Protect Equipment and Extend Its Operational Life
- Just like getting regular oil changes on your car, staying proactive when it comes to preventive maintenance will save you money down the road.
- If you have special equipment like conveyor belts, compressors or pumps. This equipment already has manuals that tell you when general maintenance services are due. You can simply tie our service agreements in with those. But you can choose to use a different maintenance schedule interval.
Controlling and Reducing Energy Costs
- Regularly scheduled maintenance, as with your car or other equipment, can significantly extend the operating life of your equipment and related systems.
- By investing in maintenance, you can lower your operating costs in the long run, as properly maintained equipment lasts longer and requires fewer costly repairs. This can also help extend the useful life of your equipment, meaning you'll need to make less frequent investments in new capital equipment.

Maintenance for Overloaded Circuits
Are you experiencing tripping circuits in your office? This problem is often caused by overloading a specific circuit, which can occur when too many devices are relying on your wiring. Ignoring a tripping circuit can lead to damage to your electronics, wiring, and even cause fires. Be aware of the following symptoms of overloaded circuits: receiving a shock from touching the system, warped or discolored wall plates, a burnt smell emanating from the receptacle, blown fuses, or dim, buzzing, flickering lights. To prevent overloaded circuits, make sure equipment and appliances are plugged directly into wall receptacles, as power strips do not provide additional power to devices, only more outlets. Avoid relying on extension cords, and never use them on high amperage equipment.
Overloaded circuits can cause various symptoms, including:
- Electric shock when touching the system
- Warped or discolored wall plates
- Burning smell from the receptacle
- Blown fuses
To prevent these issues, we take the following measures:
- Inspection and Cleaning Electrical Panels: Electrical panels are responsible for distributing power throughout a building or home, and over time they can become dirty and dusty, leading to poor electrical connections and overheating. By inspecting and cleaning the panels on a monthly basis, electrical companies can ensure that the panels are functioning properly and prevent potential overload circuits.
- Circuit Breakers Inspection: Circuit breakers are designed to protect circuits from overloading, and if they are not functioning properly, they can lead to overheating and damage to the electrical system. By checking the circuit breakers on a monthly basis, electrical companies can identify any issues and make the necessary repairs or replacements.
- Test Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs): GFCIs are designed to protect people from electrical shock by shutting off power to a circuit when a ground fault occurs. By testing GFCIs on a monthly basis, electrical companies can ensure that they are functioning properly and prevent potential electrical hazards.
- Inspection of Electrical Wiring: Electrical wiring can become damaged over time due to wear and tear or exposure to the elements, and this can lead to overheating and potential overload circuits. By inspecting the wiring on a monthly basis, electrical companies can identify any issues and make the necessary repairs or replacements to prevent potential hazards.
