It’s that time of year – Fall. But… Winter is coming!

Prevent the Ills of Equipment Failure

Often building owners overlook the correct procedures for closing down the AC properly at the end of the warmer months. However, equipment that is not shut down properly may not be able to start up again at the time it is needed most. Like the AC system, the heating system needs to be prepared in advance. According to Steve W. of GSH Group, “It is more cost-effective to avoid emergency service calls during the really cold months and to have your equipment repaired before the heating system begins.” Proper preventive maintenance reduces costly repairs, extends equipment life, and increases tenant satisfaction.
