HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) Maintenance Management
The single biggest consumer of energy in a typical commercial building is often the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system. It is therefore critical that these systems are kept, not only safe and legal, but also well maintained to minimise energy consumption.
SFG20 is the standard maintenance specification for building engineering and maintenance services. Our state-of-the-art facilities management software allows users to select relevant schedules and seamlessly create maintenance regimes for one or more facilities. We offer a range of maintenance schedules tailor-made for HVAC maintenance managers which covers every aspect of these complex and vital systems.
With our software solution, you can focus maintenance, ensuring safety and comfort for staff, visitors, and tenants. Beyond safety, stay confidently compliant with all legislative requirements. Experience a seamless, user-friendly interface that simplifies HVAC system management.
Our Facilities-iQ software uses color-coding to distinguish between legally required tasks and those that are optimal and discretionary.

Ensuring Safety and Compliance
- Streamlined Operations and Safety
- Centralise all HVAC maintenance tasks, from air filter replacements to refrigerant checks, ensuring a safer environment for all. By having everything in one software solution, users can easily determine what tasks need to be carried out and how often.
- Cost Efficiency
- Work within the SFG20 system to blend maintenance approaches for optimal efficiency. Once all tasks are completed to ensure safety and compliance, optimal and discretionary tasks can be included or removed from your regime, according to your unique insight about your facility e.g. asset condition, usage etc.
- Comprehensive Compliance and Record-Keeping
- Stay updated with HVAC-specific industry standards, such as ventilation guidelines or refrigerant use. Simplify audits with organised logs of duct cleanings, system inspections, and other maintenance tasks, reducing the risk of legal complications.
- Enhanced System Efficiency and Sustainability
- Ensure that cooling coils, thermostats, and airflow systems work at peak efficiency. By correctly maintaining your assets they are more likely to run efficiently and last their full intended design life, meaning that operational and embodied carbon is reduced.

Frequently Asked Questions
About HVAC Maintenance
This is the oversight of Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems within facilities. It encompasses regular maintenance and repair of system components, operational monitoring for optimal performance, ensuring adherence to relevant standards and regulations, strategising for energy efficiency, managing budgets, coordinating with technical staff, and preparing for potential emergencies. The primary objective is to guarantee comfortable, safe, and efficient indoor environments through a systematic and coordinated approach.
This typically falls to Facilities Managers or HVAC Managers within an organisation or facility. They oversee the regular inspection, repair, and upkeep of HVAC systems, ensuring optimal performance and compliance with standards. In larger setups, a dedicated HVAC maintenance team supports these managers, handling specific tasks and repairs. In smaller establishments, the building owner or administrative staff might directly oversee HVAC maintenance. External contractors can also be engaged for specialised tasks or routine service checks. Regardless of the structure, the primary goal is to ensure a consistent, safe, and efficient climate-controlled environment.
