Maintenance contracts & digital asset registers
Preston businesses on a maintenance contract get more than a service visit. Every site we look after is set up with a digital asset register listing each unit, its location, model, refrigerant type and service history — the evidence you need for F-Gas record keeping and audits.
- • Planned preventative maintenance (PPM) schedules
- • F-Gas leak testing and statutory record keeping
- • Live breakdown & fault records per site
- • QR codes on each unit for instant system lookup
- • Named contact and reporting for facilities teams
- • Priority response for contracted sites
Engineers and site staff scan the QR code on a unit to pull up its full record and report a fault on the spot — no paperwork, no chasing.
