Price Electronics Ltd

For schools, this will be an annual test including tech blocks.   Records are kept for seven years including item description, location and details of any failures and action taken.   We provide a fixed quote for testing all electrical items at the school, as opposed to charging per item.  RCD sockets are included.

 

A small number of minor repairs such as replacement of plugs is typical.  Testing is thorough. 

​

We will never ask schools to commit to a three year maintenance contract because we believe these are anticompetitive, and our competitors who engage in this practice tend to be expensive.

​

Cluster groups are not as cost-effective as they were a few years ago, at least where we operate (Lower North).  The one day training courses that teach caretakers etc to do this work are very good, but the caretaker never really comes up to speed, and testing is often done in a box-ticking way.  Our fixed quote applies even if you only book us every second or third year.

 

Remedials:  Often while testing appliances we also check old electrical fittings; 1970s sockets in particular are prone to intermittent earth integrity.  Replacement of worn-out mains sockets, light fittings and switches as well as appliance repairs can often be done on the same day and these are quoted separately.  A compulsory Certificate of Compliance will be issued if any fittings are replaced.
