WINTER MAINTENANCE


occurring and if lights are on a timer make sure that it is set to the right times for dawn and dusk, so there are no periods of low visibility.


Minimise security risks Police statistics show that there are significantly more burglaries during winter, with long dark nights providing cover, and the Christmas period meaning buildings are left empty or understaffed. An electrical contractor can provide advice on security systems and equipment, including CCTV, external lights, and alarms, and check any existing systems - any broken or misaligned cameras which were low priority in the summer months need to be fixed ready for winter.

an audit One way to combat the inevitable energy bill rises that come with colder weather is to make sure your buildings and appliances are as energy efficient as possible.

Everything from the microwave in the break room to the fan heaters stashed under desks gets used more in the winter, as does infrastructure like lighting and heating, so it’s all the more important to be energy efficient, and save money - as well as the planet. Some electrical contractors offer energy efficiency audits, which highlight places your buildings could be more efficient, and allow you to make the best choices.


Know your emergency contacts will


come through All the preparation in the world can’t save you from an unexpected hurricane or blizzard, so it’s crucial to ensure that you have a 24/7 line of contact to your contractors should emergency repairs be needed. Find contractors who are available outside normal office hours, and who can come out and make repairs quickly and efficiently.
