Scheduled Maintenance
Waiting around for your electrical equipment to become faulty, cease working or cause an accident is the method in which most people first get into contact with an electrician. However, waiting for something to go wrong is guaranteed to cost you more money in the long run, increase the risk of electrical accidents and shorten the lifespan of appliances and equipment.
The majority of faults and electrical issues can be avoided through the regular maintenance of your electrical equipment. In a business environment, scheduled maintenance is also closely linked to your profitability due to the avoidance of production downtime and extended life of equipment.
The three major benefits to your business include:
- Reducing the risk of unexpected and unnecessary breakdowns or faults
- Reducing the risk of unscheduled production downtime, which can be costly to your profit margins
- Protecting your businesses vital assets and equipment from ongoing damage, whilst also extending their life
While it can be difficult to fathom spending the money on a product that you don’t deem urgent, you only have to look at examples of other services where this is standard practice to realise its practicality. People get their cars serviced every six months, or after driving a certain number of kilometers and feel good afterwards knowing that they are taking the utmost care of their vehicle.
The same principle applies to scheduled electrical maintenance. If left unchecked, minor electrical faults can become a major safety risk as well as a costly endeavor.
If your business is currently without a scheduled electrical maintenance system, contact an electrician who would be happy to assist you in creating a plan and managing your businesses systems in line with your specific requirements.
Scheduled maintenance will allow you to have:
- All equipment frequently serviced, inspected, tested and maintained
- A comprehensive reporting procedure in place that allows you to better monitor your equipment and diagnose issues earlier, saving you time and money
- A discernable knowledge of the lifespan of your equipment and an open channel of communication with a professional surrounding efficiency of your operations
- A far more cost-effective solution to electrical issues which occur unexpectedly
- The ability to better organise and plan business activity and spending because you are able to schedule payments rather than fork out large amounts unexpectedly
