Garage Air Compressor Comparison
To ensure you make the right investment, we’ve made a handy guide for you to follow when comparing air compressor systems.
| Air Compressor Type | Best Suited For | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Belt | General repair shops or medium-sized garages with high daily demand. | Durable and long-lasting, higher air volume (CFM) for demanding tools, and generally repairable. | Requires more maintenance (belt inspection), larger footprint, and louder than silenced units. |
| Screw | Large service centres & commercial tyre shops that use multiple air tools constantly. | 100% duty cycle for non-stop use, highly energy-efficient for continuous demand, and quieter than high-volume piston compressors. | High initial cost and requires specialised, professional maintenance. |
| Silenced | Small garages, mobile mechanics & bodywork shops. Where noise or clean air is critical. | Extremely Quiet operation, requires minimal maintenance (no oil changes), and produces clean, oil-free air. | Less durable than oiled models, typically have a lower CFM and may not be suitable for continuous, heavy-duty use. |
| Petrol/Diesel | Mobile mechanics, breakdown services or garages in remote locations with unreliable power. | Ultimate portability, high power output, and can be used in any location. | Very loud, requires regular fuel and engine maintenance, and produces exhaust fumes. |
Factors to Consider When Choosing A Garage Air Compressor
There are three main areas you should be looking at:
- Pressure (PSI or Bar)
- Vessel Size (V)
- The output of the pump (CFM)
We've pulled a more detailed breakdown of these together on our knowledge base.
Workshop compressors come in all shapes and sizes. The two most common types are Piston Compressors and Screw Compressors. You can find out all about the difference in piston & screw compressors here.
