrial facilities, and the U.S. Department of Energy notes that best-practice energy management can lead to significant savings in compressed air systems.
Advanced supports facilities where compressed air is tied directly to production, safety, quality, and uptime.
Common industries we support include:
- Manufacturing
- Aerospace and defense
- Food and beverage
- Healthcare and medical facilities
- High-precision machining
- Packaging
- Automotive service and production
- Laboratories
- Municipal and utility operations
- Breweries and beverage production
- Commercial and industrial facilities
When compressed air supports your operation, maintenance is not optional — it is uptime protection.
Preventative maintenance only works when the service provider understands the full system. Advanced brings nearly 20 years of compressed air experience, certified technician support, and long-term service coverage across Southern California and Arizona.

Facilities usually call after a failure. A preventative maintenance plan helps you catch warning signs earlier.
Common warning signs include:
- Compressor running hotter than normal
- Pressure drops during production
- Water or oil showing up in air lines
- Frequent filter or dryer issues
- Higher electrical usage
- Excessive compressor runtime
- Unusual vibration or noise
- Emergency service calls becoming more common
- Production interruptions caused by air demand
- Air leaks throughout the facility
Compressed-air leaks are one of the most common sources of waste. An 1/8-inch leak in a 100 psi system can cost more than $1,200 per year in wasted energy.
Scheduled oil, filter, separator, belt, cooler, electrical, and performance checks for oil-injected and oil-free rotary screw systems.
Preventative service for piston compressors, including oil, belts, filters, valves, electrical components, and pressure performance.
Maintenance for refrigerated and desiccant dryers to help control moisture, pressure drop, and air quality issues.
Inline filter inspection, drain function checks, condensate management review, and contamination prevention.
Scheduled service support for industrial vacuum pumps used in production, packaging, medical, laboratory, and manufacturing environments.
Visual inspection for leaks, pressure drop, poor layout, and system inefficiencies that can strain compressors.
I have to say one of the best companies l've dealt with for preventative maintenance on my machines.
Our system has been working great ever since the Advanced techs started servicing it. Very friendly too!
We use this company for the City of San Diego's industrial air, vacuum, and pump needs. Excellent service.
One of the best decisions I made when looking to hire a full service air & vac co to support my mfg company.
Without any hesitation I would recommend Advanced to anyone seeking reliable and efficient service.
Air Compressor Maintenance Plan FAQs
An air compressor maintenance plan is a scheduled service program designed to keep compressed air equipment operating reliably. It typically includes inspections, oil and filter service, belt checks, electrical checks, cooler cleaning, dryer review, drain inspection, and performance testing.
Most industrial air compressors should be serviced at regular intervals based on manufacturer recommendations, operating hours, environment, and application. High-demand facilities may need more frequent maintenance than light-duty operations.
Poor maintenance can lead to overheating, pressure loss, contaminated air, dryer failure, higher energy usage, emergency breakdowns, and reduced equipment life.
Yes. Advanced Air & Vacuum is an Atlas Copco Authorized Service and Warranty Center, but our technicians service all major air compressor brands.
Yes, PM plans can include dryers, inline filters, drains, condensate systems, and other components that affect air quality and system reliability.
Yes. Preventative maintenance helps identify wear, contamination, heat issues, leaks, electrical problems, and component failures before they cause unexpected downtime.
Yes. Advanced Air & Vacuum provides preventative maintenance plans for industrial compressed air systems across Southern California and Arizona.
Each maintenance visit is built around the equipment, runtime, environment, and application. Service scope may vary by machine type and plan level, but typical PM service may include:
- Oil check or oil change
- Oil filter inspection or replacement
- Air filter inspection or replacement
- Separator inspection or replacement
- Belt condition and tension check
- Amperage and voltage checks across all phases
- Electrical and mechanical connection inspection
- Cooler, motor, and cabinet cleaning
- Minimum pressure valve inspection
- Thermal valve inspection
- Scavenger line / non-return function check
- Inlet valve inspection
- Pressure switch contact inspection
- Contactor and overload setting review
- Dryer and inline filter inspection
- Drain and condensate system review
- Pump-up test
- Pressure and mechanical performance test
- Recommendations for repairs, efficiency improvements, or future service
