What an Electrical PM Program Includes

PM programs

Electrical failures rarely announce themselves. Connections loosen, insulation ages and breakers weaken quietly, then fail on the worst day of the quarter. A preventative maintenance program finds them on a schedule you control.

A typical program includes:

  • Infrared thermal imaging of panels, MCCs, splitters and disconnects under load

  • Torque checks and cleaning on distribution equipment

  • Breaker, contactor and drive testing, with readings trended year over year

  • Motor and VFD inspections: connections, cooling and drive fault logs

  • A written report with findings, corrections and thermal images after every visit

Programs follow the risk-based approach of CSA Z463, the Canadian standard for maintenance of electrical systems, and the documentation doubles as the maintenance record insurers ask to see.

Found in an Infrared Scan, Fixed in a Shutdown

Charged Electric runs electrical preventative maintenance programs for factories, warehouses, commercial buildings and property portfolios across Southwestern Ontario.

Industrial & commercial PM

Thermal Imaging Under Load
Hot connections show on camera long before they burn up. Scans run while equipment is loaded, which is where the evidence is.
Trended Year Over Year
Readings are recorded and compared visit to visit, so gradual failures show up as trends instead of surprises.
Reports Your Insurer Can Read
Findings, corrections and thermal images in a written report, ready when your insurer or auditor asks for maintenance records.
Licensed, Insured, ESA Inspected
ECRA/ESA licensed 7011473 and fully insured, with 24/7 emergency response if something fails between visits.

Built Around Your Shutdown Calendar

Scheduling

The best maintenance program is the one your operation can actually live with. We build the schedule around how your facility runs, not the other way around.

How the scheduling works:

  • Thermal scans during production, when equipment is loaded and faults are visible

  • De-energized work grouped into planned shutdowns, weekends and off-shifts

  • Deficiencies quoted separately, so you approve repairs before they happen

  • Critical spares identified before the day you need them

  • One program covering plants, warehouses and commercial buildings in the same portfolio

Start with a single baseline scan or a full annual program. Request a quote and we'll respond within one business day.

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.

Electrical PM Questions

Infrared thermal imaging of panels and MCCs, torque checks and cleaning, breaker, contactor and drive testing, motor and VFD inspections, and a written report with trended readings after every visit. The exact scope is built from your equipment list and how critical each system is to the operation.

Annually for most facilities, which is also the cadence many insurers expect. Harsh environments, heavily loaded gear and equipment critical to production justify more frequent scans. CSA Z463 takes a risk-based approach, and we set the frequency the same way.

Requirements vary by insurer and policy, but many commercial insurers ask for infrared inspection records at renewal, and a documented program strengthens any claim conversation. Our reports are written to be handed straight to your broker.

CSA Z463 is the Canadian standard for maintenance of electrical systems. It replaces fixed one-size-fits-all schedules with a risk-based approach: critical and failure-prone equipment gets more attention, low-risk equipment less. We build every program on that principle.

Mostly, yes. Thermal imaging has to be done with equipment running under load, so it happens during normal production. Work that requires de-energizing is grouped into planned shutdowns, weekends and off-shifts, so the program costs maintenance windows, not production time.

We run programs for industrial and commercial facilities across Southwestern Ontario, including Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Stratford, New Hamburg and Wilmot Township. Call +1 (519) 469-9797 or request a quote and we'll respond within one business day.
