Preventative Maintenance

Your Trusted Partner in Preventative Maintenance

At Answer Air Services, we believe that prevention is always better than cure, especially when it comes to your air conditioning systems. We understand that air conditioning is often overlooked until it breaks down, at which point it becomes an urgent issue. This is why we offer tailored preventative maintenance solutions for all types of businesses.

We understand that although air conditioning is generally not thought about until it breaks down, but when it does it becomes an urgent issue. Whether the air conditioning system serves an office environment, computer rooms, cold storage, or health services, a routine maintenance plan for your air conditioning equipment will not only prolong the life of your air conditioning system, but will save you capital expenditure on costly repairs which could have been avoided with simple maintenance activities.

Answer Air Services has ongoing air conditioning maintenance contracts all over Sydney, with clients ranging from Property Managers, Business Managers, Corporate Managers, Small Business Owners, and Facility management companies.

Some of our clients are:

Air Liquide Healthcare, Boral, CBRE, Snap Printing, OZE Pharmacy, Metro Hospitality Group, Transfield Services, Wesley Mission.

Some of the benefits the above clients enjoy are as follows:

Lower monthly utility bills – By doing simple procedures, such as changing an air filter, or cleaning a coil allows the unit to work much easier. When the unit works easier, less energy is being used.
Fewer breakdowns – Over 40% of air conditioning breakdowns are caused because of lack of maintenance. Once dirt gets into the system, parts are more likely to rust and get ruined. By checking your entire AC system, we find problems before they arise.
Warranties – Most companies do not accept an air conditioning repair warranty claims when a unit has issues due to lack of maintenance.
