The Benefits of Commercial Maintenance for Electrics


Less Downtime Overall

By preventing common system failures and faults, you can reduce extended downtime. Simple and regular maintenance hardly affects business operations, whereas serious problems with electrical systems can cause days or weeks of closure.

Early Fault Detection

As mentioned above, regular maintenance can help detect faults early on, saving downtime, damage to your expensive equipment, and avoiding health and safety concerns.

Legal Requirements

UK commercial properties must meet BS 7671 and Electricity at Work compliance all-year-round. To comply with the law and insurance terms, it's best to have a scheduled maintenance plan.

Protecting Equipment

With a properly maintained electrical set up, equipment will always last longer and perform better, helping you to reduce major costs relating to machinery/ equipment.

Safer Workspace

Keep your staff and customers safe by addressing issues early - old wiring, overloaded circuits, and deteriorating elements are all risky to use if not maintained adequately.

Bespoke Maintenance Plans

The service provided is always adapted depending on the type of business, building, working hours, equipment in use, and compliance needs. When we do the initial electrical installation, we can give you a perfect understanding of the best maintenance plan for you.
