It would be a world without all those lights, air-conditioning, gadgets, and all the appliances we power, consume, and use for conventional comforts.

This reliance means that we must look after our electrical systems at home and work and make diligent efforts to ensure they are in good shape.

Read our pointers for some electoral enlightenment on the perks of rewiring.

• A good place to start is to consider the state of your property’s wiring system. Is it safe? Is it secure? Do you know when it was last serviced?
•  If you have your property on the residential or commercial rental market, then the safety of your tenants are in your hands, and you have a duty of care to ensure minimum hazards and maximum safety of your infrastructure.
•  Sometimes, you may be chewing more electricity than intended because of the way your property is wired. If you suspect so, give us a call for a speedy inspection and professional advice.
•  Remember that Fiji has a destructive cyclone (and off-cyclone) season, so many buildings get damaged, altered and even destroyed by cyclones, flooding and landslides. If your property is on the radar and is impacted, get your electrical systems in order and consider a periodic check up with Sigatoka Electric.
• If you want to renovate, then you will likely need extra wiring to cater for more electrical outlets and power sockets. Expanding your infrastructure also means expanding your electoral use.

These reminders are for you to reduce the risks of electrical faults and the consequent fires that destroy buildings and more sadly, take lives.

Live well, live safely.
