…In your business

When was the last time you thought about your business’s electrical system? If the answer is “not recently,” you’re not alone. Many businesses in Swindon and the surrounding villages only notice their electrics when something goes wrong. But what if you could avoid costly downtime, safety risks, and even legal penalties by staying ahead with regular maintenance?

Let’s uncover the hidden costs of ignoring electrical upkeep and why investing in maintenance is one of the smartest decisions you can make for your business.

1. Unexpected Downtime

Imagine this: it’s a busy Monday morning, your team is ready to tackle the week, and suddenly the power goes out. Productivity grinds to a halt, deadlines are missed, and your customers are left waiting. Sound familiar?

Electrical faults are a leading cause of unplanned downtime in businesses. Whether it’s an overloaded circuit or a faulty connection, small issues can quickly escalate if not addressed.

How much revenue could your business lose in a single day without power? It’s a question worth considering.

2. Safety Risks and Legal Liabilities

Faulty electrical systems aren’t just inconvenient—they can be dangerous. From fire hazards to electric shocks, neglected electrics can pose serious safety risks to employees and customers.

Under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, businesses are legally required to maintain safe electrical systems. Ignoring this can result in fines, legal action, or even business closure.

Pro Tip: Schedule an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) with a qualified electrician to stay compliant and ensure your workplace is safe.

3. Increased Energy Bills

Are your energy costs creeping up month by month? Faulty wiring and outdated systems are often the culprits. When your electrical system isn’t running efficiently, it uses more energy than necessary, driving up your utility bills.

Solution: Upgrading to energy-efficient lighting or modern electrical systems can save you money in the long run. For more tips, check out our blog https://crannistech.co.uk/how-to-save-money-on-energy/.

4. Equipment Damage and Replacement Costs

Did you know that power surges caused by faulty electrics can damage your equipment? From computers to machinery, even a minor electrical fault can lead to costly repairs or replacements.

Quick Question: What’s the impact on your business if a critical piece of equipment breaks down unexpectedly?

Investing in preventative maintenance protects your assets and keeps your business running smoothly.

5. Damage to Your Reputation
