Preventative electrical maintenance identifies issues before they become outages or safety incidents. For commercial tenants, property managers, and strata committees, a scheduled maintenance contract with Millar Electrics means a single point of contact, predictable costs, priority response, and complete documentation for compliance purposes. We tailor maintenance programmes to the size and complexity of your building. A small commercial tenancy may need an annual inspection and RCD test; a large strata complex with common area infrastructure may require quarterly visits and a broader scope.
Why a contract beats reactive call-outs
Reactive electrical work is more expensive and more disruptive. A failed RCD that causes an unplanned outage during trading hours costs lost sales; emergency-rate after-hours work costs a multiple of scheduled rates. A maintenance programme catches degraded RCDs, loose terminations, and overloaded circuits before they fail — and locks in priority response when something does go wrong.
What a contract typically covers
We agree the scope upfront based on your building. Common inclusions: scheduled RCD testing to AS/NZS 3760, emergency and exit lighting tests (six-monthly function and annual full-duration to AS 2293), thermal imaging of switchboards to detect hot spots before they cause faults, switchboard inspections, and minor repairs handled during the visit.
Reporting and compliance
Every visit ends with a written report covering tests performed, results, any faults found, and remediation undertaken. Annual summaries are provided in a format suitable for owners corporation AGMs, insurer audits, and building safety files. Records are retained indefinitely so you can produce them on demand.
