Planned
Maintenance visits, filter and belt changes, coil cleaning and control documentation. Normally in hours unless the plant sits over a public area.

Buildings that have to keep trading
Shops, professional suites, clinics, light industrial and small multi-tenant blocks across Arvada and the north-west metro — maintained with a record per unit, and renewed in phases.
01 — Maintenance
A record per unit, not a tick against the site
A site visit that produces one line saying “serviced” is worth very little the day something fails. Every unit on your roof or in your plant room gets its own sheet, and the sheet carries numbers that can be compared to the last visit.
-
Each visit
Filters changed and the size recorded
Size and quantity written on the unit and on the sheet, so a replacement set can be ordered without going back up to look.
-
Each visit
Belt tension, alignment and sheave wear
Checked and adjusted; the belt part number goes on the sheet. A worn sheave gets flagged rather than quietly re-belted year after year.
-
Each visit
Economiser travel and minimum position
Dampers driven through their range, linkage checked, actuator confirmed, and the minimum outside-air position recorded as a number. This is the item most commonly skipped by whoever came before us.
-
Each visit
Coil condition and pressure drop
Both faces inspected, condition graded, and the drop across the coil written down so the trend is visible rather than remembered.
-
Seasonal
Temperature rise in heating, split in cooling
Measured against the data plate, not against expectation. A unit outside its own design range is the earliest honest warning you get.
-
Seasonal
Condensate, drain traps and overflow switches
Cleared and function-tested. The overflow switch is the only thing standing between a blocked drain and a ceiling in the suite below.
-
Documented
Control schedules as actually programmed
Written down before anybody proposes changing them. You should know what your building is running to, even if the person who set it up has long gone.
02 — Premises
What we work on
Rooftop packaged units and their curbs, split systems serving server and comms rooms, make-up air and extract for kitchens and workshops, unit heaters and infrared in warehousing, and the ductwork and grilles between all of it.
Where a building has controls we did not install, the first job is to document what they do. Where it has none, we say so plainly rather than selling a system that the building will not be staffed to use.
- Shops and trade countersDoor-heat losses, short cycling and the unit nobody can hear failing over the music.
- Professional suitesZone complaints, after-hours running, and tenants whose lease says one thing and whose thermostat says another.
- ClinicsFiltration and outside-air rates that are written down, plus scheduling around appointment hours.
- Workshops and light industrialMake-up air balanced against extract, unit heaters, and dust where dust does damage.
03 — Hours
When the work happens
Most of what we do in an occupied building happens outside your trading hours, and the survey is the point at which we agree which hours those are. A clinic with a Thursday half-day and a workshop with a Saturday shift do not get the same plan.
Phased renewal
Nights and weekends, in pieces small enough that the building is conditioned again before it opens. Set out in writing before anything is ordered.
04 — Honestly
What we will not claim
-
No
A response-time guarantee
We will tell you where you are in the queue and we will call back. We will not print a number of hours on a website and then break it in a heatwave.
-
No
A percentage saved on your energy bill
A seized economiser costs you money and fixing it helps. What that is worth depends on your tariff, hours, envelope and weather, none of which we know before the survey.
-
No
Work outside our trade
Roofing, structure, fire alarm interfaces and electrical distribution beyond our isolators are somebody else’s. We photograph what we find and tell you who to call.
