When a refrigeration compressor fails, the coordination lands on you.
Fault diagnosis, refrigerant recovery, rigging, transport, workshop repairs, parts, reinstallation, commissioning. That is delay, and it is technical and commercial risk sitting on your side of the contract.
We bring those activities together into one coordinated specialist service. Compressor Experts works alongside HVAC and refrigeration contractors as a specialist technical partner. We strengthen your technical capability while you remain in control of your customer and your project.

Refrigeration compressors we work on

We repair, overhaul, inspect and commission all recognised compressor brands used in commercial refrigeration, industrial refrigeration and air-conditioning systems. These are the ones we see most often — if yours is not listed, send us the make, model and serial and we will tell you straight whether it is work we can take.
Semi-hermetic piston and screw compressors for refrigeration and air conditioning systems, ammonia and freon. Our expertise is not limited to the brands shown above.
Rapid Lift. Expert Care. Maximum Uptime.
Most workshops start when the compressor arrives at their door.
Getting it there is your problem. Not here. We decommission the unit, recover the refrigerant and isolate the system, mark up and disconnect, rig it out, transport it to Wadeville, overhaul it, transport it back, rig it into position and assist with recommissioning.
That removes the part of the job most likely to go wrong: the handovers. No coordinating a rigger, a transporter and a workshop who each blame the other for the delay. Faster turnaround to meet breakdown requirements, because nothing sits waiting for the next contractor to arrive.

Instead of separately managing riggers, transporters, rewinders and commissioning specialists, you get one specialist partner and one accountable solution across the whole compressor scope.
