Preventative maintenance while sometimes an afterthought, can pay huge dividends — an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure — is an expression which definitely resonates when talking preventative maintenance. When regularly scheduled, what you pay is very small in comparison to the fall out of money and time in the event of electrical emergency.

5 “Positive Points” of Preventative Maintenance:

  • Protection
    Responsibility for your facility and tenants falls on maintenance managers to ensure all equipment is functioning appropriately—and many times it is not evident to the naked eye. Our electricians can perform testing to minimize risk of unwanted events.
  • Productivity
    Electrical outages can paralyze your facility. When you are without power it becomes harder to diagnose where your equipment failed, and many times an emergency repair takes longer and is more costly than the preventative maintenance.
  • Parts Management
    Planned maintenance puts much less stress on complex parts or system than reactive maintenance. Because many of our parts are working together, when one fails, it can cause more to fail and/or break due to stress. Purchasing spare parts can get costly fast.
  • Planning
    When we perform planned maintenance to your equipment we can plan the potential electrical downtime. This downtime is very small in comparison to any down time as the result of an electrical emergency. It is also more convenient to tenants and employees to notify them prior to any time of electrical downtime.
  • Performance
    Regularly maintained equipment performs better and is more energy efficient than those exposed to wear and tear over a long period of time.
