Extended Warranty Plus: secure your compressor investment for 5 years

A new compressor is a significant investment. Choosing an efficient, reliable machine is only the beginning. To protect that investment over the long term, manufacturers need a plan for maintenance, equipment health, unexpected repairs and service costs.

Atlas Copco Extended Warranty Plus (EW+) combines up to five years of bumper-to-bumper coverage, preventive maintenance, remote diagnostics and expert service to help protect qualifying compressors and provide greater cost predictability.

For customers investing in premium Atlas Copco Z-products, the goal is more than simply having a warranty. It is having a comprehensive approach to equipment reliability that helps keep the compressor operating efficiently while reducing the risk of unexpected costs.

What is Extended Warranty Plus?

Extended Warranty Plus is a service and protection plan designed to help customers protect qualifying Atlas Copco compressors, ZT/ZR screw compressors above 55kw, beyond the standard warranty period.

EW+ brings together equipment coverage, maintenance expertise and digital monitoring to create a more proactive approach to compressor ownership.

Rather than waiting for an equipment issue to occur and then determining how to address it, customers can use a combination of planned maintenance and remote equipment monitoring to identify potential issues and keep their compressors operating as intended.

For qualifying models, EW+ can provide up to five years of bumper-to-bumper coverage, helping customers manage the risks associated with equipment ownership.

That matters because the cost of a compressor problem is not always limited to the repair itself. Unexpected downtime, emergency service, replacement components and administrative work can all affect an operation.

EW+ is designed to help customers take a more proactive approach.

Why protect a premium compressor with a premium service plan?

Premium compressor equipment deserves a protection strategy that supports its reliability, efficiency and long-term performance.

Atlas Copco Z-products are designed with efficiency and reliability in mind. Customers make these investments because compressed air is an important part of their operation and equipment performance matters.

But even high-quality equipment requires proper maintenance.

Filters need attention. Components wear. Operating conditions change. Equipment health can evolve over time.

A comprehensive service plan helps address these realities through scheduled maintenance, monitoring and access to qualified experts.

With EW+, customers can combine the equipment they invested in with the maintenance expertise and digital capabilities designed to support it.

The result is a more complete approach to compressor ownership.

How does EW+ help make compressor costs more predictable?

EW+ can help customers replace some unexpected service expenses with a more controlled and predictable approach to maintenance and equipment protection.

Unplanned compressor repairs can make budgeting difficult. The timing of a failure is unpredictable, and the associated costs can vary depending on the issue.

A service plan provides a different approach.

Instead of treating maintenance and repairs as isolated events, customers can establish a planned relationship around their equipment. This can make it easier to anticipate service needs and budget for equipment ownership.

For operations where compressed air is critical to production, cost predictability can be particularly valuable.

EW+ is designed to provide that additional layer of financial and operational protection while supporting the long-term health of the compressor.

How does SMARTLINK support compressor reliability?

SMARTLINK provides connected equipment monitoring and insights that can help customers and service teams better understand compressor performance and equipment health.

Remote monitoring can provide valuable information without requiring someone to physically inspect the machine for every potential concern.

By connecting equipment data with Atlas Copco service expertise, SMARTLINK can help support a more proactive approach to maintenance.

This is particularly important because equipment problems do not always appear suddenly. Changes in operating conditions or equipment performance can provide indications that something deserves attention.

Digital monitoring gives service teams another tool for understanding those changes and responding appropriately.

Combined with preventive maintenance and expert service, SMARTLINK becomes an important part of a broader equipment reliability strategy.

Why is preventive maintenance important for compressors?

Preventive maintenance helps identify and address equipment needs before they become larger problems.

A compressor operates as part of a larger production system, often for long periods and under demanding conditions. Regular maintenance helps ensure that important components are inspected, serviced and replaced when appropriate.

Preventive maintenance can also support equipment efficiency.

A compressor that is not properly maintained may experience changes in performance that affect energy consumption, reliability or operating costs.

That's why maintenance should not be viewed simply as an expense. It is part of protecting the equipment investment and supporting the performance of the compressed air system.

EW+ combines planned maintenance with equipment protection, helping customers take a more structured approach to compressor care.

Why use Atlas Copco experts for compressor maintenance?

Atlas Copco service experts bring equipment-specific knowledge, training and experience to the maintenance of Atlas Copco compressors.

Not all compressor service is the same. Understanding the equipment, its operating requirements and the appropriate maintenance procedures can make a difference.

Atlas Copco invests in its people, service capabilities and technologies because maintaining equipment is an important part of the customer experience.

EW+ connects customers with that service expertise while supporting the equipment through its operating life.

Customers also benefit from access to genuine Atlas Copco parts as part of the broader service approach, helping ensure that the equipment receives components designed for the application.

Why should customers put a new compressor on a service plan early?

Starting a service plan soon after commissioning can establish a proactive maintenance strategy before the equipment has accumulated significant operating hours.

For new installations, it can be tempting to think that maintenance can wait.

After all, the compressor is new.

But new equipment still requires appropriate maintenance, monitoring and care. Establishing a service relationship early creates a foundation for managing the equipment throughout its operating life.

For qualifying equipment, EW+ is intended to help customers establish that protection early,  ideally within the first 90 days after startup, with the goal of getting new units onto a service plan within 180 days.

That early relationship can help customers move from simply owning a new compressor to actively managing its long-term health.

What happens when something goes wrong?

EW+ is designed to reduce the uncertainty associated with equipment repairs and warranty administration.

When equipment experiences an issue, customers want to know what happened, what needs to be done and how quickly it can be resolved.

Remote diagnostics can help provide information about equipment health, while Atlas Copco service professionals can use their expertise to help identify and address equipment needs.

For customers, that can mean less time trying to determine the next step and more focus on keeping their operation running.

The exact coverage, terms and conditions of EW+ depend on the qualifying equipment and agreement, so customers should discuss their specific compressor with an Atlas Copco representative.
