Key Considerations

Capital Cost

Life Cycle Cost. Although equipment-replacement costs do not usually appear in the maintenance budget, those costs are irrevocably related. Slipshod maintenance, continued deferral of maintenance, neglect of inspection and lubrication all contribute to a shortened equipment life. One the other hand, inadequate provision of funds for equipment replacement means a commitment of excessive maintenance funds to keep deteriorated equipment in service.

Operating Cost

Cost of Supplies Material and Labor. The direct cost of maintaining the equipment today. Other indirect costs are associated; including the cost of materials procurement, tools, storage, loss, cost of training, hiring, firing, etc.

Cost of Downtime. The most elusive cost impact of a maintenance program is the cost of downtime. When equipment is out of service on an unscheduled basis, that cost does not appear in the maintenance budget. It rarely appears as in item in any budget! Yet this is potentially the largest single justification for the cost of a maintenance program.

The cost of losing an existing or prospective tenant. Another elusive cost, however tenants expect to have a comfortable environment. If they don't they will look for occupancy elsewhere.

Energy Cost

Energy Consumption. The cost of the energy required to operate equipment is usually not considered part of the cost of maintenance for that equipment, but performance can have a dramatic impact on energy costs. For example: Dirty condenser surfaces raise head pressure, thus increasing compressor horsepower; clogged air filters reduce airflow and raise system pressure drop, increasing fan horsepower; improperly set or out-of-calibration controls deliver extra heating and cooling. The cost of extra energy use, resulting from similar situations, can be offset by the cost of the maintenance program, whether that fact is recognized or not!
