Regular electrical maintenance for your workplace can benefit your business in both energy efficiency and ensure the safety of your staff.
If you don’t have regular electrical maintenance, here are a few common electrical issues that indicate you should contact us for maintenance work.
Circuit Trips or Dips
If the circuit in your workplace trips frequently, it might be due to a circuit shorted to ground or from circuit overload.
As your office will be experiencing interruptions, it is time to call a professional electrician from NB Trades & Services to identify the issue and repair.
Flickering Lighting
If your lighting keeps flickering when switched on or throughout the day, they could cause distraction, headaches, vision issues and overall a nuisance for your staff. A professional electrician can isolate this issue and save you money in the long run.
Warm Outlets
Outlets should always be room temperature to touch. If they are warm or hot there is an issue. They can warm as they convert the voltage input to the usable storable output so avoid having too many devices in the same circuit.
This can be hard to tell especially if you’re in an older property so best to contact an electrician to check. The team at NB Trades & Services can also check if there are any other causes (such as wiring) and can rectify for you.
If you see sparks when unplugging or plugging in appliances, it is best to call an experienced electrician.
Sparks
These can occur simply from a rapid draw on available power or could be from excessive heat build up in your outlets (which is a fire hazard).
They can also occur due to water exposure or the age of the outlet, so it is best to have the team at NB Trades and Services come and check it out!
Aged Buildings
Electrical wiring in aged buildings can be at risk of being worn out. It is important that the wiring is examined and replaced as needed, that safety switches are installed appropriately and that the wiring can support the load needed for your workplace.
It would be best to have a regular electrical schedule in place if you do have your workplace in an aged building as you may be at higher risk of worker injury. Call NB Trades and Services to come and check it out.
