In healthcare, power reliability isn’t optional — it’s lifesaving. Hospitals, medical offices, and long-term care facilities depend on uninterrupted electrical systems to power everything from life-support machines and diagnostic equipment to communication and data infrastructure.
At C&H Electric, we understand what’s at stake. As one of Connecticut’s leading electrical contractors, we provide comprehensive contracting and maintenance services designed to keep healthcare facilities operational, compliant, and safe 24/7.
Electrical systems in healthcare environments must operate without fail. Even a brief outage or voltage imbalance can impact patient safety, disrupt critical procedures, or damage sensitive medical equipment.
That’s why healthcare electrical systems are governed by strict standards, including:
- NFPA 99 – Health Care Facilities Code
- NFPA 70B (2023) – Standard for Electrical Equipment Maintenance
- NFPA 70E – Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace
- OSHA 1910 Subpart S – Electrical Safety Requirements
Compliance with these standards ensures not just system integrity but also the safety of patients, medical staff, and maintenance personnel.
Electrical reliability in healthcare isn’t optional — it’s a matter of patient safety and compliance.
C&H Electric has delivered electrical construction and design/build projects for healthcare facilities. Our team brings deep expertise in constructing and modernizing healthcare electrical infrastructure — from major system upgrades to specialized medical installations.
Our healthcare contracting capabilities include:
- New facility construction and system upgrades
- Lighting retrofits and energy efficiency projects
- Emergency generator installations and upgrades
- Behavioral health, rehabilitation, and nursing facility systems
Electrical maintenance in healthcare is not just a best practice — it’s a regulatory requirement. Under NFPA 70B (2023), facilities must maintain and document ongoing maintenance programs to ensure electrical safety and reliability.
C&H Electric offers both predictive and preventive maintenance solutions designed specifically for healthcare environments:
- Predictive Maintenance: Infrared thermography, ultrasonic testing, and voltage/current analysis to detect issues early.
- Preventive Maintenance: Breaker testing, insulation resistance testing, cleaning, lubricating, and torquing of connections.
- Arc Flash Hazard Analysis and PPE Compliance: To meet NFPA 70E standards.
- Electrical System Studies: One-line diagram updates, short-circuit and coordination studies, and load assessments.
Predictive and preventive maintenance reduces unplanned downtime and ensures compliance with NFPA, OSHA, and Joint Commission standards.
