Electricity is a critical part of any property. Proper maintenance ensures safety for patrons, helps
with energy efficiency, and increases the life of the equipment, all things your clients want to
know! Taking steps to maintain an electrical system and keep it fully functional is fundamental
to maintaining a commercial property. It’s necessary to share with your clients that the
efficiency of their system can reduce over time, which is why regular maintenance is essential.
This builds trust and delivers you as the industry expert that you are.
Extended periods of outdoor lighting are required in the winter due to shorter days. Commercial
electrical upkeep is necessary to reduce the risk to customers and employees of tripping or
slipping on something they cannot see. Providing your customer with a customized checklist and
encouraging them to schedule regular maintenance with your company gives a personalized
solution to a problem they know existed but didn’t know how to solve. It not only protects them
but their workers and patrons.
Why Your Clients Need a lighting Maintenance Checklist
The checklist aims to help your customer improve outdoor lighting reliability and maximize
energy while minimizing unnecessary costs. A service they will thank you for! Customizing this
list for your clients will minimize future breakdowns by identifying critical equipment to inspect,
so be sure to add the work you’ve done to their specific checklist.
The customizable checklist covers five areas clients should consider: building safety, increased
equipment life with proper care, preventative electrical care, reliability of electrical equipment,
and energy efficiency. It should also cover safety during maintenance and why preventative
maintenance is so important. Feel free to add to it.
Electrical Maintenance Points to Consider
Building Safety
We know that minor electrical issues can become significant hazards, from property damage or
fires to electrocutions and even death. It is imperative to have a professional ensure everything is working correctly. Identifying and fixing problems before they become expensive or
Increasing the Life of Outdoor Electrical Equipment
When we show up for work, we never even question whether we’ll have electricity. Every
business relies on its electrical system for smooth day-to-day operations. Commercial electrical
upkeep guarantees that all appliances, machinery, devices, and outlets work properly. Your client
can enjoy the peace of mind of everything functioning correctly. They don’t have downtime for
equipment failures or glitches resulting from a faulty electrical system.
Energy Efficiency
Checking in with your clients can help them find energy wasters. For example, switching bulbs
that consume a lot of energy to an LED option. A bonus is that you will get to show your
expertise and help them upgrade energy drainers to make their business more energy efficient to
save costs over time. They will be happy with the monetary savings!
Safety+ Saving Time & Money
A checklist gives customers something tangible to review and understand what needs execution.
Setting up regular times throughout the year to check an electrical system is a great way to
ensure the best use of their time and money. It is important to remind them that they should have
a proactive plan regarding their electrical system. Reactive upkeep is more costly and dangerous.
Being ahead of the ball allows them to manage their time and funds more efficiently. For
example, changing the outdoor bulbs would be more cost-effective than calling you to randomly check or replace blown bulbs and ensure their lights all have the same characteristics.
An excellent outdoor electrical maintenance checklist includes the points made above, but it can
consist of more than just these items. Teaching your clients about their equipment and how to
properly inventory a system with the light manufacturer, contact information, fixture type, and
power consumption will help make things easier for you and them in the long run.
