Why HVAC Preventive Maintenance Plans

Our goal with preventive maintenance contracts is the reduce the negative effects of operating reactively. Having a “fix and repair” maintenance strategy will ultimately end up costing building owners more in the long run. This strategy is not only more costly due to its negative impact on mechanical equipment life, but it’s also very ineffective for managing energy consumption. Routine maintenance will help avoid catastrophic breakdowns and equipment failures.

Whether you have newly installed equipment or not, having scheduled, routine maintenance performed on your equipment is widely known for the following benefits:

Extended equipment operating life
Deferred capital replacement costs
Improved operating efficiency
Reduced energy use / energy savings
Early identification of potential problems
Fewer emergency service repairs
Less frequent system downtime
Decreased interruptions to building operations
Increased comfort / reduced occupant complaints
Enhanced safety / mitigated risks
