How to Reduce Downtime in Your Laundry Operation

In commercial laundry, downtime isn’t just an inconvenience. It can directly impact your productivity, customer service, and bottom line. At Coronet Equipment, we’ve supported Alberta’s laundry industry for over 25 years, helping vended, on-premise, and industrial operators keep their systems running at peak efficiency. We know that avoiding downtime is vital in maintaining any business. We believe that there are three great things that you can do to avoid downtime: quick repair response, good access to spare parts, and proactive maintenance planning.

The Cost of Downtime

Every peak hour that your washers or dryers sit idle and inactive can add up to a decently sized chunk of lost revenue, delayed service, or bottlenecks in your workflow. A hotel without fresh linens, a care facility with critical delays, or a vendor with broken machines all face the same challenge: unplanned downtime disrupts operations. The risk of the unexpected is why having a clear strategy in place for equipment performance is essential for running a good business.

Fast Repair Response

Breakdowns can happen at any time, and waiting days for service simply isn’t an option when you have a business to run. That’s why we provide 24/7 emergency service across Edmonton and surrounding areas, with certified technicians who arrive ready to diagnose and repair on-site.

Our professional technicians are factory-trained, which means they understand the unique requirements of modern washer-extractors, dryers, and other laundry systems. Because we’re local, we can most often times respond much faster than out-of-province service providers, which is perfect for reducing downtime and keeping your business moving along at peak efficiency.

Spare Parts When You Need Them

Nothing stalls a repair like having to wait for replacement parts to arrive. At Coronet, we maintain a robust in-house parts inventory for most major commercial laundry brands and machines. This ensures that when something breaks, we’re ready to replace belts, pumps, valves, or controls without long shipping delays. Pair this with our snap service, and we will have your back up machines running again in no time.

We also stock common consumables like filters, gaskets, and hoses. These are items that wear down naturally with heavy use. Having access to these parts in real time is one of the fastest ways to reduce repair timelines and keep equipment back in service.

 

Preventive Maintenance Planning

Even with fast repair and strong parts support, the best way to reduce downtime is to prevent breakdowns in the first place. That’s where preventive maintenance services come in. Our technicians perform scheduled inspections, identify wear before it causes failure, and replace parts proactively. Preventive maintenance could include things like inspecting belts, seals, and bearings for signs of wear, testing electrical components and controls for reliability, checking things like water inlets, drains, and pumps for flow issues, and verifying cycle calibration for consistent wash results.

We ensure a fast and efficient maintenance plan. A forward-thinking approach can help a lot to reduce surprise repairs and extend the lifespan of your machines.
