But for some businesses, things never stopped. And one of those companies was HF. With our Manned 24 hour Call-out Service, we provide electrical, mechanical and fire & security call out services for customers nationwide three hundred and sixty five days a year!
So while the majority of the country was taking time off over Christmas, our team have been hard at work ensuring that businesses in retail, the hospitality sector, manufacturing, leisure etc can keep working through the busy Christmas period. And while it would take too long to list all of the jobs that we have been working on over the holidays, we wanted to share a few examples of the kind of services that we have been carrying out as part of a vital service for so many businesses that depend on electricity, plumbing, heating and ventilation during the holiday season.
A well know restaurant chain in its Glasgow location had a serious issue in the build up to Christmas. The interlock panel in their kitchen area activated and shut off the gas supply! And no gas means no cooking which is a fairly important part of a restaurants business model. Our emergency call out team were on site ASAP and had the issue fixed within one hour of the call coming in. This meant that the restaurant suffered minimal disruption during one of their busiest times of the year.
A popular bar in Livingston was alarmed to find that one of their hand dryers in the toilets had begun sparking. This posed a serious risk to life and our emergency call out team were able to quickly get to the job and make safe the electrical device while a new one was ordered and fitted in at the beginning of the year.
The main control panel for the extractor fan in a fast food restaurants kitchen area had developed a fault meaning that the kitchen could not turn on the extractor fan. Our electricians were on site and fixed the issue within an hour of the call.
When a freezer looses power, it can become a big problem for the restaurant as they could loose the food stock currently in the freezer. That was exactly what happened for a take away restaurant in Glasgow’s City Centre but thankfully, HF were there to help. Our repair team had the issue fixed within one hour of arrival and we are delighted to say that there was no loss of stock for the restaurant.
With the amount of sub zero days and nights causing issues with domestic and commercial properties this winter, our Mechanical team have been working flat out 24/7 helping customers with burst pipes caused by the freeze. With the temperatures in Scotland having frequently gone below zero over Christmas, there has been a lot more frozen pipes and burst pipes that in recent years meaning our plumbing team have been working very hard.
