Prevention vs. Reaction: Why Annual Electrical Maintenance Should Be Part of Your Yearly Checklist

It’s hard to imagine that this time last year, we thought that COVID would be over in just a few months. With over a year under our belts, the safety practices that seemed so foreign to us at the beginning are now, well, just normal. Masks in public, keeping our bubbles small, washing our hands frequently, staying home if we feel unwell – all of this we do now without even thinking about it. Isn’t it amazing how hard we are all working to keep ourselves safe?

The truth is, some of these new habits are just that – new. Before COVID, we likely often went out when we felt unwell, we didn’t worry so much about germs and we may not have been as diligent about our handwashing.

So what does this have to do with electricity, electricians or Rooham?

Here’s the tie-in.

We have had to build new habits and start taking our physical health and safety more seriously because suddenly there was something to be concerned about. This is how our focus shifts with most things, or how we become aware we need to take precautions or change things – because something happens that forces us to look at the issues. Wouldn’t it be better if we could be proactive about these things? Stop potential problems in their tracks?

Of course, there are some things we can’t see coming – like COVID. But some things are most certainly preventable – like the electrical safety of our homes.

Annual electrical maintenance checks can help us spot potential problems before they become real issues that could cause damage or disaster, such as an electrical fire. We all think it will not happen to us (and we certainly hope it doesn’t!), but why would we want to take that chance?

When it comes to potential electrical issues, not all of us know what to look for (many of us do not), which is why it is best to have a certified professional look. It’s the same as booking your annual check-up with the doctor. Most likely, there is nothing to worry about, but we do it anyway and we leave it up to the doctor who is trained in what to look for.

So, give us a call today to book your annual electrical maintenance inspection. Let us ensure that your home is safe and point out any potential issues that should be looked at. Our priority is to keep you and your family safe.
