QUALITY GUARANTEED – THE E-CHECK
Safety, security and energy-saving days with E-check
It is that time again: the Safety, security and energy-saving days 2006 are just around the corner. Use this campaign to check electrical installations.
Nowadays it would be unthinkable to have a home or a business without electrotechnology. First and foremost a regular E-check means safety and security but also energy saving. As part of the E-Check, checks are made on the following: switches, plugs, cables, surge protection, safety and security systems and lighting installations.
The four most important advantages of the E-check:
•
Prevention of the need to make repairs and consequential loss.
•
Protection against unnecessary down time.
•
High energy efficiency via energy saving measures.
•
Insurance protection with an inspection certificate.
Merten supports and promotes the E-check with a safety and security and energy saving package. Please ask your field representative.
Safety, security and energy-saving days the 2nd to the 27th of October 2006
