Maintenance Tips

Fall Facility Maintenance Checklist (MA & CT) — 2025

Before temperatures slide, a few targeted checks can prevent outages, slips and last-minute scrambles. Here’s a concise list we use with clients in MA & CT.

Quick checklist

  • HVAC: filters, belts, condensate lines; test heat before first cold snap.
  • Entrances: mats with edging; slip protection plan; door sweeps.
  • Life safety: exit lighting, emergency lights, fire extinguishers in place and dated.
  • Roof & gutters: clear debris; check roof penetrations and flashing.
  • Grounds: trim branches; mark plow stakes where needed.
  • Snow/ice: line up vendor; confirm triggers and routes (see our campus snow case study).

HVAC details

Swap filters (MERV as specified), check belts/tension, confirm condensate drains. Run heat for 15–20 minutes to confirm ignition and watch for lockouts.

Entrances & interior floors

Place adequate walk-off mats at every entrance with clean edges. For VCT/LVT, plan a scrub-and-recoat before heavy salt season.

Safety & compliance

Spot-check exit signs, e-lights, AED pads (if applicable). Verify monthly logs are current.
