If you run a commercial space and are looking for a maintenance contractor, you should know that you can choose how often they come. There are planned maintenance contracts to serve the needs of businesses and homeowners who need regular work done on their equipment and electrics. As well as that, there’s also reactive maintenance. Let’s take a closer look at what this service is.
What Is Reactive Maintenance?
Reactive maintenance, or breakdown maintenance, is when maintenance is carried out when needed rather than on a pre-planned schedule. It’s a simple way to keep on top of everything and doesn’t require you to spend time planning or preparing for services that may be deemed unnecessary.
This doesn’t mean to say that you need to phone up any random contractor in your time of need. Having a breakdown maintenance contract means that you have a trusted company that you can call on when required. The benefit of having a familiar contractor is that they’ll know what your company needs and can arrive prepared with the right parts and equipment for the job at hand.
Pros Of Breakdown Maintenance
You only need to pay for services when they’re required. Although equipment can break at any time, it may not need the amount of work that’s put into a regular planned maintenance contract. This particularly applies to new machines and environments where you rarely experience breakdowns. It also means that you don’t need to sacrifice using your equipment during its servicing. Once it’s back to full health, you can keep on using it without having to pause for maintenance work.
Cons Of Breakdown Maintenance
There are a few drawbacks to choosing a reactive maintenance contract instead of a planned one. Some pieces of equipment will have a shorter lifespan when left to run until breakdown time after time. It can also be more expensive to fix machines when they’re broken, as opposed to maintaining them little and often. These issues won’t affect all businesses, so if you’re unsure which schedule will suit you best, it’s a good idea to pick up the phone and have a chat with our team.
