Service schedules and plans
What we do at every interval, published in advance.
Nothing here is a mystery
There is no reason for a service schedule to be a mystery. We publish exactly what is done at each interval, what is replaced, and what is measured, so you can compare it properly against any other quotation you have.
Three plans are available: Green Air Uptime Essential, Advanced and Premium. They differ in who does the work and who carries the risk of a breakdown, not in the quality of the parts, which is the same in all three. The interval task list below applies to every plan.
The three plans, and what each covers
Uptime Essential: consumables to schedule
We supply the correct filters, separator and oil to the schedule and your own team fits them. Suits a workshop with its own maintenance staff and a spare machine. You carry the breakdown risk.
Uptime Advanced: our engineer attends
Our engineer does the scheduled work, records flow, power, temperature and dew point, and leaves the visit documented. Fixed annual cost. Breakdowns are chargeable when they happen.
Uptime Premium: breakdowns included
Everything in Advanced, plus breakdown attendance and the parts that go with it, inside one annual figure. Suits continuous production where a stoppage costs more than the plan does.
The same in all three
Genuine consumables, the published task list, and a written record of every visit. The plan changes who turns the spanner and who carries the risk, not what goes into the machine.
What each plan covers
Essential covers consumables to schedule and suits a workshop with its own maintenance staff and a spare machine.
Advanced adds our engineer attending, which suits a plant with no in house engineer that wants a predictable budget.
Premium includes breakdowns, which suits continuous production where a stoppage costs more than the plan does in a year.
- Essential: consumables to schedule
- Advanced: our engineer attends
- Premium: breakdowns included
- Priority response rises with the tier
- Labour rate falls with the tier
- Pressure vessel inspection included on Advanced and above
- Documented history on every tier
- Move between tiers at renewal
How to choose
Start with what downtime costs you for an hour. That single number decides the tier more reliably than anything else.
If you have maintenance staff and a spare machine, Essential is enough and we will say so rather than selling upward.
Regulated production needing a documented service record should be on Advanced or Premium, because the record is part of what you are buying.
- Cost of an hour of downtime decides it
- Essential where you have staff and a spare
- Advanced where budget predictability matters
- Premium where production cannot stop
- Advanced or Premium for regulated production
- Honest advice rather than selling upward
- Reviewed at renewal against actual usage
- Multi machine and multi site pricing
What is fixed and what is not
The price is fixed for the term and it is stated per machine, so a budget can be built from it rather than estimated.
Consumable price rises inside the term are ours to absorb, not yours. That is what a fixed price means.
What is not fixed is the schedule itself. If your conditions change we adjust the interval and we explain why rather than quietly charging more.
- Price fixed for the term, stated per machine
- Consumable price rises absorbed by us
- Interval adjusted when conditions change
- Changes explained, never imposed
- Annual review against the actual record
- Multi machine and multi site pricing
- Transferable if a machine moves site
- Cancellable at renewal without penalty

Frequently asked questions
What is a service schedule?
The planned list of what gets done at each interval (500, 2,000, 4,000 and 8,000 hours), so nothing is decided on the day by whoever happens to attend.
Should I follow hours or months?
Whichever comes first. A machine running 200 hours a month still ages through heat cycles and condensate, so the calendar matters as well.
Who sets the intervals?
The manufacturer sets the baseline. We adjust for your conditions. A dusty site in Karachi in June does not get the same schedule as a clean plant room.
What is in a 2,000 hour visit?
Oil and filter change, intake filter, drain and safety valve check, belt tension, readings logged and a written report of anything found.
And the 8,000 hour visit?
All of the above plus the separator, a full instrument check, cooler cleaning and a condition assessment of the airend and motor bearings.
What if we miss one?
Tell us and we will re-plan rather than press on to the next. Missed services are how small problems turn into airend failures.
Do you remind us?
Yes, for contract customers we track hours and contact you ahead of time. That is the point of the contract.
Can the schedule fit our shutdown?
That is how we prefer to plan it. Where a machine cannot stop, we schedule around your changeover or supply a temporary unit.
What records are kept?
A signed sheet per visit and a machine history file. That file is what makes a warranty claim, an audit or a resale straightforward.
Does following the schedule really pay?
Yes, machines on schedule reach 40,000 to 80,000 hours on the original airend. Machines that are not usually do not see half of that.
