Introducing National Standards for HVAC Maintenance Tasking We’ve timed every rooftop maintenance task to within 30 seconds to assure fair and accurate pricing standards. Imagine the power of knowing what the national average is(in time and cost) for changing a filter, or for checking your economizer. Having field-tested tasking data would certainly help you defend against overcharges. More importantly though, it would take the shroud of mystery out of PM pricing from your HVAC Contractor. Over the last 7 years, we have recorded and posted actual time data for maintenance tasks from over 36,000 rooftop units commissioned and maintained. This cumulative information is kept in a central database we call “National Tasking.” Our data has become a valuable asset to our clients as a national standard to judge their current and future PM programs – whether that’s with Engineering Excellence or other service providers. With that kind of information, our clients have literally pinpointed the exact amount of time they wanted to allocate for their particular PM programs based on what they want to accomplish and the condition of individual stores. They’ve also had the empirical data to be able to identify PM pricing that literally “didn’t add up”. We can easily give you budget figures for your entire portfolio, across different regions, and with varying labor rates. National Tasking data is a powerful tool for saving both time and money. It puts you in a much stronger position to evaluate PM programs and take control of the confusing maintenance costs and invoices that are constantly coming across your desk. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a 50 point maintenance checklist with standard times and costs in front of you when you are evaluating your PM quotations? It’s possible. It starts by clicking here.   A Return to Simplicity: Each Task Takes Time. Your Cost is Based on Time. Because we document the time and cost of every function we perform, PM costing is very simple. If you want a comprehensive 50 point PM, we add the time it takes to perform all 50 tasks and multiply it by our hourly rate and that’s the cost. Using the same process we can calculate the cost for a 15 or 30 point PM. This kind of straight forward approach to pricing is something our clients find refreshing. Imagine that . . . HVAC PM pricing you can trust?Trust and Confidence is the Goal. Lots of companies use words like honesty and integrity. At Engineering Excellence, we’ve built those values into our business processes. If we can’t document it, why should you pay for it? You see, real trust and real confidence is based on performance – performance achieved through repeatable practices and standards. Does your current service provider have time and costing standards for its maintenance tasks? Our National Tasking Database is just part of what we call “The Mind of Excellence” — a set of information and intelligence assets we use to help our clients navigate through the complexity of costs and tasks required to maintain their chain’s facilities. Let “The Mind of Excellence” help you explore new possibilities. To find out more about our National Tasking Database, click here.
