Electrical systems rarely fail at a convenient time. A loose connection, deteriorating component or equipment that has gone too long without inspection can eventually lead to an unexpected shutdown, damaged equipment, safety hazards or costly emergency repairs.

That is why electrical preventive maintenance is so important. Electrical equipment naturally deteriorates over time, and identifying developing problems before they become failures can make a facility safer and more reliable. A well-planned maintenance program also gives facility managers a clearer picture of the condition of critical electrical equipment and helps prioritize corrective work.

Today’s facilities depend on reliable power more than ever. Manufacturing operations, data centers, hospitals, utilities and other critical facilities can face significant consequences when electrical equipment unexpectedly goes offline. Maintenance shouldn’t be viewed simply as another expense—it is an investment in reliability and risk reduction.

NFPA 70B establishes requirements for an electrical maintenance program, including identifying maintenance needs and priorities, developing procedures, conducting inspections and testing, documenting results and addressing deficiencies. It’s part of our Circuit of Compliancy program that is available to all clients.

That’s where Team UIS can help. Our experts can develop a customized Electrical Preventive Maintenance plan based on your facility’s equipment and operational needs. Our approach can include identifying equipment, assessing its condition and impact, establishing maintenance frequencies, conducting testing and documenting deficiencies and recommended corrective measures. Team UIS also has NETA-certified technicians and other electrical specialists with the expertise to help keep your electrical systems operating safely and reliably.

When downtime is not an option, waiting for something to fail isn’t a maintenance strategy. Proactive electrical maintenance can help you find problems before they become emergencies. Contact us to learn more or schedule a maintenance appointment.
