Why do we perform Maintenance and Testing?
Testing electrical equipment in the field is the best way to assure that it will perform its design functions safely and adequately.
While the manufacturer conducts electrical tests on equipment before it leaves the factory, these tests mean nothing once the equipment is exposed to the elements and rough handling involved with transportation and installation.
Field tests are conducted to verify that installed equipment has not been damaged and is ready for energizing. Tests on existing equipment indicate whether any corrective maintenance or replacement is necessary.
The method of testing to be performed depends on the age and state of the device under test. Hiring a certified third-party testing organization assures the owner that all tests will be performed objectively, independent of the manufacturer, according to specifications, using calibrated instruments and personnel qualified for the task.
What are the benefits?
We’ve seen firsthand the positive effects of a well-maintained electric system, including:
- Fewer repairs. Electrical maintenance reduces the chances for repair work. This allows you to save money in the long run.
- Lower energy costs. Our work ensures your system is operating at maximum efficiency. This way, you can pay for only the energy you need—and nothing more.
- Longer equipment lifespan. When you take care of your equipment, it will last longer and operate more efficiently through the years.
- Improved productivity. Electrical maintenance benefits not only your bottom line, but your employees as well. When your electric works properly, your employees are more comfortable and productive.
- Return on investment. Regular maintenance allows you to get the most out of your equipment. Ultimately, these long-term financial savings outweigh the cost of regular electrical maintenance.
