Avoid electrical malfunctions before it is too late!

The older the electrical system of your building, the more likely it is that it will have failures which increase the chances of situations that end up in severe accidents.

Don’t wait until the last minute when an electrical failure occurs. Regular inspections will pay off in the long run. Think about it like this: the best way to save costs on electrical malfunctions is to catch them before they even happen.

Ausgrid recommends that customers arrange for regular safety checks of their existing or newly purchased home, especially where old wiring has deteriorated and become unsafe. Special attention should be paid to all the following aspects of existing installations:

Service neutral links and the customer’s active and neutral links
Overhead point of attachment including exposed consumers mains that are often prone to ultraviolet degradation
The structural integrity of private pole as (and other private poles)
Old hinged wooden switchboards
Obsolete service fuses
Old underground service termination boxes and old overhead mains connection boxes
Private aerial mains, particularly bare mains in bush fire-prone areas

It is recommended that periodic checks be carried out on safety switches (every six months) and circuit breakers (every two years) in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations and Australian Standards. Any identified potential safety hazards associated with Ausgrid’s service mains should be referred to Ausgrid’s emergency services and we will carry out any necessary repairs.

In simple words, regular electrical commercial inspections performed by a reliable company will guarantee that your systems are always in good, safe working condition.

Save costs on electrical failures

When an electrical failure happens, there are additional costs and business delays that can set your business back significantly. Even worse, you can lose the whole building in a fire. Many unfortunate fires start with poorly maintained or outdated electrical systems. So, when it comes to the high costs of electrical failures, these inspections of your electrical systems in your building or Office Space are a worthwhile investment.
