Our insurer wants an annual infrared report.
We scan your gear under load and deliver a carrier-ready report with thermal images, photos and severity ratings, then fix what we find.

Keep your facility powered, safe & compliant
Infrared inspections, electrical testing and preventative maintenance.
We find a problem, fix it under the same license, and give you the records your insurer and NFPA 70B ask for.

Problems we solve
Sound familiar?
Most calls start with one of these. Each one has a clear next step, and most can be handled without shutting your operation down.
We heard NFPA 70B is now required. Where do we start?
We build your Electrical Maintenance Program: equipment inventory, condition ratings, a test schedule and the records to prove it.
Maintenance program setup
Breakers trip and nobody knows why.
We log load and power quality, trace the circuit, and find whether it is overload, a failing breaker, harmonics or a ground fault.
Troubleshooting · Power quality study
We can’t afford a shutdown.
Infrared and ultrasound work on energized equipment. Hands-on maintenance is planned for nights, weekends or your scheduled outages.
Energized inspection · Outage planning
Our panels have no arc flash labels.
We coordinate the arc flash risk assessment, update the one-line diagram and install NFPA 70E labels so your team knows the hazard.
Arc flash assessment · Labeling
The generator hasn’t been load-tested in years.
We test the generator and transfer switch together and document results the way NFPA 110 and your inspector expect.
Generator & ATS testing
Our switchgear is decades old.
A condition assessment tells you what can be cleaned and torqued, what needs parts, and what to budget for replacement.
Condition assessment · Upgrade plan
Our energy bills keep climbing.
We find wasted load and propose LED retrofits, controls, and solar or EV charging sized to your facility.

Why OPS
Find it. Fix it. Document it.
Scan-only firms hand you a report and leave. Install-only contractors fix things but rarely test or document. You shouldn’t need both.

NFPA 70B · 2023 edition
Maintenance is now a standard
NFPA 70B moved from a recommended practice to a standard. It expects every facility to run a documented Electrical Maintenance Program, and insurers increasingly ask to see it.
≈48%
of facilities in an insurer’s five-year infrared program had serious or critical electrical faults, with an estimated $4 saved for every $1 spent.
Source: CNA results via Infrared Training Center- Written program
A documented Electrical Maintenance Program with an equipment inventory and someone responsible for it.
- Condition-based
Each piece of equipment rated by its condition, which sets how often it must be maintained.
- Every 12 months
Infrared thermography of energized equipment at least once a year.
- Every 5 years
Arc flash risk assessment reviewed under NFPA 70E, and sooner after major changes.
- Records
Test results and corrective actions kept on file for insurers, inspectors and auditors.

Questions
Before you call
Do you need to shut down our power?
Not for inspections. Infrared and ultrasound are done on energized equipment under normal load. Hands-on maintenance like cleaning and torquing needs an outage, and we schedule it for nights, weekends or your planned shutdowns.
Do you fix what you find?
Yes. Every report comes with a repair quote, and the work is done under a Massachusetts Master Electrician license. After repairs we re-scan to confirm the fix.
What does the report include?
Each finding gets a thermal image, a regular photo, the equipment location, the measured temperature rise, a severity rating and a recommended action. You get a PDF you can hand to your insurer or auditor.
How is pricing set?
After a free walkthrough. Price depends on the number of panels and pieces of equipment, access, and whether you want a one-time survey or an annual maintenance plan.
Our insurer already sends someone to scan. Why use you?
Insurer programs usually need a qualified electrician from your side to open energized panels, and they don’t make repairs. We can open the gear for them, or run the program ourselves and fix what turns up.
Where are you located?
We’re Central Mass based and work at commercial and industrial facilities across Massachusetts.
