A rooftop unit that fails in a heat wave or a cold snap costs more than the repair: closed rooms, uncomfortable customers, unhappy tenants and, in a restaurant or medical office, lost business. Preventive maintenance (some call it preventative maintenance) is the best way to avoid it: equipment is inspected, cleaned and adjusted on a schedule, so worn parts are found and replaced before they fail. Lancaster Heating and Cooling provides preventive maintenance for commercial heating and cooling equipment for businesses and property managers across Hamilton, Halton and Niagara.
Talk to Us About Your BuildingNo templates
Commercial preventive maintenance isn’t a package you pick from a list. A plaza with several rooftop units, a restaurant with a make-up air unit and a busy kitchen, and a multi-unit building heated by boilers each need something different. So we start with a conversation about your building:
- The equipment: what’s there, how old it is and what’s been failing.
- The building: its size, how each space is used and when it’s occupied.
- Your requirements: landlord, lease, insurer or head-office standards, warranty terms and budget.
- How many sites: one location or several. See HVAC for property managers.
From there we agree on what gets maintained, how often and when, and adjust it as your buildings and equipment change.
What we maintain
- Rooftop units (RTUs). See rooftop units.
- Split, ductless and heat pump systems in offices, server rooms and additions.
- Unit heaters in shops, warehouses and garages.
- Make-up air units. See make-up air.
- Boilers and circulator pumps in older and multi-unit buildings. See boilers.
- Commercial water heaters, tank and tankless.
Why prevention pays
Most breakdowns start small: a worn belt, a dirty coil, a failing part. Caught on a planned visit, they’re cheap to fix and you choose the timing. Caught by a tenant on the hottest day of the year, they aren’t. When equipment does fail, our technicians are on call 24/7. See commercial HVAC repair.
