Winter is on the way across Australia, with the air conditioner switching for the heater seemingly overnight in buses across the country.
As an operator, the reliability of your fleet’s HVAC systems is a critical factor in maintaining operations throughout the year, avoiding costly breakdowns and disruptive downtime.
Coachair’s business is built around supporting the pivotal role a working HVAC system plays in ensuring passenger and driver comfort and keeping vehicles on the road.
Take proactive steps to get ready for winter
It’s time to start preparing for the colder weather – schedule your winter HVAC service now and rest easy knowing your fleet is fully prepared for the extremes on the way.
Even in milder climates, the contrast of winter’s harsh conditions after a long, hot summer places a strain on heating systems and can exacerbate existing vulnerabilities. This can lead to unexpected failures, significant repair costs, and the associated costs of having buses and coaches out of action for repairs to be undertaken.
By opting for regular maintenance and services with Coachair, you’re making the best choice to mitigate these risks. Our team of experts is equipped to inspect, service, and repair your heating systems, ensuring your fleet remains operational and comfortable throughout the challenging winter months.
Why should I get my bus HVAC serviced for winter?
