Use this checklist for commercial property preventative maintenance to ensure your equipment is running at optimal performance.

If you are a business owner, you understand the magnitude of responsibilities that you have every day. It’s a full-time job that demands your time and full attention. Your commercial property preventative maintenance of your building is a high priority, but major repairs aren’t exactly something you want on your daily to do list. Use this checklist to ensure your equipment is running at optimal performance so you can focus on running your business smoothly.

HVAC

Failing to perform routine maintenance on your cooling and heating systems can have some devastating consequences. Not only is replacing a full HVAC system expensive and likely to put a heavy dent in your yearly budget, but your employees and customers will suffer also, putting a heavy dent in your profits. Be sure to perform maintenance every three months to prevent costly mistakes in the future.

Electrical

It is recommended to inspect wires, circuit breakers, cables, chargers and power stations to ensure they are free of debris and accumulation. Cleaning and dusting these areas, powering lights off and on, and ensuring proper ventilation should all be apart of a routine checklist. Noticeable cracks or deterioration should be reported and repaired immediately.

Plumbing

Plumbing is one of those things that can easily be taken for granted until things go horribly wrong. Slow draining and clogged toilets are early signs of a plumbing problem. Address issues as soon as you become aware and be diligent about performing maintenance at least once a year.

Kitchens and Bathrooms

Ensure your facilities are running efficiently with updated fixtures and working equipment. Things like cracked or missing tiles, damaged fixtures, or missing grout give a bad impression to potential customers and can foreshadow more complicated repairs down the line.

Roof

The last thing anyone wants is to have your business under construction due to a roof replacement. It is inconvenient and not attractive for business. It is recommended to inspect your roof twice a year, take notice of small repairs, and update as needed. With proper maintenance, your roof can last up to twenty years!
