Winter Break Maintenance: Maximize Downtime
Winter break is the perfect time for school maintenance departments to tackle essential tasks without disrupting students or staff. Here's how Batteries Plus can help:
1. Deep Clean and Inspect Lighting
Use the downtime to replace burnt-out bulbs, clean lighting fixtures, and inspect emergency and exit lighting. Consider upgrading to long-lasting LED bulbs to reduce maintenance for years to come.
2. Service and Recharge Maintenance Equipment
Winter break is ideal for inspecting and servicing floor scrubbers, sweepers, and other maintenance equipment. Stock up on fresh batteries and ensure chargers are in working order to avoid disruptions later.
3. Check Touch-Free Devices
Inspect all touchless bathroom fixtures for functionality. Replace batteries in soap dispensers, faucets, and towel dispensers to keep them running smoothly when school resumes.
4. Test and Repair Technology
Bring in laptops and tablets for battery testing and screen repairs. Addressing device issues now ensures students and staff are ready to hit the ground running in the new semester.
