What is Programmed Electrical Maintenance?

Programmed electrical maintenance is a structured approach to managing your electrical system. Rather than waiting for something to break, a programmed maintenance schedule keeps everything working at its best through regular checks, testing and servicing throughout the year.

Our electrical maintenance programs are tailored to the needs of your property. The scope of each visit, the frequency of inspections and the format of your service records are all agreed on before any work begins.

A typical electrical maintenance program covers:

Each program is built around your property, not a generic checklist.

Why Electrical Maintenance Matters for Your Business

Electrical faults do not always give warning before they cause damage. Overloaded circuits, deteriorating wiring, loose connections and worn safety switches can all go unnoticed until they create a real problem. That is why ongoing electrical maintenance services are so important for any commercial property.

Regular electrical system maintenance protects your business in several key ways.

Safety for Your Staff and Customers

Electrical faults are a leading cause of workplace injuries and building fires. Preventative electrical maintenance reduces this risk by identifying problems before they become dangerous.

Compliance with Australian Idols

Businesses have legal obligations around electrical safety. Electrical compliance maintenance keeps your property up to date and provides written records for audits, inspections or insurance purposes.

Lower Repair Costs Over Time

Preventive maintenance electrician visits cost far less than emergency callouts or major repairs after a failure. Small faults found during a routine visit are quick and affordable to fix.

Less Downtime for Your Business

An electrical failure at the wrong time can stop your operations completely. Scheduled electrical maintenance significantly reduces the chance of unexpected outages and keeps your business moving.

Longer Life for Your Electrical Assets

Regular electrical asset maintenance extends the working life of your equipment and infrastructure. This saves money over time and reduces the frequency of large capital replacements.

Our Commercial Electrical Maintenance Services

Stuart Johnston Electrical delivers a complete range of electrical maintenance services for commercial and industrial properties. Our programmed maintenance services are available for businesses of all sizes across Wollongong and the Illawarra.

RCD Testing and Maintenance

Residual current devices are your first line of protection against electric shock. We test and maintain all safety switches in your facility to confirm they are operating within the correct parameters as required by Australian Standards. RCD testing and maintenance is a core part of any electrical safety maintenance program.

Emergency Lighting Maintenance and Exit Light Testing

Emergency lighting must work when it is needed most. We carry out regular emergency lighting maintenance and exit light testing to ensure all emergency and egress lighting complies with the required standards and is ready to perform in an emergency.

Switchboard Maintenance

Your switchboard controls the flow of electricity through your entire building. Preventative switchboard maintenance includes visual inspections, thermal checks, tightening of connections and testing of circuit breakers and safety switches. This helps prevent faults and supports the safe operation of your electrical system. See our related Load Centre Upgrades service for when your switchboard needs more than maintenance.

Thermal Imaging Electrical Inspection

Thermal imaging is one of the most effective tools for electrical fault prevention. Our team uses infrared cameras to identify hot spots in switchboards, circuits and connections that are not visible to the naked eye. Detecting these issues early prevents equipment damage, fire risks and unexpected failures. Learn more about our dedicated Thermal Imaging service.

Test and Tag Services

Our test and tag services keep your portable electrical equipment safe and compliant. All testing is completed to AS/NZS 3760 and full records are provided after every visit.

Electrical Compliance Testing

We carry out comprehensive electrical compliance testing to confirm your property meets current Australian Standards. Written reports and detailed service records are provided after each visit. These records are valuable for compliance, insurance and property audits.

Electrical Safety Inspections

Our electrical safety inspections cover your wiring, circuits, switchboards, earthing systems, safety switches, emergency lighting and more. These inspections give you a clear and current picture of the health of your electrical system and highlight anything that needs attention.

Electrical Fault Prevention

Through routine electrical testing and maintenance, we identify deterioration, corrosion, loose connections and other issues before they cause failures. Electrical fault prevention is central to every programmed maintenance visit we carry out. If a fault is found during a scheduled visit, we also offer Fault Finding as a standalone service.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to some of the most common questions our customers ask
What is the difference between programmed maintenance and reactive maintenance?
Programmed maintenance, also called preventative electrical maintenance or planned electrical maintenance, involves regular scheduled visits to inspect and service your electrical system before faults occur. Reactive maintenance means calling an electrician only after something has already failed. A programmed maintenance approach costs less over time and significantly reduces the risk of unexpected failures and business disruption.
The right frequency depends on the type of property, the age of the electrical system and any regulatory requirements that apply to your business. Many commercial properties benefit from scheduled visits every six or 12 months. We assess your specific property and recommend a program that suits your situation.
There is no single rule that mandates a universal maintenance schedule for all commercial properties. However, work health and safety laws in New South Wales require that all electrical equipment and installations be kept in a safe condition. For many industries and property types, regular electrical testing and maintenance is both a practical and legal necessity. We can advise you on the requirements that apply to your property.
Yes. We are happy to review your existing service records and take over the programmed electrical maintenance of your property. We carry out an initial inspection to assess the current state of the system before setting up a new maintenance program.
