Why Planned Preventative Maintenance Beats Reactive Repairs
Heather Lisle • October 28, 2023
Planning your maintenance can mean returns in the long run.
It can be tempting to put off maintenance tasks and repairs until absolutely necessary. But while reactive maintenance might seem like it saves time and money in the moment, it almost always costs more in the long run compared to rigorous preventative maintenance. Here’s why planned preventative maintenance beats reactive repairs:
- Preventative maintenance allows you to strategically schedule downtime rather than suffering through unplanned equipment failures at the most inconvenient times.
- With preventative maintenance, technicians can thoroughly inspect systems and tighten, lubricate, replace minor parts. This extends equipment lifespan much more than just fixing things when broken.
- Repairs tend to be cheaper and easier when issues are caught early through preventative maintenance inspections versus waiting for total failure.
- Planned maintenance consolidates tasks so multiple inspections happen at once rather than needing repetitive emergency visits.
- Detailed maintenance logs from preventative care give far greater visibility into asset health and future needs compared to just reacting to what breaks.
- Proactive maintenance improves occupant and employee satisfaction by minimizing disruptive breakdowns.
