Testing / Preventative Maintenance
CALL Leahy’s FOR A 24/7 RELIABLE,
EXPERT LICENSED ELECTRICIAN in Warrnambool
REWIRING / UPGRADES / SWITCHBOARDS
Once you connect a device to an electrical supply, that device becomes dangerous, regardless of its actual purpose. On top of the danger electricity inherently represents, the flow of electricity instantly activates the danger posed by a machine’s normal operation. Any unintended interruption to electricity’s flow along the way — a surge, a frayed wire or a flawed procedure — can result in disaster.
Sadly, it usually takes such a disaster before we agree to procedures designed to avoid the same disaster from recurring, and that’s when the government steps in to (A) standardise procedures and (B) ensure that everybody complies. This often takes the form of testing and reporting requirements.
Government and site-specific regulations can be a labyrinth of legalese and odd demands. Compliance can be a headache, but a single missed deadline or good faith error can bring unwelcome attention to your company that could be costly and take years to smooth out. On the other hand, thorough, careful routine testing and preventative maintenance can point out potential concerns before they become expensive problems. At the end of the day, society performs these tests because they provide a regular, comprehensive overview of the ongoing health of our systems, and that’s good for continuity of operations.

Types of Testing
Our team offers thermal camera specialists who use top of the line thermal imaging cameras and specialty software to collect the highest quality data and produce the most professional inspection reports. Some of our competitors perform thermal testing using inferior equipment, and we’ve seen that result in unfortunate consequences.
RCD testing safely trips the power on your devices to ensure that they respond properly in the event of an incident. An emergency is not the right time to find out the extent to which your systems aren’t operating safely.
Proper exit and emergency lighting can mean the difference between life and death, so it’s little wonder the government emphasises compliance. Leahy’s has been designing, installing and testing emergency lighting systems for decades, and we can cite the regulations from memory.
General Preventative Electrical Maintenance
It’s just good business to schedule and perform regular maintenance of your building and machine systems because they are sure to fail you at the most inconvenient moments. Early detection of an electrical issue is key to preventing cascading failures. Leahy’s can work with you to design a maintenance agreement that works best for the type of machinery you run and the way you need to run it. Periodically testing, monitoring, fixing or replacing any components of your electrical systems will minimise the chance of unscheduled work stoppage for repairs or more extensive damage caused by continued operations under faulty conditions.
No commercial facility should operate without a maintenance plan — whether you keep qualified electricians on staff or outsource to licensed professionals. Give Leahy’s a call today, and we’ll set you up with a maintenance schedule and experienced specialists.
