You may be shocked to learn that electrical system malfunctions account for more than 8% of commercial fires. Many of these fires come from a lack of routine maintenance checks on a business' electrical systems.
If your property is experiencing flickering lights, hot spots, dysfunctional outlets, blown fuses, or burning smells, your business could be headed toward disaster. Fortunately, there's a way to stop these electrical catastrophes before they ignite. It's called conducting preventive maintenance. Here's how it can safeguard your employees and your business.
How Preventive Maintenance Helps Your Business' Electrical System
First, what is preventive maintenance? Preventive maintenance is the process of performing regularly scheduled maintenance actions to prevent unexpected electrical failures. By conducting preventive maintenance, a company can operate much more stably, ensure it complies with electrical and commercial laws, increase productivity, and keep workers protected.
We explain these preventative maintenance benefits and more below.
Reduces Business Interruptions
Imagine trying to get work done during power failures, glitches, and malfunctions. It's nearly impossible and quite frustrating! Fortunately, one can catch electrical failures before they fully reveal themselves through frequent examinations of the system. With frequent upkeep during your system's lifecycle, your employees will be able to carry out their duties with little to no disruptions.
Protects Your Staff and Equipment
A responsible business owner never puts their employees in danger. Lack of maintenance to your electrical system can expose your staff to unnecessary risks—or even cause a deadly accident. Give your staff peace of mind and maintain a safe work environment by carefully checking your electrical units to ensure none are malfunctioning and could harm someone.
Lowers Your Bills
As the temperature starts to drop, we know that winter is on its way. You may be crossing your fingers and hoping your electrical system will plow through one more season, but that could be costing you more than you think! Regular tune-ups of your electrical system can save you significantly more on your utility bills and other business finances. This means more money in your pocket and more spending on your business needs instead of throwing it all at a failing electrical system that you could have fixed months ago.
Extends Asset Life
Did you know conducting frequent and accurate electrical maintenance can help extend the lifecycle of your electrical systems? Checking to see if your devices are in working order can make sure your system operates as long as the warranty says it does and can help avoid sudden and unexpected equipment failure, resulting in unexpected downtime.
