Preventative maintenance contracts usually cover filter changes, coil cleaning, refrigerant checks, diagnostics, and seasonal system tune-ups. Harold Brothers builds these programs around the specific equipment and operating needs of each client, rather than offering one-size-fits-all coverage. Harold Brothers offers PM scheduling guidance.
Routine maintenance lowers repair frequency and improves efficiency. Industry studies show a 5:1 return on investment for preventative maintenance, meaning every $1 spent can save $5 or more in avoided repairs and downtime. Harold Brothers has seen these results firsthand across schools, office buildings, and healthcare facilities in New England
Unlike many contractors, Harold Brothers structures contracts with transparency and flexibility. Building owners can expect proactive scheduling, detailed reporting, and a focus on extending system life, not pushing unnecessary replacements.
