Why Facilities Invest in PM Contracts
Prevent $10K+ Emergency Repairs
The majority of commercial HVAC breakdowns stem from deferred maintenance. A $200 quarterly inspection prevents the $10,000 compressor failure that shuts down your building on the hottest day of the year.
Save 15-20% on Energy Bills
Dirty coils, clogged filters, and low refrigerant force your systems to work harder. Well-maintained equipment runs efficiently, which shows up directly on your utility bills every month.
Protect Warranties & Stay Compliant
Most equipment warranties require documented maintenance. Our service reports, photos, and inspection logs give you the paper trail for warranty claims, insurance audits, and regulatory requirements.
What's Included in Every PM Visit
Comprehensive inspection and service by EPA 608 certified technicians.
Full System Inspection
Visual and operational inspection of all HVAC equipment. Electrical connections, refrigerant levels, thermostat calibration, ductwork integrity, and drainage systems checked every visit.
Filter Replacement & Coil Cleaning
Filters replaced on schedule. Evaporator and condenser coils cleaned to maintain airflow and efficiency. Belt inspection and replacement as needed.
Performance Diagnostics
Temperature differential testing, amp draw readings, and superheat/subcooling measurements. We catch declining performance before it becomes a failure.
Priority Emergency Scheduling
PM contract holders get priority scheduling for emergency calls. When your system goes down, you jump to the front of the line - not the back.
Compliance Documentation
Detailed service reports with photos after every visit. Maintenance logs for warranty claims, insurance requirements, and OSHA compliance audits.
Equipment Recommendations
Honest assessment of equipment condition and remaining life expectancy. We help you plan capital expenditures so replacements happen on your timeline, not in an emergency.
Choose the Right Program for Your Facility
Not every facility needs the same level of service. That's why we offer three PM tiers:
Quarterly PM - Four visits per year. Ideal for small commercial spaces, offices, and retail locations with standard HVAC systems. Covers seasonal startup/shutdown, filter changes, and basic diagnostics.
Monthly PM - Twelve visits per year. Designed for restaurants, manufacturing plants, and multi-unit properties where equipment runs hard and downtime is costly. Includes everything in quarterly plus monthly filter service, refrigerant monitoring, and priority scheduling.
Custom Programs - For large facilities, multi-site operations, or specialized requirements. We'll walk your facility, inventory every piece of equipment, and build a maintenance schedule that fits your operation and budget.
