⏰ Don’t Forget Your Mechanical Plant When the Clocks Change⏰
On Sunday 29th March, the clocks go forward by one hour as we move into British Summer Time.
Most people remember to adjust their wall clocks and car dashboards, but it’s easy to forget that many building systems still rely on manual time settings.
This can affect the operation of:
❄️ Air conditioning systems
🔥 Heating controls
🌬️ Ventilation systems
⚙️ Building management timers
💧 Hot water circulation systems
If these systems aren’t adjusted, they may start or stop at the wrong times, leading to energy waste, uncomfortable buildings & unnecessary wear on equipment.
At AFM Building Services, we often include timer and control checks as part of routine maintenance visits to ensure systems run efficiently and at the correct times.
✔ Reduced energy waste
✔ Improved comfort for occupants
✔ Correct system operation
If you'd like a seasonal plant check or air conditioning service ahead of summer, our engineers are happy to help.
