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 it 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 trip-time testing, test and tag of portable appliances to AS/NZS 3760, emergency and exit lighting tests (six-monthly 90-minute discharge and annual inspection to AS/NZS 2293.2), 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.
