What a proper report shows, system by system. The fix is usually simpler than the stress of living with the problem. Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Every visit should produce a written report. - Results, not just 'serviced OK'. - Open issues listed with priority. Quick answer A maintenance report is the proof the work was done and the record of your system's health. It should list every system checked, the tests performed and results, faults found and fixed, anything that still needs attention with a priority, and recommendations, in language a manager or committee can understand.

Yes. It's the record of what was checked and what needs attention. What does 'serviced OK' mean? Very little on its own. Ask for test results per system. Can reports help with insurance? Maintenance records can support insurance and audit requirements. Check with your insurer. ## Why customers choose Qyvea **Genuine brands**: Manufacturer warranty on what we sell, so you are not gambling on the box. **One team, start to finish**: The people who advise you also install and support it. **Fast answers**: WhatsApp replies usually within 30 minutes, and delivery within 24 hours in Nairobi. **Easy to buy**: Pay by M-Pesa, bank transfer or card.
