Rooftop HVAC units are among the most capital-intensive assets in any hotel — and the most neglected. A structured preventive maintenance program does not just prevent breakdowns; it can extend equipment lifespan by up to 40%, defer costly replacements, and cut energy spend without requiring a single new capital investment. OxMaint automates this entire program, from inspection scheduling to condition-based escalation, so your engineering team stays ahead of every failure curve.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does OxMaint extend HVAC lifespan specifically?
OxMaint enforces the PM tasks that directly prevent premature wear — coil cleaning, filter changes, refrigerant checks, and belt inspections — on a structured, automated schedule. By catching degradation early and maintaining optimal operating conditions, units reach and exceed their rated lifespan instead of failing mid-cycle.
Can OxMaint handle rooftop units across multiple hotel properties?
Yes. OxMaint is built for multi-property portfolios — with a single dashboard showing asset status, PM completion rates, open work orders, and compliance gaps across every site simultaneously. Each property's units are tracked individually with their own maintenance history.
How quickly can we deploy HVAC PM templates?
Most hotel teams are running their first scheduled work orders within a day. OxMaint's pre-built hospitality HVAC templates require no configuration from scratch — register your assets, activate the relevant templates, and the system handles scheduling, assignment, and documentation automatically.
Does OxMaint support refrigerant compliance documentation?
Yes. OxMaint logs refrigerant handling records, tracks certified technician assignments, and exports compliance packages aligned with EPA Section 608, UK F-Gas Regulation, and equivalent jurisdiction requirements — all from the same platform managing your wider PM program.
