Important Building Maintenance Advice<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Each and every building is unique, and therefore requires varying methods and levels of care depending on the season. This means it is important for property owners to get onboard with the process of preserving their premises, year-round. Small commercial repairs and remodels are wise investments, and inevitable overtime, but you can avoid large-scale damages and prevent premature construction needs with a simple commercial building maintenance plan, and a little knowledge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Start with these important seasonal commercial building maintenance and renovation reminders:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u27b2 Get Rid of Incandescent Bulbs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Replace all incandescent bulbs with LED (light emitting diode) or CFL (compact fluorescent light) bulbs before the cooler seasons arrive. Although a somewhat higher initial cost, LED lightbulbs and CFL lightbulbs have several benefits making them a great investment overall. Utility costs are instantaneously reduced as energy is saved, and they last more than double the life of standard incandescent bulbs. Also, put lights on an automatic system so that energy is not wasted. You may be interested in adding more natural lighting to your commercial space. If so, see our blog, “The Benefits of Natural Light in an Office Setting<\/a>” to learn how it can promote cost-savings and staff productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A broken window may not seem like an issue that needs immediate attention, but it does. This is especially true for commercial properties that are retail or provide a service to customers. Not only does a broken window immediately turn away new and potential clientele, it costs property owners money by the minute. This is because energy is wasted while conditioned air is lost, and unconditioned air enters. In fact, see our blog, “The Benefit of Store Front Window Maintenance<\/a>” for additional helpful advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Standing water in pipes can quickly freeze in low temperatures, but it requires even lower temperatures to freeze running water. In freezing temperatures, leave the water running overnight. Do not leave a faucet entirely open because this will only waste a lot of water and money. Instead, simply leave a delicate and light stream of water from a faucet to keep the flow moving throughout the night. The price of plumbing repairs for an entire building as a result of frozen pipes is not cheap. And it is never a quick fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When winter comes, you need to shovel that snow. And when summer comes, you need to water the plants. And when that special time of year comes, you need to have all of your walkways and siding power washed. Outdoor upkeep of a commercial property is crucial if a building owner wants to preserve value, as well as, reduce onsite accidents, hazards, obstructions, and structural wear and tear. Don\u2019t procrastinate when it comes to taking care of the exterior parts of your building and property. Many real estate owners neglect this duty of care and wind up needing remodeling or restoration services down the line. Remember, tackle small projects while they\u2019re still small!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contact BAF Corporation at 317-253-0531<\/strong> for trusted commercial renovation<\/a> and facility maintenance service in Indianapolis, Indiana and its surrounding locations.
