Services / Electrical Service Contract
Commercial buildings depend on electrical systems every day. Lighting, HVAC equipment, controls, machinery, doors, pumps, security systems, office equipment, and other building systems all depend on reliable electrical infrastructure.
When electrical problems occur, businesses can face interruptions, equipment problems, safety concerns, and unexpected repair costs.
An electrical service contract gives a business an ongoing relationship with a commercial electrical contractor for preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, repairs, inspections, and other electrical services.
Overview
An electrical service contract is an ongoing agreement between a business and an electrical contractor covering specified electrical maintenance and service needs.
Rather than hiring an electrician on a completely reactive, emergency-by-emergency basis, a business can establish a continuing relationship with a contractor.

The scope can be customized based on the building and its electrical requirements.

Many businesses don't think about their electrical systems until something stops working.
Unfortunately, waiting for an electrical failure can make repairs more disruptive and potentially more expensive.
Routine electrical maintenance provides an opportunity to identify problems before they become emergencies.
An ongoing service relationship can also make it easier to get help when an unexpected electrical problem occurs.
Planned Service
Preventive maintenance involves inspecting and servicing electrical systems on a scheduled basis rather than waiting for equipment to fail.
Depending on the facility, maintenance may include examining electrical panels, connections, equipment, controls, circuits, lighting, and other components.
A contractor can identify conditions that may require attention and recommend repairs or upgrades.
Response
Electrical problems can range from a failed circuit or light fixture to more complicated issues involving electrical distribution, equipment, controls, or building systems.
When a business already has an electrical service relationship, it has an established point of contact for troubleshooting and repair.
This can be particularly valuable for facilities that depend on electrical equipment for daily operations.
Applications
Electrical service contracts can be useful for many types of commercial properties, including:
Distribution centers
Property management portfolios
Service facilities
Program Design
Equipment
Regular service can help facility managers identify equipment that needs repair or replacement.
Commercial electrical contractors may provide service for a wide range of electrical equipment and systems.
Depending on the contractor's capabilities and the scope of the agreement, this can include:
Emergency Response
Preventive maintenance can reduce the likelihood of certain problems, but no maintenance program can eliminate every electrical emergency.
When an unexpected failure occurs, having an established commercial electrical contractor can simplify the response.
Instead of searching for an unfamiliar electrician during an emergency, facility managers have an existing relationship and a contractor who may already understand the property's electrical systems.
Facility Planning
A service contract can also help businesses plan electrical maintenance expenses.
Routine maintenance can identify repairs or improvements before they become urgent. Facility managers can then evaluate those projects and incorporate them into maintenance or capital budgets.
This can provide greater visibility into upcoming electrical requirements.
Agreement Framework
The right agreement depends on the facility.
Clearly defining these items can help both the business and contractor understand expectations.
How frequently will the contractor inspect and maintain the electrical systems?
Which electrical systems and equipment are included in the agreement?
What happens when an electrical emergency occurs outside normal business hours?
Will the contractor provide records of inspections, maintenance, repairs, and recommendations?
How are repairs, upgrades, and larger electrical projects handled when they fall outside the routine service agreement?
Can the agreement be adjusted if the facility expands, changes equipment, or adds new electrical loads?
Maintenance Frequency
There isn't one maintenance schedule that applies to every commercial property.
Maintenance frequency depends on the type of electrical equipment, facility use, operating environment, age of the electrical system, manufacturer recommendations, and other factors.
A qualified commercial electrical contractor can evaluate a facility and develop an appropriate maintenance schedule.
Contractor Selection
Price is only one consideration when selecting an electrical service provider.
Businesses should also consider commercial experience, response capabilities, quality of workmanship, safety practices, communication, and the contractor's ability to provide both routine service and larger electrical projects.
An established relationship can be especially useful when a business needs electrical troubleshooting or emergency repairs.
