A slew of calls from disgruntled tenants on the first 90-degree day of the season is any facility manager’s worst nightmare. Keeping your building comfortable is a top priority. You don’t have time for critical HVAC issues that have been overlooked by sloppy “visual checks.” No matter what you’ve been told, there’s no way to properly diagnose HVAC concerns just by looking at the equipment.

A great mechanical services firm won’t skip over the details. At Trimark Mechanical, our methodical, proactive maintenance keeps your space comfortable while saving money and avoiding costly, unexpected repairs.

Consider a task as seemingly simple as coil cleaning. Kathleen Gaw, General Manager of Trimark shares how oversight can cause major issues:

“Coil cleaning is a major maintenance issue for many property managers. Coils get dirty and blocked over time. However, many low-cost service contractors often exclude this item from maintenance contracts to keep costs down. The fact is, coil cleaning needs to be done at least once a year. If coils aren’t cleaned annually, other major components are greatly stressed, frequently to the point of failure.”

That’s not the least of it. Thorough inspection, including basic testing, is required to determine the condition of each of the major components. Compressors, motors, and solid state boards can’t be visually checked for proper operation. Trimark tests and records readings of each of these components, comparing the result to the manufacturer’s specifications.
