4. Set Timers and Smart Controls
Instead of leaving lights on for security, install or update timers and smart lighting controls.
You can program outdoor or lobby lights to switch on and off automatically, saving energy while keeping your premises visible and secure.
Smart tip: Use motion sensors or photocell-controlled lights for extra efficiency.
5. Test Security & CCTV Systems
Your CCTV and access control systems will be working overtime while you’re away.
Now’s the time to test cameras, clean lenses, check recording backups, and confirm that alerts are working properly.
If your site includes automatic gates or doors, make sure they close fully and safely before the break.
6. Protect Against Cold Weather
Electrical systems can be affected by extreme cold and damp.
If you have outdoor sockets, EV chargers, or lighting, inspect weatherproof enclosures and cable glands for cracks or damage.
For unheated buildings, consider using smart thermostats or frost-protection heaters, safely wired and RCD-protected.
7. Schedule a Post-Holiday Electrical Health Check
January is the perfect time to plan ahead. Whether you need an EICR, lighting upgrade, or full electrical maintenance check, booking early ensures you start the new year safely and efficiently.
At Blaby Electrical, we offer comprehensive inspections for commercial and industrial clients. Helping you stay compliant, save energy, and prevent downtime.
Wrap Up the Year Safely
A few simple steps before the Christmas break can prevent major issues later.
Take the time to power down properly, and your business will thank you when everything switches back on smoothly in the new year.
From all of us at Blaby Electrical, we wish our clients, partners, and the Leicestershire business community a safe and joyful festive season!
