Why Are Electrical Maintenance Services Required?
Servicing and maintaining your electrical network matters for a few key reasons. First and foremost, it helps protect your property against electrical fires. It also saves money over time by catching issues early, before they become major repair bills. For rental providers and businesses, regular servicing also supports your safety and compliance obligations.
Your electrical system is central to how your home or business runs, so if you have any concerns about the safety of your equipment, arrange for a licensed electrician to carry out an inspection.
How Often Should Maintenance be Carried Out?
How often you need servicing depends on the equipment and how hard it works – there’s no single rule. Some items need a yearly check, others only every few years, while safety-critical equipment should be tested more often. Here’s a general guide:
Switchboards
Service every 1 - 2 years
Wiring
Inspect every 5 years
Smoke Alarms
Test yearly
Circuits
Test every 6 months
