Excellent service from Kerr Compressors. We called with an issue at 4pm and their engineer, Keith, arrived by 8am the next morning. He quickly diagnosed the problem and had everything fixed efficiently with no downtime. Fast response, professional service and great communication throughout. Highly recommend
