5HP Compressor Comparison
All 5HP Compressors Are Not Alike.
Many auto parts suppliers also carry air compressors. They typically do not have a full product range or the knowledge to help you select the best 5 horsepower compressor for your specific need. Far too often we see people oversold and spending unnecessary money on a compressor larger than what they need, or buying solely on price and ending up regretting their choice. One thing to be wary of is the “special” or “peak” 5 horsepower compressors on the market. The air output is considerable less than a true 5 horsepower.
Depending on your need for compressed air any one of these following 5 horsepower compressors will do. Let Centrair Air Systems help you choose the best air compressor for your operation.
