- Circuit Breaker Inspection and Testing: Circuit breakers protect electrical circuits from overloads and malfunctions. Breakers can wear down with time, so regular inspections and testing ensure that they’re working properly. Maintenance includes visually inspecting for signs of wear, running operational tests, and resetting breakers as needed to ensure they trip under faulty situations.
- Lighting System Maintenance: Commercial properties frequently rely on a high number of light fixtures. Over time, lights can burn out and wiring might deteriorate. Routine lighting inspections ensure that lights function properly and that there are no electrical risks, such as flickering lights or damaged wiring.
- Electrical Panel Inspection: The electrical panel is the heart of the electrical system, supplying power to various areas of the structure. Keeping the panel in good operating order includes inspecting it for signs of overheating, corrosion, or loose connections.
- Avoiding Overloaded Circuits: Overloaded circuits are a leading cause of electrical failures in commercial buildings. Preventive commercial electrical maintenance includes analyzing electrical load distribution and updating the system as needed to accommodate new equipment.
- Grounding: Grounding systems are regularly inspected and tested as part of the commercial electrical maintenance process to ensure that the building’s electrical equipment is correctly grounded, reducing the risk of electric shock and fire threats.
