Taking the lights, outlets and other electrical fixtures in your building for granted is easy when they work normally. However, their normal function depends on how well you take care of them. Let’s examine the top reasons why you should professionally maintain the electrical system in your commercial building.
Safety
An electrical system in need of maintenance or repairs has a higher risk of catching on fire. Wires can come loose and touch flammable materials, outlets can emit sparks and circuits can overheat. Regular inspections and maintenance lower the risk of these issues and help protect your structure from a devastating electrical fire.
Code Compliance
As the owner of a commercial building, you must ensure it complies with applicable codes. Regular maintenance improves the chances of the electrical system meeting NEC, OSHA and local code requirements. Our professional electricians will know what these codes are and ensure the wires, outlets, lights and other fixtures align with them.
Reliability
Keeping your electrical system in good condition also lowers the risk of it not working reliably. You help mitigate the risk of turning on a light switch or plugging in an electrical device, only to find the light switch or outlet doesn’t work. You also improve the chances of electrical appliances like your air conditioner and furnace working reliably.
Improved Efficiency
An electrical system in need of professional attention could use more energy than normal. Excess energy use translates into higher monthly electricity bills. Lower those bills and make your building more carbon neutral by hiring one of our electricians to maintain the electrical system at least once a year.
Longer Use
The cost of a brand-new electrical system can range in the thousands of dollars. That kind of money stretches your budget and also risks depleting your cash flow. Regular maintenance is key to helping fixtures like lights, outlets and wires last longer.
Fewer Repairs
Professional repairs, likewise, might cost more than you can afford. By keeping the electrical fixtures in your building maintained, you lower the risk of them breaking and needing repairs.
Warranty Compliance
When you have warranties on fixtures like lights, outlets and electrical panels, you need to hire professional electricians to maintain them. Failure to ensure they undergo regular maintenance could void the warranties on them. Doing the work yourself can also void the warranties, leaving you liable for the costs of repairs and replacements.
Appearance
Routine maintenance ensures the electrical fixtures in your building look their best. You avoid scorch marks on the outlet covers and dimmed or burned-out chandelier lights. Their normal appearance makes your building more welcoming and safer.
