Fix it when it breaks.

“Repairing things as soon as possible just makes more sense. Get it done!” Allowing the repair and maintenance projects at your business to build up and progressively become worse will only create larger problems. Repairing or replacing things when they first break can reduce downtime, and that reduction in downtime could potentially increase revenue and result in greater profits. Waiting until you are forced to repair and replace things sometimes actually costs more. A great example would be waiting to replace your HVAC in a cooler month instead of a warmer month. HVAC vendors will understand you are hot and really need that A/C system to work. If I were betting, I would put my money on the vendor charging a little bit more because the weather is nice and toasty outside. Repairing things as soon as possible just makes more sense.

Warranty

“Never leave warranty money on the table.” Do you remember that thing you bought has a warranty? Did you bother trying to utilize it the last time it failed? If you answered “yes” to the first question and “no” to the second question, then here is another question: Do you like wasting your money? I bet you answered “no” that question. Here is a simple thing to remember: Everything breaks eventually. In fact, some things break well before the manufacturer planned for it to break. If your item broke and it just happened to be within the warranty period, it would make sense to let the manufacturer fix it. Never leave warranty money on the table. Always verify if the broken item still has a warranty. "Warranty Void if Seal Broken" by eirikso is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0
