Why schedule sign maintenance before winter?

Xénon Enseignes & Éclairage explains why scheduling preventive maintenance on your signs before winter is crucial to your image and safety.

A commercial signage is not just a visual landmark for your customers: it’s the very image of your company. Whether it’s an illuminated signage, a pylon or a lightbox, your signage must remain reliable, visible and safe all year round. But seasonal changes put your installations to the test. Quebec winters, in particular, increase wear and tear, and can lead to breakage if your signs are not properly maintained.

At Xénon Enseignes & Éclairage, we believe that regular maintenance is the key to prolonging the life of your signs and avoiding costly repairs.

Critical components to watch out for

Preventive maintenance involves much more than checking that the sign is lighting properly. Our specialized technicians pay attention to several essential elements:

Lighting: LED bulbs, modules or transformers can weaken over time, reducing the visibility of your sign.
The structure: anchors, fixings and supports must remain solid to withstand wind and snow accumulation.
Materials: cracks, wear or discoloration can rapidly worsen with temperature variations.
Electrical circuits: a preventive check avoids short-circuits and complete breakdowns.

Regular monitoring can detect these anomalies before they become a major problem. That’s why we recommend maintenance at least twice a year.

The risks of lack of maintenance

Deferring maintenance on your signs may seem trivial… until the day a breakdown occurs. A partially extinguished sign, a damaged structure or distorted signage sends a negative message to your customers. Not to mention that emergency repairs always cost more than planned maintenance.

In the longer term, neglecting maintenance reduces the life of your signs, and can even pose safety risks.

The benefits of preventive maintenance

When you schedule service with Xénon Enseignes & Éclairage, you benefit from :

Greater reliability: your signs remain visible and effective at all times.

Why take action before winter?

While maintenance is important all year round, it’s particularly strategic to plan it before the cold season. Snowfall, icy conditions and extreme cold increase wear and tear, and make emergency interventions more difficult. By acting now, you can ensure that your signs are ready to face winter, and that they reflect an impeccable image despite the elements.
