In-House vs. Outsourced HVAC Maintenance: Which Is Best?

Whether you have a commercial property owner or facility manager, you need to prioritize HVAC maintenance. After all, your heating and cooling units play a significant role in the overall comfort and health of your employees or tenants. 

When it comes to HVAC maintenance, two types of plans come to mind: in-house and outsourced. Learn which best suits your business. Dittmer Air and Heat discuss both options. 

In-House HVAC Services

Most companies have a plan for keeping their HVAC management in-house. They may have a schedule of their maintenance plan and will utilize their on-site employees to perform jobs. Compared to the employees of an HVAC contractor, in-house employees have typically more years of service at your commercial building and are more familiar with the business and its expectations. 

Another advantage of in-house HVAC services is the quick response time. Should a problem arise, in-house employees can handle it more rapidly than a phone call to an off-site contractor. As such, any HVAC issue would be easily handled. 

Outsourced HVAC Services

On the other hand, when business owners outsource their commercial HVAC needs, they bring in additional resources to maintain their HVAC systems. An outsourced contractor has the skills and expertise that may not be available to in-house employees. Since they are experienced and qualified to provide HVAC repair or replacement services, outsourced contractors would be able to maintain your units more efficiently. 

An outsourced contractor also has access to equipment and tools to maintain your HVAC system. They don’t need the company to provide training to the in-house staff. Building owners also don’t have to deal with buying new materials. Instead, the contractor would be required to supply the tools themselves. 

There are many benefits to each maintenance plan. It’s up to the property managers to decide which is best for their business.
