In the commercial infrastructure world, we know exactly when a bridge needs painting. We don’t wait for it to rust; we schedule it 15 years in advance.
In residential property, landlords treat a hot water cylinder failure like a natural disaster. “Oh no! A $2,000 bill I didn’t expect!”
It shouldn’t be unexpected.
A hot water cylinder lasts 12-15 years. A colorsteel roof lasts 25-30 years. Paint lasts 10 years. These are not variables; they are constants.
The Cost of Chaos
When you fix things after they break (Reactive Maintenance), you pay a premium. You pay for the emergency call-out fee. You pay for the “urgent” parts shipping. You pay for the tenant’s compensation while they have no hot water.
