Reactive maintenance electrician

Reactive Maintenance is a general term referring to any maintenance carried out in response to electrical equipment or systems breaking down or failing completely.

Varying situations will require various types of reactive maintenance.

If equipment could pose safety risks to users or employees this would need to be addressed urgently – this type if maintenance should be prioritised over usual activities however is likely to cause downtime and setbacks.

Equipment that breaks down and is non-operational but is still repairable is usually a candidate for reactive breakdown maintenance.

If faults are observed whilst equipment is in use, you can contact a reactive maintenance electrician in Southend, Essex to carry out corrective maintenance to fix the issue before it develops further and causes a potentially lengthily shut down of the equipment.

Commercial and corporate locations such as shops and offices all require electricity to run, supplying essential heat and light. Electricity is responsible for the constant running of fire and intruder alarms, and keeps equipment such as machinery or desktop computers ad laptops online.

Reactive maintenance is an approach some businesses take with the overall mindset being if it's not broke don’t fix it! And in the event that a problem does arise getting in touch with a reactive maintenance electrician to resolve the problem.

Some companies consider this approach as being easier and more cost effective for them as work required will be a fix on an identified issue and not any preventative activities, and for some equipment there are no preventative measures. For example, there is not any way to prolong the life of a light bulb once its blown - that’s it you need a new one. However, in cases if intricate machinery reactive maintenance may have more risks than benefits and repairs can take longer which will have a greater effect on production and costly down time so it could be more cost-effective investing in preventative precautions.

Whilst reactive maintenance is suitable for some installations planned or preventative maintenance can reduce costly and unplanned downtime and can even mean smaller scale more affordable repairs.
