As a property manager making sure you have a reliable elevator maintenance company is crucial. If residents can\u2019t get inside their homes with bags full of heavy groceries or tenants can\u2019t get to their 8 am presentations, you\u2019re going to have a serious problem. You need a reputable company. You\u2019ll want to ask a few important questions before hiring a maintenance company to ensure your needs will get met.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Has the Company Been Trained on Your Specific Elevator Brand? <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Not all elevators are created equally, and you\u2019ll want to make sure the company has been trained to repair the specific brand of the elevator you have installed. You may even consider whether or not they\u2019re licensed for specific repairs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Will They Be Available When You Need Them? <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Whether you\u2019re managing a residential property or a commercial business, there will be times when the elevator is needed during non-business hours. You\u2019ll want to make sure that they offer dispatch service and that someone is available 24\/7 in the event that the elevator stops working.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n How Many Properties Does the Maintenance Technician Service<\/strong>?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Even if a technician is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, if they\u2019re responsible for too many properties you may still not receive help when you need it. Make sure the technician has a reasonable amount of properties to oversee.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Will the Mechanic Carry Common Inventory? <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Clearly, you can\u2019t expect every necessary part to be in your mechanic\u2019s truck, but do they at least have the most common types of parts with them? This could help prevent lengthy and unnecessary delays if the technician has to go back to get parts \u2013 or worse, order them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Is There a Back-Up Repair Technician? <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Everyone needs to have a contingency plan, and you\u2019ll want to make sure your elevator maintenance company has a plan in case your technician is unavailable.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n If you\u2019re ready to hire someone and want answers to these questions, contact Action Elevator<\/a> at (410) 774-4573<\/a> or john@actionelevator.info<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As a property manager making sure you have a reliable elevator maintenance company is crucial.
