This means that constant and consistent maintenance is needed for it to stay healthy. Here\u2019s a short list of some of the top things your customers should be cognizant of year-round:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Testing sensors and thermostats for full functionality<\/li>\n<li>Keeping coils, drains, pans, etc., clean<\/li>\n<li>Making sure that safety measures are working and still up to date for the system<\/li>\n<li>Pressure checks for certain components<\/li>\n<li>Inspections of all connections and motor operations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Monitoring<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now to ensure that your system is energy efficient, has clear and unobstructed ventilation, and is in well-working condition, HVAC\/BAS system needs constant and consistent <strong>monitoring<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>By monitoring the system(s), your customer is also able to track the performance of any and all systems, energy consumption and efficiency, and alerts for faults, inefficiencies, and system failures. It will help them be cost-effective and ensure that all problems that pop up are taken care of immediately before they can cause major damage that results in major costs due to system failure(s).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Management<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lastly, put maintenance and monitoring together and you get <strong>management<\/strong>. To keep an HVAC\/BAS system in peak condition, you must be able to effectively manage systems from top to bottom; being vigilant through monitoring and keeping up with maintenance year-round is imperative for effective management. Without it, your customers are just creating a more complex problem for you to solve at some point and we already know you\u2019re having to do more with less these days.<\/p>\n<p>The 3 M\u2019s of HVAC have you covered year-round (just like Kele does).
