The technician records readings on a clipboard as part of the inspection.

Maintenance that protects residents

Common questions
Why is air conditioning important in seniors' communities?
Older adults are more vulnerable to heat-related illness, and summer heat waves on Vancouver Island have become more common. Reliable cooling, maintained before summer, is an important safety measure in seniors' housing and care facilities.
What does a heat pump or AC inspection include?
An inspection checks the outdoor coil, fans, refrigerant operation, electrical components and condensate drainage, confirms the system heats and cools properly, and records any issues for follow-up.
Can Waywest maintain equipment across a seniors community?
Yes. WayWest PropertyCare schedules inspections and maintenance across a community's buildings, with technician service reports and maintenance records.
