Let us help you prepare your business for the holiday season
As the festive season approaches, businesses and offices are preparing to close down or run a skeleton crew for the holiday period.
Leaving your office unattended during this period can be nerve racking as the thought of security or needlessly high energy bills threaten to ruin your holiday break.
Ask MPE Group’s expert electricians how we can help prepare your business for shutting down and about our 24 hour emergency services.
Energy-saving
Energy saving is often more than just switching off electrical appliances. Many businesses are unable to power down completely so here are some tips to ensure your office is energy efficient over the holiday period:
MPE Group’s electrical maintenance team can test your electronics to ensure compliance and safety as well as to assess how optimally they are running. Ageing appliances that work inefficiently drive more power than required, even in standby mode.
MPE Group’s electricians can also conduct Switchboard testing and thermographic imaging to ensure the core of your electrical system is safely functioning.
MPE Group’s specialist team can conduct energy-saving maintenance on all HVAC systems leading into the warmer months. Heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) can contribute up to 50% of energy bills in commercial properties. Programming their usage for the shutdown can help you save on your electrical bills.
Security measures
There’s more to shutting down your office than just locking up your doors and valuables. Here are some tips for office safety over the break:
Ask the team at MPE Group about installing video monitoring systems or security cameras to ensure your property is safe.
Have MPE Group’s electrical team test all security equipment. This includes your exit and emergency lighting, fire alarms, security cameras and surveillance systems. It is also incredibly important to ensure that holiday decorations don’t obstruct any security systems.
Turning off your lights is the usual last step for closing down your offices for the year, especially for saving energy, but consider engaging an MPE Group electrician to install timers or motion-sensor lighting both inside and outside the building to keep your space secure during the holidays.
If you’re unsure how to effectively tackle your energy usage and office security for the holiday shutdown period, contact our friendly electricians at MPE Group for advice. From modern security systems to electronic testing, MPE Group is here to help you prepare your business for the festive season.
