Keeping your employees
happy is important if you are hoping for increased productivity and
decreased recruitment costs. There are also legal requirements for
the correct lighting to be installed in workplaces. It is important
that when selecting an electrician to carry out work in the workplace
or office that they have experience of carrying out such work.
What kind of work is
carried out by commercial electricians?
As industrial and commercial electricians, we have over 30 years
experience in carrying out commercial electrical work across London.
This work can involve anything from PAT testing of appliances to
lighting designs and installs. In fact, effective workplace lighting
should never be underestimated. If you are a business owner looking
to increase productivity in a big way, you need to be speaking to an
electrician with commercial expertise.
When is the right
time to replace office lighting?
Lighting
in the office is more than just ceiling lights. Office lighting can
consist of signage, promotional areas and emergency lighting.
In hotels and leisure outlets, decorative lighting can make a
difference to reception areas, hall ways, conference rooms and any
area where customers can purchase goods. However lighting is far
more than stylish features. Here at Fulcher Edwards we pride
ourselves on creating and installing outstanding eye catching
lighting systems. Lighting is essential for employee loyalty,
customer comfort and of course energy efficiency and low cost
maintenance.
If you haven't given
much thought to workplace lighting in recent years, now is a great
time to consult a qualified commercial electrician who can advise,
design and install a lighting system which has great functionality
and looks the part. Old inefficient lighting systems are costly to
run and maintain and commonly lead to eye strain and discomfort
amongst employees particularly if they work at computers.
What is the big deal
about energy efficiency?
There
is a lot of publicity at the moment about energy efficiency. Energy
efficiency really does have viable benefits that will see your
business achieve real savings – that could be invested elsewhere.
Lighting makes up around 20% of the average business energy bill, so
it is important that your lighting is not costing more than
necessary.
Becoming
energy efficient does not mean radical changes need to be made. A
simple change over from halogen bulbs to LED for example will see
instant savings being made.
Keeping up to date
with changing technology and better performance
Many
of the businesses we work with here at Fulcher Edwards seek cutting
edge technology with performance. We specialise in designing and
installing lighting and electrical installations that bring current
workplace lighting up to date but which also looks good. To this end
we ensure that all lighting we install in workplaces and retail units
is adequate for the needs and is better designed for performance.
Of
course lighting design and installation is much more than just
screwing in bulbs. We work with many retro companies such as
restaurants, shops and hotels. We often find during lighting
upgrades that larger retro fittings are needed to produce adequate
lighting for the building.
Where functional lighting is required such as in offices, it is possible to
install fewer up to date light fittings by upgrading from old style
florescent lighting.
Whatever
lighting is decided upon, the aim is for increased comfort and
reduced running costs. In turn, leading to increased productivity
and consumer spending.
Using the right
commercial electrician
To
bring your commercial lighting project to fruition, it is important
to find a commercial electrician who has the level of experience
needed. In fact finding the right commercial electrician for your
project will be key to its success. A commercial electrician needs
to be able to make timely and helpful recommendations, work
professionally and efficiently so as not to disrupt your business.
If
you are looking for a 'one stop shop' for your lighting needs, then
you need look no further. Our commercial electricians here at
Fulcher Edwards will ensure that your commercial lighting design is
completed by established, reliable, commercial electricians who
understand the needs of your business.
