The importance of electrical installation and maintenance, why do we need to conduct periodic electrical maintenance.
Electrical maintenance is mostly neglected, yet it is crucially essential. 
Electricians are only called in case of a new installation or a noticeable problem, usually associated with some part of the wiring, connectors, or fuse board.
Here are some prominent points to convince you about the importance of electrical maintenance.
Assets Protection      
Since new technology is such a critical part of today's industry, it must be protected and shielded from electrical disruption. Therefore, any damage to these assets may result in a significant setback for the business. A broken circuit or socket will quickly destroy a high-cost piece of equipment. Thus, resulting in an expensive repair cost and potential downtime. Furthermore, there is also the risk of lost productive hours.
An electrical system inspected regularly would most likely have an increased lifespan than non-maintained ones.
Equipment that electrical disruptions can damage includes:
1. Computers, Data Servers, and Televisions.
2. Office Devices such as Photocopier, Printer, and Scanner
3. Kitchen Equipment including Fridges, Dishwashers, and Hot Taps
4. Decorative Lighting and Ceiling Fans
Essential Electrical Maintenance Precaution
By doing routine electrical repairs, you can reduce the risk of new problems developing. Furthermore, this will also prevent existing ones from getting worse.
Faults may be identified and corrected with routine monitoring, even before they pose a problem. An electrical inspection can be performed on both the general electrical wiring and individual appliances. When it applies to testing appliances, it is known as Portable Appliance Testing. The frequency and specifications for appliance testing would be determined by the type of building and the equipment used inside.

Avoiding Loss Of Time

Even the simplest of failures can have the most disastrous of consequences. They might even result in destroying business or causing huge losses. Thus, they should be avoided at all costs. Therefore, regular maintenance can ensure that these failures do not occur. However, if they do, they can be addressed to ensure they don’t become a concern.
Electrical Maintenance Ensures Safety
One of the most important aspects of any business is its safety. However, if you do not do enough routine maintenance, you are putting yourself and your co-workers at risk for injury. You will be able to ensure everyone's protection by conducting periodic checks. There are plenty of hazards that may result in damage and loss.
Possible hazards include:
1. Overloading of electrical systems resulting in damaging important devices
2. Damaged sockets or wires
3. Incorporation of extension leads
4. Destruction of lighting and other equipment due to voltage issues
Any of the above may pose a danger, which may result in electric shock or fire. Regular electrical maintenance addresses these conditions and creates a resolution strategy. This design should not only ensure safety but should also save time and money.
Greater Energy Efficiency
Any electrical wastage may contribute to excessive costs. To avoid any potential consumption issue and reduce energy wastage, an electrical maintenance engineer should regularly assess your energy consumption. This will ensure that your bills are accurate and are not excessive due to any wastage.
Additional energy efficiency could be achieved by:
1. Replacing outdated lighting equipment with modern and efficient ones
2. Installing well-organized heating systems
3. Elimination of unused devices, like old printers and scanners
4. Buying energy-efficient equipment
Electrical Maintenance Summary
The significance of routine electrical testing and repair cannot be ignored. Regular maintenance and upgrading of equipment will not only save time and money, but will also ensure the safety and protection of the people around it.
