WHAT IS MISSED MAINTENANCE?
Missed Maintenance occurs when a routine upkeep task is not performed at the recommended intervals. This can affect machinery, HVAC systems, or operational infrastructure. Even minor issues can escalate into major issues, causing inefficiencies and operational disruptions.
CONSEQUENCES FOR MISSED MAINTENANCE:
Higher repair and replacement costs: Reactive repairs are typically three to five times more expensive than preventive maintenance.
Safety risk and legal compliance issues: Equipment malfunctions or neglected systems can lead to safety hazards, accidents, or OSHA violations.
Shortened equipment lifespan: Without regular care, assets wear out more quickly, reducing their useful life and resulting in premature replacements.
COMMON CAUSES OF MISSED MAINTENANCE
Poor scheduling: A lack of a centralized or automated maintenance schedule can result in forgotten or conflicting tasks.
Human error: Manual tracking or oversight often leads to mistakes or missed deadlines.
Insufficient training: Inexperienced or poorly trained staff may not recognize issues needing attention.
FAQs
-
Professional Tune-Ups: Schedule annual or bi-annual service with an HVAC professional to catch small issues before they become major problems.
Filter Replacement: Change or clean air filters every 30 to 60 days, especially during high-usage periods.
Clear the Outdoor Unit: Ensure the area around your outdoor condenser is free of grass clippings, weeds, and other debris to maintain proper airflow.
Monitor for Leaks: Regularly inspect the condensate drain pan for standing water, which could indicate a clog.
Check for Odd Signs: Call a technician if you notice warm air blowing, strange noises, or frequent cycling.

Enhanced Safety and Reliability: For systems that use combustion, such as gas furnaces, neglected maintenance poses serious safety risks that can be improved with regular checks:
Carbon Monoxide Leaks: Improper venting or damage to a furnace's heat exchanger can lead to carbon monoxide leaking into your home. Regular inspections can detect these dangerous issues.
Electrical Fires: Overheating electrical components, loose wiring, and dirty parts can increase the risk of an electrical fire. Safety checks during maintenance mitigate this risk.
We catch potential safety hazards and inspect for dangerous issues, such as carbon monoxide leaks from a gas furnace or electrical hazards.

System Reliability and Lifespan: Without routine service, small issues can escalate into significant mechanical failures, leading to system breakdowns and a shorter equipment lifespan. Maintenance helps with weaknesses like:
Unexpected Breakdowns: Regular tune-ups can catch and resolve small issues before they cause a full system failure, saving you from expensive emergency repairs.
Frozen Evaporator Coils: Restricted airflow from dirty filters or low refrigerant can cause the evaporator coils to freeze, leading to poor cooling and potential compressor damage.
Faulty Electrical Components: Loose connections, damaged wiring, and worn-out parts like capacitors and contactors can lead to frequent system shutdowns or complete failure. Maintenance checks identify and fix these problems.
Clogged Condensate Drains: A blocked drain line can cause water leaks, leading to property damage and mold growth. Maintenance can clear the line to prevent clogs.
Warranty Protection: Many HVAC manufacturers require proof of regular, professional maintenance to keep your warranty valid. Skipping tune-ups could leave you responsible for the full cost of future repairs.
