HVAC is the collective name for the different equipment and installations that provide Heating, Ventilation and Air conditioning within your company. Adequate indoor temperature plays an important role in well-being and boosting productivity in the workplace. It is therefore extremely important to maintain these installations correctly and regularly.
In addition, the preventive maintenance of these installations offers many other advantages to your business. Find out, in this blog, what preventive maintenance includes and what are the specific benefits for your HVAC installations.
What is preventive maintenance?
By preventive maintenance we mean the regular inspection and maintenance of equipment and facilities in order to avoid possible breakdowns, malfunctions and sudden repairs.
HVAC installations are systems that require preventive maintenance in order to be able to continue to function properly without consequences. This means thoroughly cleaning the interior and exterior of appliances, removing debris and dust from fans and other parts, and checking certain parts for wear or damage. In addition, all filters are replaced, wiring examined, and all screws are properly tightened.
Finally, everything is documented so that the correct information on maintenance and maintenance dates is always available.
Benefits of preventive maintenance for your HVAC installations
You know, of course, that proper maintenance of all your systems and installations is important for proper functioning, but what exactly is the added value of preventive maintenance for your HVAC installations? Well, we can divide the benefits into three main pillars, namely: cost reduction, improved air quality and reduced ecological footprint.
Cost reduction
Properly maintained HVAC installations can save you substantial amounts of money. This is partly due to reduced energy costs, but also to a longer service life of all equipment and a greatly reduced risk of malfunctions and defects to be repaired.
Reduced energy consumption
Preventive maintenance of your HVAC systems can reduce the energy consumption of your installations by up to 30%. This of course has a positive effect on your energy bill.
Longer life
When these installations are checked and maintained regularly, the chances of repairing or completely replacing an entire system are greatly reduced. Your HVAC system will last longer, which means your costs will go down as well.
Avoid breakdowns
Preventive maintenance of HVAC installations allows you to avoid possible malfunctions and breakdowns. This has a direct impact not only on your costs, but also on the overall productivity of your business. Your employees see the workplace as a pleasant and comfortable place to do their jobs well.
Guarantee
If at some point you need to have part of your HVAC system overhauled, it is to your advantage to be able to provide proof of preventive maintenance. After all, many manufacturers use this rule to judge whether the repair can be covered by a possible warranty or not.
Improved air quality
Preventive maintenance of your HVAC system has a significant impact on the air quality within your business. Indeed, the air circulation is always filtered and clean. This reduces the risk of bacteria being present in your premises, which has a positive effect on the well-being of your employees and the overall productivity of your business.
Reduction of the ecological footprint
We have stated it here: HVAC installations that are subject to preventive maintenance consume much less energy, which already significantly reduces your company’s ecological footprint.
In addition, during preventive maintenance, all installations will always be adjusted as correctly as possible, taking into account the needs of your business. This way, your HVAC system will never run unnecessarily, which is to the benefit of your business.
