Maintenance
Prevent the problem. Not just fix it.
Monthly inspections, IR thermography, emergency lighting tests, generator testing, and load analysis. Systematic care that reduces reactive costs by up to 70%.

Scope
What every visit covers
Monthly Inspections
Systematic walk-throughs covering lighting, panels, controls, and emergency systems. QR-coded asset tracking, photo documentation, and exception reporting.
IR Thermography
Thermal scans of panels, breakers, and connections to identify hot spots before they become failures. Documented with severity ratings and recommended actions.
Emergency Lighting Tests
Monthly functional tests and annual 90-minute duration tests per NFPA 101 and local fire code. Battery replacements and fixture repairs included.
Generator Testing
Monthly no-load and quarterly load-bank testing per NFPA 110. Transfer switch exercising, fuel level verification, and coolant checks.
Load Analysis
Circuit-level monitoring to identify overloaded panels, unbalanced phases, and capacity for future loads — EV charging, additional HVAC, or tenant expansion.
Grounding Verification
Ground resistance testing and bonding verification. Critical for protecting sensitive equipment, maintaining code compliance, and reducing liability.

Questions we get on maintenance.
What's included in a maintenance contract?
Monthly lighting inspections, QR-based asset tracking, covered lighting repairs, controls verification, thermal imaging of panels, generator testing, emergency lighting verification, and monthly written reports with photos.
How much does it cost?
Pricing ranges from $0.15-$0.32 per square foot per year, depending on tier and scope. Typical minimum is $9,000/year per property. We size contracts around actual building conditions, not templates.
What's NOT included?
Capital execution (major fixture replacements, panel upgrades), one-time engineering, EV charging construction, and HVAC equipment replacement are handled separately as project work.
Do you do IR thermography?
Yes. Infrared thermal scanning of panels, breakers, and major connection points is standard in Tier 2 and Tier 3 agreements. We identify hot spots before they become failures.
How often do you come out?
Monthly for routine inspections. On-demand for covered repairs. Immediate for emergencies on active agreements. Every visit is documented with photos and notes.
Can I add maintenance to an existing install?
Yes. If we did the original install, we bring you onto a maintenance agreement without extra onboarding. If another contractor installed it, we do an initial audit to bring you current.
Stop paying for emergencies
A structured maintenance program costs less than two emergency service calls per year. We will scope a plan for your building.
