Facility managers are saying ”yes” more and more often to maintenance agreements.

The benefit is clear. Facility and maintenance managers are busy and don’t always have the time or tools to maintain complicated systems, like HVAC. By having a maintenance agreement, maintenance professionals can focus on their day job and less on systems that require too much time and/or specialized knowledge.

Additionally, the top concern for facility managers is energy efficiency. Your goal remains steady: reduce energy costs. Maintenance agreements will do just that. Ensuring the HVAC system is right-sized and efficient as possible. Poorly maintained HVAC is a major cause of higher energy bills, and maintenance agreements will solve that.

What is a Maintenance Agreement?

A maintenance agreement is a contract that outlines expectations regarding equipment, building, and other technology maintenance in case of a facility mishap or emergency. Typically, these agreements are set up on an annual basis to guarantee ongoing services and upkeep throughout the year.

Maintenance agreements prove to be extremely helpful for facilities. They lay the groundwork for contacts, fees, and frequency of scheduled maintenance. You might consider entering your facility in a maintenance agreement with your HVAC, plumbing, or landscape provider to ensure continuous upkeep and optimal performance.
