Are you responsible for the smooth operation of your building’s essential services?
If you are, then let us help you.
Our comprehensive Service Contracts ensure that your mechanical and electrical systems are running efficiently, safely, and reliably all year round.
Pump systems generally require professional servicing every 6 to 12 months, depending on their application, usage intensity, and type.
While annual maintenance is often sufficient for standard residential systems, high-use commercial or municipal systems usually require more frequent, 3-6 month servicing intervals.
KEY FACTORS INFLUENCING SERVICE FREQUENCY
☑️ Residential Sump/Pump Stations: Generally every 12 months
☑️ Commercial/Wastewater Pumps: Every 6 months due to higher load and potential for clogging
☑️ Critical Infrastructure/High Load: Monthly or quarterly, especially in high flood risk areas or heavy industrial applications
☑️ Well Pumps: Annually, with bi-annual checks for older systems or hard water areas
☑️ Heat Pumps: Annually, with some systems benefitting from bi-annual checks (pre-winter and pre-summer)
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Beyond annual professional service, regular in-house checks are recommended to ensure longevity:
☑️ Daily: Check for unusual noise, excessive vibration, or leaks.
☑️ Weekly: Check suction/discharge pressure and inspect for corrosion.
☑️ Monthly: Clean filters, check lubrication levels, and verify motor/pump alignment.
☑️ Annually: Comprehensive service (mechanical and electrical checks) by a qualified technician.
SIGNS A PUMP NEEDS IMMEDIATE SERVICE
If you notice increased energy consumption, unusual noises (clunking or crunching), excessive vibration, or a drop in pressure/performance, a maintenance call should be scheduled immediately.
A service contract for your building’s services can extend the life of your plant, identify repair needs before they become breakdowns, and give you the ultimate peace of mind.
