Advice from your installer

A few habits to avoid breakdowns, overspending and nasty surprises, from someone you call when things stop working.

Keep up with maintenance on your equipment

Whatever the system, anything that moves needs servicing. Regular follow-up prevents breakdowns and stoppages in your own business.

A real case

In a large retail store where we worked in January and February, an unmaintained gas heating system broke down for two weeks. Customers stayed away because it was too cold, the cold room behind it fluctuated in temperature and products were lost, and staff were uncomfortable. A week of lost production is roughly a quarter of the month's output.

Invest in a proper survey

An oversized system uses too much energy and you lose money every month. An undersized system never reaches the right temperature and breaks down constantly.

A real case

Cooling 7 tonnes of product to 13 °C with an undersized unit: 13 °C one day, 22 °C the next, and by the end of the week the product is thrown away. We also corrected a 14 hp heat pump where 8 hp would have done, and a 12 hp system at a château that needed 18.

Choose new equipment and a certified installer

We advise against second-hand equipment: you can't know its history of shocks, power cuts and misuse, and a motor can fail three months later. Handling refrigerant fluids also requires certification, and without it the penalties are severe.

Compare studies before replacing

If you're moving from an old system to a modern one, get several studies or quotes and decide based on what they say, not just on price.

Preventive maintenance

What our check-up includes

For a new customer who has never serviced their equipment and doesn't know where it stands.

  1. 1

    We test every component

    Each part of the unit is tested to find out what holds up and what doesn't.

  2. 2

    You receive an activity report

    A clear report of what we found and what we recommend.

  3. 3

    You receive the service report

    It includes the leak report: where the leak was, what was repaired, and how much gas was lost or recovered for destruction.
