Our Process
Step 1: Baseline walkthrough
We photograph and inventory every panel, disconnect, and major distribution point in the building, then build a maintenance schedule against the actual equipment vintage.
Step 2: Scheduled service visits
Quarterly, semi-annual, or annual visits scheduled around your operating hours. Torque, thermal, functional, and safety checks are documented on every visit.
Step 3: Written report
You receive a photographed report with condition ratings, corrected items, and prioritized recommendations for the next capital cycle.
Step 4: On-call between visits
Existing maintenance customers get priority dispatch on any electrical emergency between scheduled visits, day or night.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should commercial electrical systems be maintained?
NFPA 70B recommends interval-based inspections of commercial electrical equipment, typically annual for most facilities and every three years for switchgear-level torque and thermographic work. High-cycle equipment such as elevators, refrigeration, and manufacturing lines benefit from quarterly checks.
Do you offer service contracts?
Yes. We build maintenance agreements around your actual equipment inventory and operating hours. Contracts include priority dispatch, discounted labor on non-covered work, and annual capital planning meetings.
Can maintenance be done without shutting the building down?
Most maintenance tasks are done live or during brief planned outages coordinated around tenant hours. Torque checks and functional testing that require de-energization are scheduled after hours or on weekends.
