In Wollstonecraft or any other Sydney suburb, you will be in need of professional electrician assistance at one time or another. But these electrical issues at least don’t occur always. So you won’t have to be in search of an electrician all the time. But there are homes and business who do hire the services of electricians even if there is nothing urgent. This type of electrical service is collectively called general maintenance. It can be further categorized into different categories, which are as follows: periodic maintenance, preventive maintenance, inspection, testing, fault finding, and building assessments. These will be compared and contrasted below.
Periodic maintenance is simply a general maintenance electrical service which is performed on a regular basis. It is done with specific intervals such as annually, semi-annually, quarterly, and monthly. The duration will vary depending on a few factors including the area of coverage, the age of the area to be covered, and the frequency of use. The wider the area involved, the less frequent the services will be such as yearly for an entire building. The age of the building also matters. Newer buildings naturally require lesser instances of periodic maintenance as compared to older buildings. The same applies to electrical units, devices, appliances, equipments, or machineries. Newer units will not demand a rigid periodic maintenance as much as older units would. Lastly, the frequency of usage will also decide the duration. Units which are often used will need to be maintained more often than units which are not usually used.
Preventive maintenance on the other hand is performed specifically to find potentially harmful electrical elements. This service is similar to fault finding. The issues are immediately addressed especially if they are very simple. Complicated issues which would require replacing actual units may have to be postponed at a later time particularly if budget is not yet available at the moment when the issue was discovered.
Testing merely tests the performance of specific equipments to ensure that they are on their best working condition. Poorly functioning parts are immediately replaced if possible and deferred only if it entails acquiring parts that are not readily available. Testing is often applied for heavy equipments and machineries used for manufacturing goods in factories and industrial businesses.
Inspection is performed with no specified purpose except to conduct a basic examination of an entire building’s overall electrical system. If not the whole area, inspection can be done to specific areas alone such as high traffic places in a building or frequently used devices. Inspections can be completed at any time a building owner deems it necessary to do so.
Lastly, building assessments are accomplished for a specific purpose such as to gauge a building’s condition when it comes to safety and security or energy efficiency. In relation to this, additional electrical services will be applied in order to make a building’s electrical system more energy efficient, safe, and secure. This service is also used for insurance claims and in acquiring building permits and certifications.
