Why PM Matters
Run-to-failure is the most expensive maintenance strategy there is. The ratio of planned-service cost to emergency-repair cost is roughly 1:5 for most rotating equipment — and that's before you count the business impact of downtime, code violations, and insurance consequences. A disciplined preventive maintenance program is one of the cheapest reliability investments any operator can make.

NFPA 110 & NFPA 25 Compliance
For facilities subject to NFPA 110 (emergency power) or NFPA 25 (fire pump) requirements, a documented PM program isn't optional — it's required for insurance and AHJ compliance. Our PM contracts include all the testing and documentation the standards require.
