Relocation of medical offices or dental clinics is not as simple as moving a few filing cabinets and furniture pieces. You may have to dismantle and reinstall sophisticated machinery, high value equipment, and delicate appliances. Typically, you do not have the liberty of time because  patients are awaiting treatment at your office. If there is even the slightest delay in your planned relocation, it will inconvenience both, patients, as well as your staff. 

As a business owner or property manager, much of your time and energy goes into the upkeep of the facilities that house your products, services, or production lines. With endless hours of hard work going into your setup, you want to take every possible precaution to prevent any hazards, including electrical fires. Properly designed electrical solutions and accurate installation of your equipment and machinery are the basis for keeping your premises electrically safe and sound. Moreover, periodic testing and timely upgrades will go a long way in protecting your precious commercial assets and investments from any potential electrical issues.

Commercial outlets and industrial facilities often rely on standby generators for uninterrupted power supply to carry their business through a power outage. Industries, such as oil and gas, aviation, construction, telecommunication or data centers that are heavily reliant on stable power sources also do not hesitate to invest in smart backup power solutions. In fact, in the U.S., ‘emergency power systems’ are mandatory by law for all building systems that could create a safety hazard for humans, in case of lack of power. Typically, this includes healthcare facilities, schools, high-rises, underground buildings, and many others. Certain states have also mandated ‘standby power’ for industries where the building systems could disrupt businesses, even though they may not impact human life. 

Power outages can happen at any time. From hurricanes, blizzards and other natural disasters, to industrial or domestic accidents, there are a number of reasons for sudden and unplanned loss of electricity. As an administrator, owner or property manager of a seniors’ facility, you may be aware of the grave consequences of such outages. In fact, several aspects, such as access, mobility, or health support systems could suffer without emergency restoration of power. 

Are there certain appliances or machinery that are vital for running your business? Will their non-performance lead to adverse consequences, such as lost productivity or compromised product quality? Business-critical machines need special care to keep them up and running at all times. While routine maintenance may require planned downtime for the equipment, power outages or sudden failures in electrical systems may impact your production efficiencies, customer satisfaction, as well as profitability.
