Minimising commercial electrical faults should be a priority for any business. Why? Because they can put your employees and equipment at risk and cause unplanned, costly downtime. What’s more, failure to comply with legal regulations can result in fines and reputational damage.
Troubleshooting commercial electrical faults not only reduces disruptions but also lowers energy costs. Even better, you can expect excellent ROI compared to the cost of inaction, potentially saving your business thousands of pounds in just 1-2 years.
Here’s how regular troubleshooting, planned electrical maintenance and scheduled EICR inspections can keep your business up and running.
Hidden electrical problems are dangerous and often go unnoticed until they cause serious damage. Electrical fault finding can identify these issues before they escalate and is essential in commercial environments.
Unlike routine testing, our EICR Fixed Wire Inspections identify hidden faults and investigate their root causes for peace of mind. Whether you have a faulty component or a damaged cable, electrical fault finding investigates and remedies the problem to reduce risk and ensure the safety and operational efficiency of your business.
You may need an urgent commercial electrical repair if your electricity supply trips repeatedly, or you notice warning signs like flickering lights and power surges. Our Electrical Maintenance Services can locate the key causes of electrical faults that compromise safety and efficiency over time, such as:
Overloaded circuits are a common issue, particularly in older buildings with poor electrical infrastructure. Multiple devices drawing power from the same outlet are a fire risk and can cause repeated and costly power outages.
Damaged wiring can be impossible to locate without the right tools and expertise. Left unremedied, there’s a risk of overheating, fires, and electrical shocks.
Any switches that make a popping sound or produce a burning smell could be faulty. In turn, this creates a higher risk of shocks, electrocution, electrical fires, and appliance damage.
When excess current lacks a safe path, it may cause overheating, increasing fire and electrocution risks.
Breaker switches that trip unexpectedly cause unnecessary downtime and can indicate overloads or ground faults elsewhere in your installation.
Most common electrical faults result from older electrical installations failing to keep pace with your increased power demands. Investing in upgrades and routine maintenance can help to improve business efficiency and safety, while delivering excellent ROI.
Troubleshooting electrical faults in commercial installations is key if your business wants to remain compliant with current legislation, including the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.
Electrical fault finding starts with a site visit and requires expertise and specialist equipment. Every commercial business is different and presents a range of challenges, so we may use thermal imaging cameras, circuit tracers, or insulation resistance testers to get to the root of the problem. These tools help identify hidden faults that could be missed during a visual inspection. We’ll analyse the results to find a rapid solution with minimal disruption.
Depending on the commercial electrical faults identified, we’ll suggest a repair or an upgrade. Older installations may struggle to meet the demands of modern equipment, and we’ll recommend a cost-efficient upgrade path such as rewiring or panel upgrades. For instance, our LED lighting installations can improve safety and efficiency in your building while ensuring your business complies with emergency lighting regulations.
Scheduling Reactive Maintenance could help your business prevent electrical faults long before they pose a significant risk. Our comprehensive EICR testing service forms the foundation for a maintenance plan tailored to your business needs. By spotting minor faults early, we can prevent them from developing into issues requiring costly repairs or unplanned downtime.
A professional electrician should always undertake commercial electrical repair. DIY repairs can invalidate your insurance and leave you open to liability risks. Our Electrical Remedial Services will keep your business compliant with ever-evolving legislation and provide the certification you need, including a comprehensive EICR report.
By choosing a qualified commercial electrician, you can have peace of mind knowing your installation and any repair work conform to commercial safety standards, regardless of how simple the task is. Our accredited professionals are well experienced with managing three-phase installations and higher electrical loads.
Additionally, we can upgrade your electrical infrastructure with emergency LED lighting installations, alarms and access controls, or undertake EICR inspections and maintenance.
No two businesses are alike, which is why our specialists at phs Compliance offer bespoke light testing and maintenance services for your commercial building.
Our focus is on testing, inspection, and reactive maintenance to keep your business safe and compliant, whether you have five employees or five hundred.
