Electric air compressors for facilities with suitable electrical service.
Diesel air compressors for locations where temporary electrical power is unavailable or unsuitable.
Oil-free compressors for processes with strict limits on oil contamination.
Contact-cooled compressors for general industrial compressed-air applications.
Dryers and filtration to support required air treatment.
Hoses and connection accessories for temporary system integration, subject to application and availability.

24/7 Emergency Air Compressor Rentals FAQ
Does Industrial Air Services offer 24/7 emergency compressor rentals?
Yes. Industrial Air Services offers emergency rentals with technicians on call around the clock. Call (615) 641-3100 to discuss your outage, equipment needs, current availability, and the arrangements required to restore temporary air service.
When should a facility consider renting an air compressor?
Rentals can provide temporary capacity during an unexpected failure, scheduled maintenance, equipment replacement, or a production increase. Planning the connection and operating requirements helps determine which rental arrangement will suit the facility.
What types of rental air compressors are available?
Industrial Air Services lists electric and diesel compressors, including oil-free and contact-cooled options. The appropriate equipment depends on airflow, operating pressure, air-quality requirements, available utilities, and current fleet availability.
How do I determine the rental compressor size I need?
Provide the required airflow in CFM, operating pressure, and equipment that must remain running. Existing compressor nameplates are helpful, but actual demand and simultaneous production loads provide a better basis for sizing.
What information should I have ready when calling for an emergency rental?
Have the site address, contact person, required pressure and airflow, available power, air-quality needs, and connection details ready. Explain what failed, which operations are affected, and when temporary air is needed.
How quickly can a rental compressor be supplied?
Timing depends on suitable equipment availability, location, transportation, and installation requirements. Call Industrial Air Services to confirm the options and estimated schedule for your specific outage rather than assuming a fixed response time.
Should I choose an electric or diesel rental compressor?
An electric unit requires compatible electrical service and a suitable connection. A diesel unit requires fuel planning and appropriate placement for exhaust, ventilation, and site access. The best choice depends on the temporary installation.
When is an oil-free rental compressor needed?
Some processes have strict limits on oil contamination. Share the required air-quality specification so the compressor and treatment equipment can be selected together; an oil-free compressor alone does not establish every aspect of delivered air quality.
Can dryers, filters, and hoses be included with a rental?
Industrial Air Services lists dryers, filtration, and hoses among its rental offerings. Confirm the complete package, connection sizes, pressure ratings, and treatment requirements when requesting equipment for your facility.
Can a rental compressor connect to my existing air system?
A suitable temporary connection may be possible after reviewing pressure, flow, piping, isolation valves, air treatment, and controls. Electrical supply, equipment placement, and the interaction with operating compressors must also be evaluated.
Can I rent equipment for a planned shutdown or maintenance visit?
Yes. Temporary equipment can support planned maintenance or replacement work. Advance coordination allows time to review capacity, site access, connections, and startup arrangements before the permanent equipment is taken out of service.
Can rental equipment help with temporary increases in air demand?
A rental can add capacity for short-term production needs when properly integrated. Confirm whether the limitation is compressor output, air treatment, storage, or distribution piping so added capacity addresses the actual problem.
Does Industrial Air Services offer pump rentals too?
Yes. Industrial Air Services lists fluid pumps as part of its rental fleet. Provide liquid properties, solids content, flow, head, and suction conditions so availability and suitability can be reviewed for the pumping application.
What affects the cost of a compressor rental?
Cost depends on the equipment, rental duration, accessories, and any transportation, setup, or support included. Request a written quote identifying charges, operating responsibilities, rental terms, and how extensions or returns are handled.
What should be planned before rental equipment arrives?
Confirm delivery access, placement, utility connections, piping interfaces, and who will coordinate startup. Establish responsibilities for fuel or power, routine checks, and monitoring so the temporary system can operate as intended.
