Planned Maintenance Market Harborough: Tests and Records
ES Electrical (Midlands) Ltd, a Northampton based electrical contractor, covers planned and reactive maintenance in Market Harborough and the other areas on its published list. Planned maintenance is scheduled testing and inspection that catches faults early, while reactive maintenance is the response once something has already gone wrong.
What is the difference between planned and reactive maintenance?
Planned means on a timetable, catching faults before they cause downtime. Reactive is the call when a fault has already happened. The two work best together.
A planned programme fuse box replacement in Northampton usually covers periodic inspection, emergency lighting tests and fire alarm servicing. The records are what an insurer or a fire officer asks to see. ES Electrical (Midlands) Ltd lists planned and reactive maintenance among its services.
Does a house built in 1970 need rewiring?
Not automatically. Wiring from the 1970s is usually PVC insulated and can still be sound, so a test decides rather than the date. The usual weak points are an old board and lighting circuits without an earth.
When does a refurbishment need new wiring?
A refurbishment is the moment to decide what of the old installation stays. Cabling is never easier than with the plaster off. Testing the existing circuits tells you what is worth keeping.
ES Electrical (Midlands) Ltd takes on refurbishment. The Hawkins factory regeneration in Northampton, 89 apartments, is on its portfolio. It has also reinstated electrics after a flood in Wellingborough.
Can you sell a house with a failed EICr?
Yes. There is no legal requirement to have a satisfactory EICR to sell a house, but a buyer or lender who sees one may use it to negotiate. Fixing the C1 and C2 items before listing usually costs less than the discount a buyer asks for.
How often should emergency lights be tested?
Its job is to light the way out when the mains lighting goes. Fittings are either maintained, always lit, or non maintained, lit only on failure. The standard for it is BS 5266.
Monthly short tests and a yearly full discharge test are expected. Batteries lose capacity without showing it, which is why the long test matters. ES Electrical (Midlands) Ltd installs emergency lighting, and replaced it throughout a Brackmills unit.
