Planned maintenance also known as preventative maintenance. It is a proactive strategy where maintenance and inspections on property assets are scheduled at regular interims. This ensures that an item or fixture is maintained to a certain standard and to minimise costs.
The benefits of planned or preventative maintenance are much more than saving money. Some benefits of preventative maintenance include:
Did you know… that you are twice as likely to die in a house fire if you do not have a working smoke alarm at your home or investment property?
Gutter cleaning is a maintenance often neglected by property owners.
It is time consuming and hard to do yourself especially if the building is more than two storeys.
Electrical maintenance is the general upkeep of electrical systems on building’s or any other property that have electrical meters. This involves fixing any faulty wiring, keeping up-to date with the Australian Standard of electrical works, i.e. Switch boards, electrical appliances, power outlets and switches and more.
Disadvantages: Catches leaves rather than allowing them to slide off the roof of your property. Leaves also get trapped under the tiles which is very difficult to get out without removing the flat metal gutter guard.
Recommend: Replace with a leaf screen system. Easier to maintain and clean. Initially expensive to install although you save money in the long run.
