Introduction — why a proactive plan + fast reactive repairs matters
Electrical systems are the unseen backbone of every home, office and commercial site. Left unchecked they cause downtime, create fire risks, reduce equipment life, and inflate running costs. GossTech Services combines proactive maintenance contracts with dependable reactive repairs so your lights stay on, equipment runs efficiently and safety standards are met.
Whether you run a small shop in Westlands, manage a large apartment block in Kilimani, operate a factory outside Nakuru or manage estates across Kisumu and Mombasa, we provide practical, cost-effective electrical care — scheduled inspections, preventive maintenance, asset tagging, and fast emergency response when faults happen.
This pillar post lays out:
- What our maintenance contracts include (tiers & benefits)
- How our reactive repair service works (response, diagnosis, fix)
- Areas we serve (Nairobi estates and towns across Kenya) with a short summary of services in each area
- Clear pricing structure models, SLAs, and sample checklists you can use to scope your contract
- FAQs and call-to-action (contact details)
What is a Maintenance Contract (and why you need one)
A maintenance contract (also called a Planned Preventive Maintenance or PPM agreement) is an ongoing service relationship where GossTech routinely inspects, tests, cleans and maintains your electrical installations to prevent failures, maintain compliance and extend equipment life. Instead of waiting for breakdowns (which are costly and disruptive), PPM reduces unplanned downtime and spreads maintenance cost predictably.
Core benefits
- Reduced emergency repairs and downtime
- Predictable maintenance budgets (fixed monthly/quarterly fees)
- Improved safety and regulatory compliance (inspections, earthing tests, RCD/GFCI tests)
- Extended life of electrical assets (motors, switchboards, UPS, generators)
- Priority response and discounted rates for reactive repairs
Our Maintenance Contract Tiers (summary table)
| Tier | Who it’s for | Frequency | Typical inclusions | Response priority |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Small shops, apartments, SME offices | Quarterly | Visual inspections, lamp replacements, minor wiring fixes, load balancing checks, safety walk-through | Standard (48–72 hrs) |
| Business | Medium offices, retail, small clinics | Bi-monthly | Everything in Essential + thermal imaging of panels, earthing tests, RCD testing, distribution board checks, spares management | High (24–48 hrs) |
| Enterprise | Large estates, hotels, schools, factories | Monthly | Everything in Business + full switchboard servicing, surge protection, generator & UPS checks, predictive maintenance, asset tagging & reports | Priority (4–12 hrs) |
| Custom / Project | Construction sites, major installations | As agreed | Designated techs, SLAs, on-site inventory, dedicated account manager, bespoke test regimes | SLA-based immediate response |
Note: Contract scope is tailored after a free site survey. We can include inventory, spare parts stocking, and online maintenance logs on request.
What reactive repairs look like (our standard process)
- Report & Triage — Call 0723613664 or email info@gosstech.co.ke. Provide site, fault description, any safety concerns.
- Dispatch & ETA — We triage and dispatch the closest qualified technician; SLA depends on your contract tier.
- On-site Diagnosis — Technician isolates the fault safely, uses test instruments (multimeter, clamp meter, earth tester, thermal camera) and documents root cause.
- Repair or Temporary Fix — If safe, we repair immediately. If a temporary measure is needed (e.g., replace with a temporary feeder to restore service), we document and schedule a follow-up.
- Test & Commission — After repair, we test affected circuits, update asset logs and issue a service report.
- Preventive Recommendation — We suggest changes to avoid repeat faults and propose upgrades if necessary.
Standard reactive repair services we provide
- Fault-finding and wiring repairs (ring/main, switchboards)
- Circuit breaker and MCCB replacements, RCD/GFCI fixes
- Distribution board repairs and rewiring works
- Motor & starter troubleshooting, capacitor bank repairs
- Generator & ATS troubleshooting (mechanical/ electrical interface)
- UPS battery and inverter diagnostics (non-proprietary repairs)
- Surge protection repairs and SPD replacements
- Lighting repairs (LED, fluorescent, emergency lights, exit signage)
- Earthing and lightning protection quick fixes
Service-Level Examples & Response Times
| Contract Tier | Emergency Response | On-site Diagnostic Target | Repair Completion Goal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enterprise | 4–12 hours | Same day | 24–72 hours (or temporary fix + schedule) |
| Business | 24–48 hours | 24–48 hours | 48–96 hours |
| Essential | 48–72 hours | 48–72 hours | 72–168 hours |
| Non-contracted | Basis availability | 48–120 hours | Quoted after diagnosis |
Emergency = life-safety, fire risk, or complete power failure.
