Autumn is well and truly here in Australia now. While we’re still a little while off of the truly cold months, it’s better to prepare your facility for the cool change now rather than later. If you’re looking for a few tips to really get your building ready for the cooler months, read on.
Stay on Top of Preventive Maintenance
Preventative maintenance is always important, but it becomes critical in the lead-up to extreme weather seasons. Heating systems, insulation, and essential infrastructure should be checked and serviced early to avoid costly breakdowns during winter.
If keeping track of tasks feels overwhelming, consider using facility management software like MYBOS. With tools such as an interactive calendar, automated reminders, and contractor management, it’s easier than ever to schedule and oversee preventative maintenance across your building.
Upgrade to energy-saving assets where possible
The incoming cooler months are the perfect opportunity to upgrade any applicable assets to energy-saving ones. Not only are climate controls one of the biggest expenses for commercial facilities, but excessive use requires them to be maintained more frequently. Energy-saving alternatives will help the planet and your pocket in the long run.
Perform a roofing check
Checking your roofing often gets left off the preventative maintenance schedule as it’s not an asset, but taking the time to perform a check on your roofing will ultimately benefit you. Your roof is a vital structure to your building, so take the time to check for possible areas that could cause leaks or water damage.
