The Benefits of Electrical Maintenance

Manufacturers, utilities, commercial businesses, data centers, energy companies and other organizations can experience the many advantages of electrical maintenance:

• Better safety: Keep your staff and contractors safe from shocks and protect your assets from fire and surges.

• Increased uptime: You can schedule preventive power system maintenance services for convenient times to ensure productivity. In addition, maintenance can prevent unexpected breakdowns, so work remains uninterrupted.

• Full compliance: The 2023 National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70B standard requires organizations to have an electrical maintenance program in place and to conduct regular inspections. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements (29 CFR 1910.303, 1926.403) mandate that employers keep electrical systems free from recognized hazards. Maintenance helps you meet these and other requirements.

• Cost savings: Regular servicing of your equipment can detect and address issues early, extending your electrical equipment's lifespan and reducing the costs of premature replacements. Properly-maintained equipment also operates more efficiently, saving you money on utility costs.

• Improved reliability: About 55% of manufacturers surveyed in the U.S. experienced unplanned downtime in the past 12 months, costing an average of $400,000 hourly. With maintenance, your equipment runs more reliably.

• Detailed insights: Maintenance helps you predict replacement needs, enabling you to schedule upgrades to reduce downtime and maximize savings. Knowing when you need to replace a piece of equipment gives you space to plan and seek out the best price point for new purchases.

• Heightened effectiveness of your maintenance staff: Maintenance staff have the information they need about electrical systems to determine where they need to focus their efforts.
