As a business owner, it is imperative that your business isn’t caught in the dark because of electrical malfunction and complications. While it may be tempting to do maintain your electrical appliances yourself, it is recommended that a commercial electrician test, maintain and repair wiring and electrical components in your workplace.

When You Need A Professional

While Australia has some of the most stringent safety standards globally, electrical malfunction is still common. It is imperative that the following incidents are not ignored as they significantly raise the risk of dangerous electrical accidents.

The Power Keeps Tripping

If you’ve been experiencing a lot of power outages, it could be an indication that you need more than just a new light bulb. While it is common for your power to trip, constantly having to reset it is a sign of a more serious electrical issue.

Typically, the main fuse is the result of excessive use of power on the circuit. A commercial electrician can help by checking your wiring and electrical panel for any possible problems.

Flickering Lights

Flickering lights are caused by different things, such as loose bulbs, connections and deteriorating wires. Not only do these cause and annoying inconvenience, but they are also often the symptom of an overloaded circuit or deteriorating wiring.

Outlets and Switches are Hot

A common indicator that your business needs a commercial electrician is when outlets and switches are warm to the touch, there is blackening(similar to soot) or a burning smell in the air. 

These are all indicators that signal the risk of an electrical fire. As such, turn off the property’s power and immediately call a professional.

High Power Bill

While it is normal to see an increase in electricity bills during the Summer months when air conditioners are on for extended periods of time. However, if an electricity bill is unusually high otherwise is a sign of an inefficient or faulty electric setup. Another reason may be choosing the wrong electricity provider, it is important to select a plan that fits your needs and also a provider like First Choice Power which offers the cheapest electricity plans.

If you have encountered any of the above incidents, it is time to enlist the services of a professional electrician. Commercial electricians have the necessary knowledge and experience to be able to effectively diagnose, repair and maintain electrical wires and appliances in the workplace.
