Why it’s Important to Invest in Routine Maintenance

Though routine and regular maintenance might seem like an unnecessary expense to some people, it is actually very important. Scheduled service visits may actually save you time and money in the long run.

 Optimal Functionality:

 In order to keep large expensive equipment functioning at its peak performance, regular maintenance is required. Maintenance ensures that all pieces and parts are working together for as long as they possibly can. Think about your car; would you skip an oil change, getting new brakes, or belts? Most likely not. People are well aware of how easily they can have car trouble without keeping up with these things. During regular elevator maintenance, a service technician will make sure that everything is lubricated, working properly, and they will replace any broken, old or worn-down parts. Waiting to do these things can cause major damage to your elevator, thus making repairs more expensive and adding unnecessary downtime. You can easily prevent a disaster like this by keeping up with routine maintenance. 

 Ensure Safety and Compliance:

 All elevator equipment needs state required annual testing. For certain types of equipment, five-year testing is required to make sure your elevator is in compliance. Once it has passed all testing, you will receive your certificate of operation. When your elevator is being maintained, your service technician will also ensure that your elevator is in compliance with state code requirements and free from possible issues that can cause breakdowns/ violations.

 Regular elevator maintenance helps prevent common malfunctions such as rough rides, poor leveling, and poor door operation; Technicians will ensure everything is working properly.Doing this will keep your building occupants safe from possible falls and/or injury. 

 In the end, it is very important to get your elevators routinely maintained.
