Planned maintenance agreements are an excellent way to keep costs and disruptions to a minimum while maximizing your system’s performance through timely planned maintenance. When it comes to Safety, or any other type of critical hardware, a service contract can simplify your repair and maintenance commitments. Here are five reasons why a service contract is actually a very cost-effective deal:

#1 – Save Money, Control Costs

The most expensive repair is the one that needs to be done at peak hours or in the middle of the night. Service contractors charge higher hourly labour rates for overtime or on-call service. With a service contract, your service provider will schedule routine maintenance during off-peak hours, ensuring that your equipment is in good condition so that peak-hour failures are kept to a minimum.

#2 – Save Time

Your equipment won’t wait for the moment that’s most convenient for you when it decides to fail. Instead, it will almost certainly fail at a moment that will be inconvenient and most costly for you and your business. Once it does fail, you will incur costly delays and outage time while an available field technician makes his or her way out to the site to identify the problem and make the repair. When it comes to door hardware, this translates into very costly disruption of service, leading to unhappy, disconnected customers, as well as liability concerns from a safety and security standpoint. This translates into increased risk of theft and personal safety.

Service contracts ensure that your equipment is maintained in optimal condition, mitigating possible failures and reducing the probability of post-outage scrambles to arrange for emergency restoration.

#3 – Minimize Equipment Downtime

Equipment failure/downtime impacts the efficiency of your entire system, negatively affecting the experience of your customers. With a service contract, your equipment is kept in top shape to minimize unexpected downtime and the cost impact of disruption of services to your customers.

#4 – Improved System Performances

As part of your service contract, your service contractor will ensure that all of your equipment is functioning correctly. By conducting disciplined preventative maintenance routines and testing, repairing or replacing any necessary hardware, updating factory installed firmware, cleaning, inspecting and testing, your network will continue to function at top efficiency, rather than being bogged down by worn out or faulty equipment.

There are a lot of field service providers in the market. Making use of a service contract from a reliable supplier means you’re engaging with a qualified and certified professional in power equipment. Get the best service by the people who design and make the equipment – they’ll always use genuine parts and never need to guess how to fix problems.
