Electrical System Maintenance
The use of electricity has become an integral part of our daily lives, and it is difficult for us to imagine how people managed without it in the past.
We rely on many devices that operate on electricity: computers, refrigerators, lighting, coffee machines, and more. Therefore, any disruption in the electricity supply makes it very difficult for us to function.
To avoid disruptions in the electricity supply, it is important to maintain and preserve the electrical system in the building. What does maintenance of the building’s electrical system include?
1. Checking the main electrical panels, including a thermographic scan.
2. Performing repairs and replacing faulty parts in the electrical system.
3. Conducting periodic checks to prevent future failures. If there is any suspicion that a certain part is not fit for use, it should be replaced without delay.
4. Conducting a comprehensive check before each winter to prevent water from penetrating areas with electrical voltage, which can cause damage and even electrocution.
5. Submitting a detailed report to the property owner at the end of the periodic check regarding the safety level of the electrical system, its compliance with standards, and recommendations for its improvement and preservation.
Here are some tips to follow:
- Check the electrical rooms, voltage panels, and exposed electrical conduits at least once a week to identify problems and failures.
- Follow the recommendations of the electric company’s standard.
- Ensure that only a certified electrician performs repairs and checks in the building.
- Ensure that all electrical panels and conduits are protected from water penetration.
Investing in the proper maintenance of the building’s electrical system is a long-term investment that will help you avoid future expenses due to system wear and tear, and preventible failures and damages.
Additionally – and just as importantly – you can be reassured and confident that your building complies with standards and is safe for its users.
