*During the life of the unit (15 years)
The total HVAC cost divided by the number of years the equipment is in service; results in your unit cost per year. (The industry standard for the useful economic life expectancy of a rooftop HVAC unit is 12 to 15 years.) A rooftop unit is expensive to purchase, maintain, operate and replace. By instituting a comprehensive preventive maintenance program, you will increase your efficiency, save energy and experience fewer breakdowns ultimately spending less money. The goal is not to spend more money, just to spend your money differently and more wisely.
Benefits of preventive maintenance programs also include:
- Increased employee productivity by providing a comfortable, clean work environment. By introducing outside or fresh air, you will flush out volatile organic compounds and improve your indoor air quality. If your air filters are changed regularly and the proper amount of outside or fresh air is introduced into your facility, your employees will be healthier.
- Providing a comfortable workplace can reduce employee turnover. If an employee is uncomfortable on the job he might begin looking for better working conditions.
- A steady flow to your operation because there is no disruption caused by unplanned breakdowns.
- Cost savings – surveys indicate that breakdown repairs cost three times more than preventive maintenance.
- The potential for increased sales because the customer is more comfortable and is willing to spend more time in your store.
Comprehensive maintenance will extend the useful economic life of your units, reduce your energy costs and reduce your breakdown repair costs.
