Preventative Electrical Maintenance for Food Processing Plants
Planned electrical maintenance that catches failures before they stop your line, scheduled around production runs and sanitation windows. Charged Electric serves food processing facilities across Southwestern Ontario, ESA licensed and ISNetworld prequalified.
What's in a Food Plant PM Program
Preventative maintenance
In a food plant, an electrical failure doesn't just stop a line. It can cost the batch on the line and the product in the cooler behind it. A preventative maintenance program finds those failures on your schedule instead of mid-run.
A typical program includes:
Thermal imaging of panels, disconnects and motor connections to catch hot spots before they fail
Torque and connection checks on feeders, starters and washdown equipment
Testing of motors, contactors, drives and safety circuits, with readings trended visit to visit
Inspection of washdown-zone enclosures, seals and fittings for water and chemical ingress
A written report after every visit for your food safety, insurance and audit records
Programs follow the risk-based approach of CSA Z463, the Canadian standard for maintenance of electrical systems, and every visit is scheduled into your sanitation windows and shutdown calendar.
Failures Found on a Schedule, Not Mid-Shift
Charged Electric runs preventative electrical maintenance programs for food processing plants across Southwestern Ontario, from single-line facilities to multi-building sites.
Food Plant PM
- Scheduled Around Sanitation
- PM visits planned into sanitation windows, off-shifts and shutdowns, so maintenance never competes with production.
- Thermal Imaging Included
- Infrared scans of panels, disconnects and motor connections find the hot spots that become failures, before they trip a line.
- Documented for Audits
- Every visit produces a written report that slots into your food safety and audit binder, ready for CFIA inspections and customer GMP audits.
- Licensed, Insured, ESA Inspected
- ECRA/ESA licensed 7011473 and fully insured, with 24/7 emergency response if something fails between visits.
Maintenance Is a Food Safety Requirement
Compliance
CFIA preventive control plans expect facilities and equipment to be maintained and operated in a clean, sanitary condition, and your customers' GMP audits ask for the records to prove it. Electrical maintenance is part of that story: corroded enclosures, failing seals and overheating connections are findings, not just future breakdowns.
What a program protects:
Refrigeration and freezer circuits verified, so product isn't riding on a failing breaker
Washdown-zone gear inspected for ingress before corrosion becomes a fault
Motor and drive readings trended, so replacements happen on your schedule
Records that satisfy auditors, insurers and customer food safety programs
One burnt connection mid-run can cost a full batch plus the downtime to clean up after it. A PM visit costs a sanitation window. Request a quote and we'll build a program around your production calendar.

They installed a whole home generator for us. Top notch job! Everything went tickity boo. A lot of work involved but the trades were all very professional and explained the job to us as we went along. Other contractors wouldn’t even return our calls. Highly recommend! Local too!

I had them come help me with issues when I had my Lyric Thermostat. On time (early), pet friendly (did not mind my hyper chocolate lab) and price range very reasonable. I would highly recommend Charged Electric in the future.
