Does My Commercial Property Need a Rewire?
Sometimes it is clear and obvious that a building needs a rewire. This could be due to the annoyance of frequent power outages or visible signs of faulty wiring. Detecting faults early is essential in ensuring the safety of anyone in and around the building. If you are experiencing any electrical issues, speak with an electrician immediately.
A rewire may be suggested if the results of an EICR are inadequate. An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is an inspection which must be carried out by commercial property owners once every five years. The reason for EICR’s is to detect early faults before hazards can occur. This helps keep the building and staff protected from electrical dangers. During an EICR a qualified electrician will inspect and test your electrical system to see the overall condition of wiring, circuits and fittings. Depending on the results, this will determine what actions are required.
Lastly, you may decide to rewire your building during a renovation. This is an ideal time as the building may be empty or have a reduced footfall of staff. During a renovation it is important to design the layout of the business so the installation of lighting and sockets can be fitted to the correct locations. It is easier to do this now than at a later date.
The Benefits of Rewiring a Commercial Property
The benefits behind a total rewire is the increase in electrical safety and the increased longevity of your premises. A total rewire removes old electrical sockets, switches and cables which could be partly worn or damaged. The installation of new circuits and wiring will ensure the safety of the electrical system and you can be assured the fittings will meet current electrical regulations and safety standards. You will also get the opportunity to pick appropriate placement of power sockets and lighting which suits your business needs.
