Why One Manufacturer Chose Preventive Maintenance
Stories from the Field: Why One Manufacturer Chose Preventive Maintenance for Its Mission-Critical Equipment
The equipment that runs your business—whether it’s HVAC to keep employees comfortable, or mission-critical manufacturing equipment—must work when it’s needed. The challenge is—how to avoid expensive repairs when equipment fails?
The answer is preventive maintenance—the #1 proven way to increase energy efficiency, lower energy costs and spend less on emergency repairs.
For Ardagh Group, an Ohio-based manufacturer, equipment failure is not an option, but neither are expensive emergency repairs which can devastate cash flow. That’s why they chose to enter into a preventive maintenance agreement with GEM Energy’s HVAC team. Having a service plan in place means well-running equipment and predictable maintenance costs.

GEM Energy’s HVAC Service Plans make it possible for you to enjoy 24/7 service and a guaranteed three-hour emergency response time, all while avoiding expensive maintenance issues, costly breakdowns and cash flow disruptions.
HVAC Service Plan Options include:
- Preventive Maintenance Service Plan—regularly-scheduled maintenance, usually two to four times each year; a basic plan best suited for HVAC systems less than five years old. (Not having a preventive maintenance program in place can invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty on your HVAC system.)
- Comprehensive Maintenance Service Plan—includes all services above, plus repair/replacement of maintainable parts (motors, igniters, compressors, belts, etc.)
- Sustainable Preventive Maintenance Service Plan—includes all services above, plus a self-financing option to spread the cost of an immediate or future HVAC system replacement over an affordable term.
- Comprehensive Maintenance Plus Service Plan—includes all services above, plus repair/replacement of additional equipment items such as condenser and evaporator coils, heat exchangers, actuators, and control boards, plus provides important coverage for replacement of items such as non-maintainable circuit boards, which otherwise could be a major out-of-pocket cost to you.
