If you run your own business protecting your employees and assets from the risk of fire is of paramount importance. Commercial buildings are covered by very fire regulations but ensuring you have a working alarm is not only important for protecting your business, it can also help prevent a loss of life.
The term ‘commercial building’ is used to cover any registered building which is used to generate a profit. A huge number of buildings fall into this category, including: retail and entertainment establishments, restaurants and dining premises, factories, industrial buildings, office buildings, garages and vehicle body shops.
Regardless of the size of the building, strict regulations cover the architectural design and the materials the building has been built from, along with adequate evacuation procedures which will vary according to the number of employees/people using the buildings. A range of different types of commercial fire alarm system available and here at Dalec we install, service and repair commercial fire alarms throughout Leeds.

Nights are starting to lengthen as we approach daylight savings time. As a consequence of this burglars are generally starting to see more opportunity, so now is a better time than ever to invest in security lighting. Security lighting offers a highly efficient, cost effective way to improve the security on your business premises.
There is a wide range of different options available with flood lighting, with LED being the most popular, and here’s why;
LED light bulbs are proven to last 25 times longer than regular bulbs(incandescent), and therefore will be more efficient for security purposes.
LED light bulbs are very environmentally friendly in fact, studies have proven that regular bulbs will use up to 5 times more energy
Regular lightbulbs are proven to be a lot less cost effective than using LED bulbs. LED bulbs are proven to be 25 times more cost effective than regular bulbs, in the long run.
To get the maximum benefit from security lighting it is important that they are installed by professional electricians. Lights need to be carefully positioned in strategic areas with close consideration paid to the potential effects on neighbouring properties.

If you’re anything like the team here at Dalec, you’ll be fed up of the long dark nights and short days that we have at the time of year.
Security lighting is an excellent way to not only protect your home or business against theft or vandalism, it can also prove a valuable asset in helping navigate around the exterior of your property at night. Before installing security lighting at my home, I’d lost count of the number of times I arrived home at night and struggled to locate my keys in the dark, or answered the door without being able to see who was standing on my front step. However security lighting will effectively illuminate your driveway and doorways at night, whilst providing an excellent deterrent against intruders.
At Dalec we install and fit security lighting systems to homes and businesses throughout Leeds, Keighley and Yorkshire and can offer advice on the most effective lighting for your property. From a simple motion sensor security light to protect your back garden, through to programmable lighting solutions to designed to protect large buildings, our team will happy to talk through the various options available.
When fitted in conjunction with a security system, security lighting offers the reassurance of complete protection from intruders and at Dalec we have many years of experience in the design and installation of security systems.
For extra protection for your home or business throughout the year, why not get in touch for further information on installing security lighting?

We thought we’d kick off this year’s blogs with a reminder about electrical safety in the kitchen. Now you may not have realised it but the kitchen is the most dangerous room in the house. More than 50% of house fires begin in a kitchen. Kitchen fires can start for a variety of reasons but most are due to faulty wiring, pans left unattended or when electrical sockets come into contact with water. However by following a few simple electrical safety rules, you can help make your kitchen a safer place to be!
Now most modern kitchens boast an alarming number of electrical appliances and gadgets so having an adequate supply of electrical sockets is essential. Never overload sockets and regardless of how small your kitchen may be, it is vital that sockets are positioned well away from taps and any other sources of water.
Even if electrical kitchen appliances meet current British safety standards, they can still be potentially dangerous if used incorrectly. Smaller kitchen appliances such as toasters, microwaves and kettles should always be turned off when not in use and it’s important to ensure that electric chords are kept well away from hot surfaces such as cooker hobs. It goes without saying that small appliances should never be positioned under or near curtains or blinds.
If you’ve moved house or are considering having a new kitchen fitted, it’s important to contact registered safety professionals such as Dalec for advice on the electrical wiring in your kitchen. As specialists in all types of electrical installation, we can offer guidance on the best places for plug sockets and can carry out safety checks on electrical wiring of any age.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any questions about electrical safety in your home. We’re specialists in electrical safety and electrical installations – our services are available to homes and businesses throughout Leeds and West Yorkshire.
