Electrical maintenance in your commercial building isn’t just a matter of energy efficiency—it’s also a matter of safety. Electrical problems can damage property and present a safety hazard to your employees, so we recommend prioritizing electrical system maintenance to make sure everything is working the way that it should. Here are a few of our top electrical maintenance tips to help you keep your commercial building safe and functioning properly:
- Don’t overload your system. Relying heavily on extension cords can overload circuits. If your building requires a heavier electrical output than what you currently have set up, you should contact an electrician about an electrical addition.
- Leave panels visible. Don’t stack boxes in front of electrical panels. Make sure your panels are easily visible and accessible so they can be reached when necessary. Covering up your panels or allowing them to get dirty is never a good idea, so keep the area around them clear.
- Hire an electrician periodically. It’s good practice to hire professional electrical maintenance services periodically to look at your system and make sure there are no hidden dangers or problems that you weren’t aware of. There’s only so much you can do on your own, but with our help here at Lake Electric Co. Inc., you can rest assured that your commercial building’s electrical system is in good hands.
