How preventive maintenance lowers facility operating costs
Regular preventive maintenance cuts sudden breakdowns, extends equipment life and lowers running costs. Here are the key steps.
Many facilities wait for a breakdown before acting, paying for an emergency repair and lost operating time together. Preventive maintenance reverses this: a scheduled check before the failure instead of an expensive fix after it.
What is preventive maintenance?
A programme of scheduled visits and checks for building systems such as air conditioning, electrical and plumbing, following a clear timetable and checklists.
Key benefits
