GFI Contracting reminds you – Winter is coming. You’d better get ready.

---

How should your church or commerical building prepare its heating system for winter?

Begin with the service record, occupied-space schedule, and any rooms that were difficult to heat last winter. Arrange a qualified service review before demand increases.

1. Review the history

Locate the latest service report and record unresolved issues. Note recurring complaints, unusual noises, and rooms that struggle to maintain comfort.

2. Walk the occupied spaces

Record which rooms are used daily, weekly, or only for special events. Give that schedule to the person responsible for heating operation.

3. Prepare the service conversation

Ask the service provider to identify necessary maintenance, items needing repair, and decisions that require owner approval. Request a written scope.

4. Assign the next step

Give each open item an owner and a date. Confirm completion with a service record, rather than assuming a scheduled visit resolved every concern.

Bring this to your next facility meeting

Latest service date; rooms with comfort complaints; upcoming events; service contact; open repair decisions.

For each open item, record the person responsible, the next action, and the date for review. Click here for the GFI Facility Watch
