Why to Purchase Appliance or Appliance Parts from the Maintenance Company?
May 11, 2023 in Blogs
It is overwhelming many times, but no longer surprising, to find people who actually believe that once you pay for equipment or material and put it in the house, shop, warehouse, or office, that it no longer costs anything to maintain them. The fact is that there are significant costs associated with maintaining these essential parts.
It is critical for the maintenance company to provide the right part, in the right condition, at the right time, and at the right cost to support equipment reliability and the up-time for a shop, warehouse, or office. Even at home, one cannot do without certain essentials like shattaf, fuses, switches, water heater, lights, HVAC systems, etc. That is also a major reason many wise individuals or corporations go for Annual Maintenance contracts (even if parts are not covered) as it helps them curb the risks and uncomfortable situations they might face in the near future.
Here are some key reasons why sticking to the experience of a maintenance company may cost you a little more money but that money stands superbly well invested in the future for your residential /commercial property.
Genuine PartsThe market is filled with a lot of varieties and options to any particular part or component. Plus the booming infrastructure requires a need to bring innovative parts to the market quite often then before. It is very confusing at times especially considering that deep technical knowledge could be required to make a decision on the selection of a part. Also, due to a huge duplicate and refurbished products market, there is the question of genuine parts. Working with an experienced company helps mitigate this risk and choose the right part. | ||
Best in the Industry Spares There is a lot of research and testing that goes into figuring out what works best for any equipment being used. Which parts go where and how they can be useful in the scope of things comes from a lot of experience as well as facing challenges and failures in many real-life scenarios. There are situations where the model numbers of parts from the same company or even different brands can be confusing to choose. The building material supply industry is booming and with the new age new upgraded models are released regularly. Also, the model numbers could change with time, and thus finding the replacement part could become a tedious job. Thus it is better to entrust experienced handymen and professionals to use their absorbed practical knowledge in making these decisions for you. | ||
Savings over a Long Term The goal is to maximize the lifetime value of your physical assets at a reasonable cost. But, it is human nature to be penny-wise and pound-foolish. Many individuals and companies go for quick solutions and low-cost alternatives due to reasons like lack of time for part selection, no or low technical knowledge, or simply get misguided by contractors or freelance handymen. Over the long term, there could be serious damage due to wrong parts. Worse equipment damage means greater repair costs. You could be putting your equipment at risk for substantial damage. A fan functioning at a suboptimal level could lead to overheating that compromises the entire asset. Naturally, this forces you to pay more for repairs; and because the breakdown wasn't planned, you may pay a premium for rush delivery of spare parts as well as increased labor costs for any overtime incurred by your contractor. | ||
Better Support and Time Saving Sometimes you can expect the unexpected. Whether it is short-term or long-term, whenever a problem comes, the ease of being able to ‘call out’ your dependable maintenance or technical company results in less tension, saving your time and efforts. Because the parts have been installed by your maintenance company and especially if they are NOT on an AMC, they are liable to give you replacement parts and even install them again if something goes wrong too early in the life-cycle of the product/equipment installed at your property. | ||
Safety and Security Additionally, family, staff, and/or on-floor working members’ general safety can be compromised by an underperforming piece of equipment with an unnecessarily sub-par component. A true story you may hear many times would be of a machine that overheats and can be a fire hazard or cause burns if someone touches it in your house or shop. | ||
Accuracy, Aesthetics, and Durability A technically sound professional can identify the exact need of a part or material required. For example, if a bathroom needs to be re-tiled, then the measurement of the area as well as getting the right size and specifications of a tile could majorly reduce the time, and cost required to install them. Moreover, where aesthetics play an important role, such decisions make a significant difference. Obsolete and unusable materials add to costs and frustration for clients especially if they buy themselves and then get someone to install the same. Thus the accuracy, aesthetics, and eventually the long-term durability factor becomes far more important than the inherent costs involved. |
The general concept of part costs, as well as the additional costs associated with AMC, should be easy enough to rationalize for even the staunchest unbeliever in a way that he or she can be convinced to rethink their position on relying for parts on an experienced maintenance company like KNOX Technical Services. Long or short-term decisions can be made much easier if you have the support of experienced and technically sound professional support by your side. So don’t hesitate to seek a quote for an AMC with parts coverage.
How much extra do technical & maintenance service providers charge?
Generally an additional of 15-20% handling charges are added to the material cost. In which logistics, warranty products, after-installation service, the responsibility of changing or replacing a faulty part or material and last but not the least buying the same or similar model matching your requirement is taken care of. All this so that you can relax and rest without worry in the world.
