Close-up view on conceptual keyboard - Optimization (green key)There are two ways to handle problems at your facility. You can hire a traditional contractor to discover a project they can cash in on, or you can hire Performance Solutions to uncover a maintenance plan that keeps money in your pocket.

Does Cost Matter?

Yes Our Program Approach

A Performance Solutions tech inspects your A/C unit and the rest of your facility with a focus on Asset & Facilities Optimization. They discover that you’re A/C is failing because it’s being overworked. Instead of replacing the unit, the tech develops a maintenance program providing you with budget predictability.

No Project Approach

A traditional contractor is looking to replace an entire A/C unit. This big-ticket item eats up your entire budget so you cross your fingers that the rest of the quarter comes no surprises.

Do You Need a Quick Fix or a Solution?

Solution Our Program Approach

Performance Solutions looks at the item that’s broken and discovers the root cause and finds a permanent solution rather than a temporary fix.

Quick Fix  Project Approach

A traditional contractor looks at the item that is broken, determines cost and replaces it. Five months later, it breaks again and they are happy to come back out.

Does the Solution Need to Last?

Yes Our Program Approach

Performance Solutions develops a maintenance plan that keeps your equipment at design intent so it not only performs better but it lasts longer.

No Project Approach

A traditional contractor fixes a big-ticket item and marks on their calendar when they expect it to break so they can return for the same project next year.

Do You Really Need an Upgrade?

Let’s Upgrade Project Approach

A traditional contractor’s record shows that your unit is 4 years old. Due to age, they suggest that you replace it with the newest model.

Let’s Check Our Needs Our Program Approach

Performance Solutions does a complete inventory and discovers that some of your equipment is reaching its last leg. We develop a prioritized plan to replace your equipment based on what fits your facilities needs.

The Conclusion

The Wrong Way Project Approach

Traditional contractors want to replace the most expensive piece of equipment and hope that they are able to service it a few times before your next suggested upgrade.

The Right Way  Asset & Facilities Optimization Program Approach by Performance Solutions

Performance Solutions wants to help your facility run efficiently. We uncover the root cause of your problems and develop a complete maintenance plan that meets your needs and your budget. In addition to our best practices maintenance program we also offer ongoing training and education for your facilities staff so things continue to run smoothly.

“Work hard…. Work smart”!  How many times have you heard that advice?  There are many among us that work awfully hard, but unfortunately have little to show for it.  Likewise, there are some pretty sharp individuals that accomplish amazing things, once they get off the couch.

Here’s #6:

Hard Work vs. Intelligence

This is another area where people tend to fall in one category or another.  They’re either “hard workers” or “intelligent”.  Blending the two assures your best chance for success.  If I had to pick one over the other, I’d pick “hard work” every day of the week.  The world is full of unrewarded geniuses.  There’s one in every corner bar, and usually one, or two, somewhere in our social circles.  They are usually quite vocal, stating that they “could’ve had it all”, except for some ridiculous circumstance that held them back.  If you’re going to leave your career legacy with one trait that people remember, be known as a “hard worker”.
