Preventative Maintenance
Programs PerthPlanned Servicing for Commercial Refrigeration & Air Conditioning
Scheduled maintenance programs that reduce breakdowns, protect your stock and extend the life of your equipment. Tailored to hospitality, retail and industrial sites across Perth Metro — with priority response for contracted clients.
Why Preventative Maintenance Matters
In Perth's climate, commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems work harder than almost anywhere else in Australia. Equipment that runs without scheduled servicing fails faster, costs more in energy, and almost always breaks down at the worst possible time — peak service, a busy weekend, or the middle of summer.
A preventative maintenance program from Tempo replaces reactive emergency callouts with predictable scheduled servicing. Our technicians inspect, clean and tune your equipment on a fixed schedule, catching small faults before they become expensive failures. For commercial venues running coolrooms, freezers, fridges and air conditioning, it's the single most cost-effective decision you can make.
Fewer Breakdowns
Routine servicing catches faults early — before they cause stock loss, downtime or emergency callouts.
Lower Running Costs
Clean, well-tuned equipment uses less energy. Maintenance pays for itself on power bills alone.
Longer Equipment Life
Compressors, fans and condensers last significantly longer when maintained on schedule.
Priority Response
Contracted clients are prioritised for emergency callouts and receive faster response times.
The Real Cost of No Maintenance
Stock Loss
A single coolroom failure can write off thousands of dollars in produce, meat or stock — often with no insurance recovery.
Emergency Callout Fees
After-hours and weekend callouts cost significantly more than scheduled visits, and parts may not be available immediately.
Compressor Replacement
A failed compressor from a preventable fault can cost more to replace than years of preventative servicing.
Lost Trading Hours
A coolroom or AC failure during peak service forces venues to close, refund customers or operate at reduced capacity.
Higher Energy Bills
Dirty condensers and worn components force equipment to work harder, quietly increasing power consumption month after month.
Compliance & Food Safety
Temperature excursions in food storage can trigger compliance issues, failed audits and reputational damage.
Maintenance Program FAQs
What does a maintenance program actually cover?
Each visit includes a full inspection and clean of your refrigeration and air conditioning equipment — condensers, coils, compressors, door seals, defrost cycles, controllers, electrical connections and filters. You receive a written report after every visit.
How often should my equipment be serviced?
It depends on the equipment, the environment and how hard it works. A small café might need biannual servicing, while a busy commercial kitchen or cold storage facility usually benefits from quarterly or monthly visits. We assess your site and recommend the right frequency.
Will a maintenance program save me money?
Yes — in three ways. Lower energy bills from clean, efficient equipment. Fewer emergency callouts and stock losses. And longer equipment life, which delays expensive replacements. For most venues, the program pays for itself.
Do contracted clients get priority during breakdowns?
Yes. Maintenance clients are prioritised over standard callouts during emergencies and receive faster response times across Perth Metro.
What equipment do you maintain?
We maintain coolrooms, walk-in freezers, commercial fridges, display cabinets, ice machines, glycol systems, beer chillers, ducted air conditioning, VRF systems and split systems. We work with all major brands.
I need a one-off repair, not a program — can you help?
Yes. We also handle once-off coolroom repairs, commercial refrigeration and air conditioning servicing. Maintenance programs are best for ongoing reliability, but we're happy to attend a one-off job too.
Are your technicians ARCtick licensed?
Yes. All refrigerant work is performed by ARCtick licensed technicians. Our licence number is AU068550.
Do I have to sign a long contract?
No. Our programs are flexible — we discuss your needs and structure an agreement that works for your business. There are no lock-in penalties.
Can you maintain equipment you didn't install?
Yes. We service equipment regardless of who installed it, including older systems and equipment from other refrigeration suppliers.
