The purpose of an HVAC maintenance checklist and having a functional preventative maintenance system (PMS) is to be proactive versus reactive regarding system maintenance. The bottom line: HVAC equipment is mechanical and mechanical equipment can fail. Planning ahead and knowing how to properly develop a checklist and prepare PMS schedules is essential to timely scheduling, accomplishment, and documentation of work responsibilities. It is important to remember, though, that developing an HVAC maintenance checklist and its scheduling is only one part of PMS management. Knowing your systems end-to-end and being aware whether it’s time for coil cleaning, cooling tower maintenance, duct work cleaning and boiler cleaning is required as well.

Keys to HVAC Success: Coil Cleaning, Cooling Tower Cleaning & Boiler Cleaning
There are many paths that can lead to a career in building and facilities management. Some paths may involve having done something horrible in a past life for which you are now being punished. The rest seem to be related to having some experience and expertise in one or more aspects of the business, such as electrical, plumbing or general maintenance.
One aspect requires knowledge in all those areas – HVAC. Mundane activities such as coil cleaning, cooling tower cleaning, duct cleaning and boiler cleaning are key. A building’s HVAC system uses plumbing and pipes for the circulation of water and coolants or refrigerants. It uses ducts and fans for the movement and circulation of air and other gases, and it uses all manner of general equipment such as blowers, gears, vents and switches.
