Planning Your 2024 HVAC Maintenance Budget

Due to the scale of facilities and complexities of HVAC equipment, planning a maintenance budget ahead of time can be challenging. However, failing to create a proper budget can cause you to drastically overspend on maintenance. Planning your 2024 maintenance budget early gives you enough time to fully assess your expenses and estimate costs accurately to keep your facility running smoothly.

What to Consider When Planning an HVAC Maintenance Budget

There are several factors to consider for an HVAC maintenance budget that, by taking the time to assess and incorporate into the planning process, can give you an accurate cost estimate. Here are some variables you should take into account.

The Prior Year’s Budget

The previous year’s budget is one of the best tools at your disposal. Referencing last year’s expenses can help you determine how much you spent on certain maintenance costs, whether you spent too much, the reason for overspending, which areas cost the most, what time of year expenses were the highest, and more. It can also highlight areas of the maintenance budget you may have previously overlooked.

While you should be cautious when referencing previous budgets, as the information may not be completely accurate and maintenance needs change each year, it’s still a valuable asset when planning for a budget that’s months away.

Equipment Condition

The state of your equipment plays a significant role in budget planning. During an inspection, it’s crucial to note whether your HVAC equipment requires any obvious repairs that would need more of the budget. Be sure to also record whether your air conditioners, commercial chillers, and boilers are in working order or if purchasing a replacement is likely. Other factors include:

  • Where is your system located? 
  • What size is it? 
  • What type of unit do you have? 
  • How old is it? 
  • How frequently is it used?

Seasonal Costs

It’s important to remember that maintenance costs can vary throughout the year. For example, heating and cooling systems are used during opposite seasons and should be budgeted as such. Allocating your funding during peak seasons, such as winter and summer, can prevent you from exceeding your budget.

Emergency Funds

Even with an accurate budget and routine maintenance inspections, things happen. Old equipment needs to be replaced or repaired. Supply chain shortages stall progress. There are communication gaps between departments. The previous year’s budget data was incorrect. Unexpected issues can occur anytime, but being prepared with an emergency fund can keep you from exceeding budgets and failing to maintain your HVAC equipment. Plan on allocating a certain amount of your budget towards an emergency fund.

The Benefits of Early HVAC Maintenance Budgeting

While you may face several challenges when planning your HVAC budget, doing so allows many advantages. Here are some of the benefits of creating a maintenance budget for your commercial HVAC systems:

Cost Control

Planning your facility’s HVAC maintenance budget allows you to better identify areas of your equipment that are wasting energy, helps you make better purchasing decisions, and highlights the performance of machinery that could be cutting into your profits. The sooner you’re aware of these cost issues, the better you can work to improve them for your next budget.

Another way early budgeting can improve expected costs is by locking down pricing before prices increase. With costs continuing to rise, planning a maintenance budget sooner rather than later can prevent you from paying more in the future.

Better Planning

The earlier you begin planning a maintenance budget, the more ahead you’re likely to be. Early budgeting gives you a better scope of the cash restrictions you’re dealing with and how best to allocate your funding. If there’s an issue, early planning gives you plenty of time to devise a solution, such as getting ahead of any supply chain problems that could leave you scrambling for a quick fix.

Supply chain shortages have impacted the HVAC industry for a while, and while there has been improvement, you may still experience issues. Learn more about supply chain issues and how to deal with them.

Navigating Supply Chain Issues

Equipment Reliability

Early budgeting gives you plenty of time to assess the condition of your HVAC equipment. Checking your equipment during the budgeting phase lets you know if there are any performance issues, obvious repair costs, and energy expenditures. Catching these problems early prevents extensive repairs and poor operating systems that consume additional energy, which leads to higher prices and causes you to exceed your budget.

Guaranteed Coverage

Budgeting your maintenance plans ensures that nothing is overlooked during the inspection process. When equipment receives properly scheduled maintenance, units require less energy, improve indoor air quality, reduce downtime, and last longer.

While the benefits of planning your 2024 maintenance budget are undeniable, they’re only helpful if the HVAC contractor you’re working with can be trusted to do the job—and who’s more trustworthy than A&G Services?
