Sullair today announced the launch of its new certified RECON program for its large portable air compressors. Under the reconditioning program customers can turn in their used compressors – 750 to 1600 cfm models from 2004-2012 -- and within six to eight weeks Sullair will refurbish it to whatever specifications are requested. During the past year, Sullair has been testing the program with a pilot company.
The RECON program allows customers to send their machine to Sullair and specify exactly what work they’d like done. The customer receives the same unit back in six to eight weeks with warranties only on what has been replaced. The RECON program differs from Sullair Certified REMAN program, where the customer receives a like-new machine with a like-new warranty. The customer sends in their old core and receives a fully remanufactured unit with no waiting time.
“This program was truly designed with the end user in mind,” said Rebecca O’Mara, business leader, after sales and support for Sullair. “Not only does it provide cost savings over time, but it also allows the customer to customize the compressors to meet their unique requirements.”
The addition of the Sullair Certified RECON program now allows Sullair customers to meet their compressor needs through four different avenues: purchasing a remanufactured model; reconditioning their current fleet; and renting or buying brand new from a Sullair distributor.
Sullair’s Certified REMAN program renews the one-year standard warranty, two-year standard air-end warranty, and five-year or 10,000-hour air-end warranty when continuously serviced at the recommended intervals.
