5 Ways A Commercial Electrician Can Enhance Your Business Premises

If you run or own a business, there are no doubt many aspects of that business that you are responsible for, and one which should never be far from your mind is maintaining the office or factory in which you are located. This could include mundane jobs, such as calling out a plumber to fix a leaky tap, to more comprehensive jobs, whereby you might employ an electrician to install the wiring when you upgrade your offices, for example.

In fact, there are many ways in which an electrician, or more specifically, a commercial electrician, can provide you with several advantages in relation to your business premises and your business as a whole. They might not seem that obvious to you right now, so to change that, we are about to outline 5 ways in which a commercial electrician can enhance your business premises, and your business, including its profits.

Reduce Energy Consumption And Your Energy Bills

Any bill or cost which your business incurs reduces its profit levels, and so your aim must be to reduce them where you can. A commercial electrician is an ideal candidate to help you identify where those savings could be made. They can recommend a number of energy efficiencies with specifics ranging from the types of bulbs you use in your lighting fixtures to installing a dimmer or timer switches for lighting and other electrical equipment.

Provide A Safer Working Environment For Your Employees

Safety should be a number one priority for any business owner, and one way a commercial electrician can assist you in meeting your safety obligations is by conducting regular electrical inspections. These can identify parts of your electrical systems that are outdated or which pose a risk of electrocution or fire. These may also mean you are in non-compliance with statutory safety regulations and standards, which can be an unwanted legal minefield for any business owner.

So, whether you are a professional cleaner or a homeowner looking to keep your carpets in top shape, keep reading to learn our top tips for carpet cleaning.

1. Vacuum regularly

One of the simplest and most effective ways to keep your carpet looking great is by vacuuming regularly. Vacuuming your carpet on a regular basis helps to remove dirt, dust, and debris that can accumulate in your carpet fibers and cause them to look dull and dingy over time. Vacuuming your carpet can also help to prevent buildup of allergens and particles that can cause respiratory problems. Be sure to use the right vacuum for the job; for instance, an upright vacuum is better for higher pile carpets. Additionally, make sure to empty the vacuum canister after each use to prevent it from getting clogged and losing suction.

2. Don’t use harsh chemicals

When it comes to carpet cleaning, it’s important to not use harsh chemicals. Not only can harsh chemicals be dangerous to your health, they can also damage your carpet fibers and cause discoloration. For a deep clean, it’s best to use natural, non-toxic ingredients that won’t harm your carpet or the environment. A mixture of white vinegar, baking soda, and some essential oils can go a long way to removing bacteria, odors, and stains. Be sure to test this solution in a small, inconspicuous area of your carpet first to make sure it won’t damage the fibers.

Wet Wipes and Plumbing Problems

We like to compare great inventions by saying ‘best thing since sliced bread.’ Antibacterial wipes, or wet wipes as we call them in Australia, are up there in high favouritism for parents with babies. They have gained in popularity with all ages so they are no longer exclusive to parents with toddlers. The problem now, for plumbers in particular, is that they are used as an alternative to toilet paper. Some of these products are being marketed (incorrectly) as being flushable and as a result are causing some major problems with wastewater systems.

The fact that they are not suitable to be disposed of in our toilet systems has been backed by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). Regardless of the bad press they are receiving from plumbing services and councils, there is still one in four people in the metro area flushing these wet wipes down the toilet. Sewer blockages in cities are because of the wet wipes.

There are a few reasons why you should not flush wet wipes down the toilet:

They present a significant environmental hazard.
