Preventive Maintenance - Commercial


Why Consider a Preventive Maintenance Program?

The objective of a Preventive Maintenance program designed by Thermodyn, Inc. is to prevent functional failure.  This objective can be accomplished only by maintaining proper operations, by replacing necessary parts and by lubricating regularly.  Faulty operation, failing parts, or lack of lubrication can create equipment failure that will in turn, cause loss of equipment, loss of production, or the unscheduled loss or use of an area in the facility.  Many times these failures necessitate major repairs and lead to expensive emergency service work.

A simple refrigerant pipe leak undetected for a short period can cause loss of refrigerant, equipment failure or even compressor failure.

A simple loose wire connection undetected can cause sparks, fire, blowing of fuses, or even at time premature equipment failure.

Studies show that Heating and Cooling units on retail facilities run approximately 2000 hours per year.  This is equivalent of driving a car 60,000 miles per year.  A Preventive Maintenance program is basically like changing the oil in your car per the manufacturer’s recommendation.

Some of the major advantages to a Thermodyn, Inc. Preventive Maintenance Program are as follows:
  • Preventive maintenance will increase the efficiency of your systems.

  • Dirty air filters will reduce the capacity of a system.

  • During preventive maintenance inspections, an air conditioning unit’s refrigerant pressure is checked.  This procedure can help warn if there is any leakage in the system.  It is found that a loss in refrigerant reduces a system’s efficiency by up to 60%.  Moreover, unnoticed refrigerant loss can lead to very expensive compressor failures. Reduce repairs.

  • In general preventive maintenance increases comfort, increases system capacity, lowers operating costs and insures longer equipment life.
