ELECTRICAL MAINTENANCE SERVICES

C&H Electric provides essential maintenance services that ensure your electrical systems run smoothly, safely, and efficiently. Regular maintenance reduces the risk of costly failures and minimizes downtime, helping businesses avoid disruptions in critical operations.

C&H Electric’s predictive maintenance services use advanced technologies to assess the condition of your electrical systems while they are operating. By detecting potential issues early, such as overheating or equipment degradation, these services help prevent unplanned downtime, saving time and costs.

This method is used to detect heat anomalies in electrical systems. This non-invasive method identifies loose connections, overloaded circuits, and insulation breakdowns, which, if left unchecked, can lead to equipment failure or even electrical fires. Early detection helps prevent costly downtime and ensures the safety and longevity of your equipment.

This service complements infrared imaging to determine if corona, tracking, arcing are present by detecting sound waves that are beyond the range of human hearing. This method helps uncover potential failures in electrical components like switchgear and transformers, ensuring reliable operation and preventing unplanned shutdowns.
