A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) preventative maintenance plan is the best way to keep your system running efficiently and reliably throughout the year. With a scheduled maintenance plan, you can reduce energy costs, boost energy efficiency and minimise breakdowns.
A heating, ventilation and air-conditioning PPM from phs Compliance is an excellent investment. But what does it involve?
If your business uses a commercial air conditioning system, commercial HVAC maintenance is a must-have for safety and efficiency.
The efficiency of your system has a direct impact on employee health and well-being. By improving air quality, you’ll create a comfortable environment that boosts productivity and saves you time and money.
Additionally, your HVAC system must meet legal requirements for refrigerant gases and air pollutants. The simplest way to achieve compliance is by arranging for HVAC planned preventative maintenance by a certified technician.

Being proactive about HVAC maintenance comes with many benefits:
When your HVAC system fails, you could face significant replacement and repair costs. Planned preventative maintenance prevents emergency callouts and business disruption. It also helps to catch issues early, before they have the chance to escalate into bigger problems.
Poorly maintained HVAC systems have high energy consumption, contributing to high running costs. Regular servicing ensures everything is working at maximum efficiency, reducing your energy bills and minimising your environmental impact.
The refrigerant gases in your HVAC system are strictly regulated. It’s your responsibility to meet F-Gas regulations and have leak testing performed by a qualified engineer.
Don’t wait until your HVAC system fails before considering proactive maintenance. Signing up for a PPM contract can ensure that your system runs safely and efficiently at all times.
What's included in your PPM? Regular servicing identifies and fixes issues before your system breaks down. A trained technician will check refrigerant levels, perform leak testing, and adjust thermostat settings as needed. We’ll also conduct a thorough visual inspection, clean the vents and ducts, and change your air filters.
After servicing, we'll log any faults and update your F-Gas logbook for legal compliance.
You should aim to have your HVAC system serviced in the spring and the autumn. Regular seasonal maintenance will give you peace of mind, knowing that your HVAC system can effectively handle both heating and cooling requirements.
Filters are the key to maintaining good air quality as they remove dirt as well as other allergens and contaminants. They should be changed every one to three months, depending on usage levels.
See our recommended HVAC maintenance schedule below. However, in extreme climates or where your HVAC is subject to heavy use, you may need to change air filters or check your refrigerant levels more frequently.
Season | HVAC maintenance tasks |
| |
Spring / summer | Check and log refrigerant levels Test for leaks Clean air filters, blades, ducts, and the evaporator Replace clogged air filters Inspect the cooling system Clear drain lines |
| |
Autumn / winter | Test the thermostat and other safety controls Replace worn-out parts Lubricate all moving parts Run carbon monoxide checks Inspect gas levels Check the heat pump |

Taking care of your HVAC system with regular checks and servicing will ultimately save you time and money in the long run. Additionally, many preventative maintenance contracts offer discounts on parts and labour.
There are also other benefits to entering into a service agreement. You won’t need to schedule your appointments, and we’ll keep a complete log of work undertaken and completed.
Our HVAC PPM contracts also mean you won’t have to worry about emergency repairs, as you’ve been proactive, not reactive.
