Reputations are not built overnight
In Referenceline's view, this track record is more important than the ratings. Don't be impressed by a few old reviews which may not be representative.  Look for firms with a commitment to asking for feedback - good or bad - from their customers.  We recommend that you look for a track record of ratings and reviews in at least 9 of the last 12 months and that you should not be too concerned about an isolated negative review.  Ask the firm for their side of the story.

Service of Compressors and driers across two sites.

"In 29 years on the job I have always dealt with Air Equipment apart from a two year contract awarded to someone else that was nothing to do with me and out of my hands. I am glad to have them back contracting for us.
They offer a professional service and will always do their best to attend in a breakdown/emergency situation."

I called out Air Equipment to look at one of our compressors at our list X site at Stevenage.

"The response was the same day and the problem was diagnosed and parts ordered on the same day. The compressor was repaired and up and running the next lunchtime. As always their response is very quick as it needs to be for our business. They have been with us for many years and are one or our best subcontractors.

All I can say is that they are a very professional company who always very prompt and get breakdowns turned around very quickly. They have also designed and installed various installations across our sites. I have a very good working relationship with all members of the company from the engineers to the managing director."

Customer Review
 
Set up of new air line from an existing source and disconnection and move of compressor from one building to storage in another.

"We asked at very short notice for a new air line to be fitted and Air Equipment were in attendance that day to review requirements and then the engineer was arranged for next working day. As we already had a supply close to the area for the new line, the two engineers were able to fit the new supply quickly and efficiently and we were able to use the air on the same day.

We then requested for a compressor that we no longer used to be disconnected and moved to the area where our 'live' compressor is housed, with a view to at some point having a quotation to have a failover system set up. The engineer's visit was arranged for the following week and we offered to have movers on site to help with the move of the equipment and they actually ended up moving all of this, the engineer just told them where to put it. The decommissioned area was left tidy. One part was swapped out on our 'live' compressor from the spare system and this was taken away by the engineer for disposal.

We have been contacted regarding the extra works quotation and will be reviewing this when received."
