Operations and Maintenance - what to do, when

Timely adjustments save energy dollars
Even if you implement energy-saving features, it's still important to do the proper maintenance in a timely fashion.

Much of this maintenance should be done off-season. For example, adjust your oil burner before the heating season, not during.

This section will help you remember to do those important energy-saving adjustments at the right time - seasonally, weekly, or daily - to save you the most dollars and energy.

Preventative maintenance extends equipment life
Equipment operates more efficiently, uses less energy, and lasts longer when properly maintained.

The schedules will help you establish sound preventative maintenance programs. Also be sure to follow manufacturers' maintenance suggestions. If your owner's guide is missing, contact the manufacturer or a local repair service for assistance.
