In hotels that run on-premise laundry facilities, upgrading on-premise laundry equipment is a big decision. Since older equipment breaks down more often over time, it can be costly to repair and operate. This can necessitate costly phone calls and service delays, leaving a negative impression and a bad experience for consumers and employees.
Newer machines can aid operations managers in cost management, reducing the need for service calls and lowering utility usage. On-premise laundry equipment upgrades can also help streamline operations, resulting in better performance, increased laundry capacity, and a better laundry experience.
Are you wondering if your hotel laundry operations will benefit from an upgrade? When it comes to modern on-premise appliances, there are a few things to keep an eye out for.
- Utility prices are high – and continuing to rise.
One of the most compelling reasons to upgrade to new on-premise laundry equipment is the potential for cost savings. True commercial laundry equipment from Henson Laundry is designed from the ground up with the highest quality parts available to provide superior efficiency for commercial laundry applications.
Henson Laundry’s latest washing machines will save up to 30% on water consumption by detecting the weight of your load. Furthermore, modern devices remove moisture more effectively in the washer, requiring less time in the dryer and lowering gas consumption.
2. Frequent Service Interruptions
Broken or malfunctioning equipment is costly, both in terms of service fees and lost sales when computers are out of commission. If your hotel laundry equipment is constantly breaking down and your service costs are will, it might be time to invest in new equipment.
3. You are considering outsourcing laundry services
If you’re irritated with your outdated hotel laundry machines, you’ve already considered outsourcing laundry services. While this may seem like a good short-term option, there are many reasons to keep your laundry services in-house, including long-term cost savings, quality control, turnaround time, vendor efficiency, and so on. Instead of outsourcing, find out how to update commercial laundry equipment on a budget.
4. You Equipment is old
Even if your laundry machines are still functional, they will detract from the customer experience. Old and battered equipment can degrade the customer experience in businesses with customer-facing machines, such as a hotel guest laundry room. Provide clean, well-maintained equipment to better serve the customers.
5. You laundry needs are growing
If your hotel clientele is expanding, it may be time to update your equipment. Newer machines are faster and more effective, delivering better results in less time and extending the life of your linens. Furthermore, upgraded laundry systems can be stackable or smaller in size, allowing for the installation of additional machines in the available space.
Upgrading your hotel laundry equipment can benefit a company in a number of ways, including improved performance, increased productivity, lower utility costs, and fewer service interruptions. Consider a laundry equipment rental program if you’re thinking about upgrading your on-premise laundry equipment but are hesitant because of the cost.
