Is it better to lease or buy an air compressor?

In this blog we’ll cover:

  • What’s the most cost-efficient solution for you

  • What’s the best brand for you when it comes to air compressors

  • Essential advice and support you’ll need to know

The benefits of buying an air compressor:

Buying outright is the ideal solution for some customers; you’ll be in control and have more autonomy over customising and managing the overall efficiency of your system, so you can plan out your outputs and tailor the compressor to work in line with your current system.

Further, buying a new air compressor gives you piece of mind that your system, is new, and fit for purpose, so you’ll likely have no issue when it comes to output or efficiency. With the major drawback with this option being the initial upfront cost – as a new air compressor can be quite a big investment, and an even bigger liability if something goes wrong.

On the other hand, why should you lease an air compressor?

Leasing an air compressor can be a much more flexible solution for many people, having a lease opposed to buying a compressor outright means that if your workload suddenly changes, you have the ability to change your current system with little cost. Whereas, if you had brought a new air compressor, you’d then have to purchase another air compressor or a different spec to cover your new needs.

But there are also several key benefits to leasing an air compressor:

  • Being able to stay up to date with tech
    • If you lease a compressor, when there are shifts in the market or new compressors become available it’s not a big deal, as you don’t need to worry about missed efficiency as you can simply upgrade without the upfront cost.
  • More flexibility with budgeting
    • Leasing means you don’t need to worry about lump sums or big investments, and a fixed monthly cost makes the idea of a new system component must less stressful. When it comes to your finances, leasing means you also have access to cutting edge technology meaning you can constantly be improving your efficiency and reaching a ROI quicker.
