This is why Electrical Safety Inspections matter! During a recent Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR), we discovered this three-phase isolator inside a distribution board. At first glance, everything appeared to be operating normally. But behind the panel, this is what we found. A terminal connection had overheated. Over time, a loose or high-resistance connection generates heat. That heat damages insulation, causes burning, and can eventually lead to arcing or fire. The equipment was still in service when this was discovered. The isolator was removed and replaced, the cable re-terminated correctly, and the installation made safe. A potential electrical failure was prevented before it escalated. Electrical systems rarely fail instantly. They degrade slowly over time. An EICR is designed to find these issues early — before they become expensive, disruptive, or dangerous. If your building hasn’t had an electrical inspection in the last 5 years (commercial) or 10 years (domestic), it may be time to review it. Sometimes the problem is hidden behind a panel door. Electrical safety is preventative, not reactive. #ElectricalSafety #EICR #FacilitiesManagement #BuildingCompliance #ElectricalInspection #PreventativeMaintenance #aberdeen

Before → After. 58 sodium high-bays removed. 40 LED fittings installed. Brighter space. Up to 50–70% less lighting energy. Lower running costs. Industrial lighting is often the fastest ROI upgrade in a building. #Aberdeen #EnergyEfficiency #CommercialElectrical #LEDLighting
