The Commercial Electrical Checklist Every Colorado Business Owner Should Run Once a Year
Electrical failures in a business are expensive twice: once for the repair and again for the lost hours. An hour with this checklist every year, or a maintenance agreement that does it for you, prevents most of them.
Thermal scan the panels
A loose lug or failing breaker shows up as a hot spot months before it fails. Annual scans are standard in our electrical maintenance agreements.
Test emergency and exit lighting
Fire inspectors test it; so should you. Press the test button on each unit monthly and run a 90-minute test annually.
Test every GFCI
Commercial kitchens, bathrooms and exteriors rely on GFCIs that wear out. Press test and reset on each; replace any that fail.
Look at the lighting bill
If you still have fluorescent tubes or metal halide, an led lighting retrofit typically pays back in one to three years and many Colorado utilities offer rebates.
Review capacity before adding equipment
New ovens, chargers, compressors or server racks each need their own circuit. Our commercial electrician team can size the addition before it trips your existing circuits.
Plan for the outage
Restaurants and medical offices lose inventory and appointments in an outage. Consider a generator installation with an automatic transfer switch.
