WE UNDERSTAND FIELD PROBLEMS!

EXAMPLES:

Generally, "Uptime" cannot be measured in money. We have prevented several large institutions from having a major disaster because of over-taxed electrical systems. These were unknown until we discovered them during our routine checks.
Many internal facility issues we have found are related to poor procedure, installation, design and "stretching the budget" such as:
- ...under-sized transformers
- ...poor grounding
- ...poor X-Ray tube life
- ...hot / overheated electrical connections
- ...emergency generator failures resulting in deaths
- ...poor maintenance
- ...improper wiring
- ...corrosion
- ...erratic equipment operation
- ...transformers overheating
- ...contractor installation / service quality
- ...vague manufacturers specifications
- ...loose wiring
- ...high rate of electronic circuit board failures
- ...harmonics
- ...overloading of circuits
- ...poor power factor
- ...sags, surges, transients
- ...elevators
- ...inefficient overheated motors
External issues:
- ...many of the above
- ...utility power failures
- ...lightning / thunderstorms
- ...winter storms / icing
- ...power line switching
- ...power company waveshape anomalies
- ...harmonics
- ...sags, surges, transients
- ...poor power factor
- ...instantaneous power outages (cycles)

Free initial consultation!

Our only source of income is services. We do not sell power conditioning or energy saving products. We work for you and avoid conflicts of interest! Most clients do not need to purchase additional equipment to solve problems. Our firm negotiates / obtains for and passes all discounts on to you if purchases are required and you need our assistance. This helps to defray the expense of our services to you.

Since we are completely independent to make choices in your best interest, you are assured that you will have the best available solutions at the best possible cost. We help you solve rather than cover up problems.
